Programmers may deliberately obfuscate code to conceal its purpose ( security through obscurity ) or its logic, in order to prevent tampering, deter reverse engineering, or as a puzzle or recreational challenge for someone reading the source code.

* Programmers range in expertise from novices who need simplicity above all else, to experts who may be comfortable with considerable complexity.

Programmers may continue to fix these problems throughout the life of a program.

Programmers in software development companies may work directly with experts from various fields to create software — either programs designed for specific clients or packaged software for general use — ranging from computer and video games to educational software to programs for desktop publishing and financial planning.

Programmers may also start a project by sketching out the code in pseudocode on paper before writing it in its actual language, as a top-down structuring approach.

Programmers may also make pseudo-layers of sprites — individually controllable moving objects drawn by hardware on top of or behind the layers — if they are available on the display system.

Programmers intending to use non-standard fields should bear in mind that the same non-standard subchunk ID may be used by different applications in different ( and potentially incompatible ) ways.

Programmers or standards-makers may choose to deprecate a feature for any number of reasons.

Programmers may define a special method in an object to provide custom copying implementation.

Programmers may define special methods and in an object to provide custom copying implementation.

Programmers have even succeeded in secretly installing large amounts of benign code as Easter eggs in programs, although such cases may involve official forbearance, if not actual permission.

Programmers may decide to create internal abstractions so that certain parts of their program can be reused, or may create custom libraries for their own use.

Programmers may not have a dynamic user interface solution for the end user worked out but must still deliver the feature or release the program.

Programmers may declare cursors as scrollable or not scrollable.

Programmers ' work varies widely depending on the type of business for which they are writing programs.

Programmers generally know more than one programming language and, because many languages are similar, they often can learn new languages relatively easily.

Programmers are less likely to skip writing unit tests, spend time web-surfing or on personal email, or cut corners when they are working with a pair partner.

Programmers usually use such a bridge when they lack an ODBC driver for a particular database but have access to a JDBC driver.

* Programmers do the technical specification during the design phase, which is why they are called programmers / designers, and during testing time they fix bugs.

Programmers sometimes believe they have a clear idea of where the bottleneck is, but intuition is frequently wrong.

Programmers using pure TDD on new (" greenfield ") projects report they only rarely feel the need to invoke a debugger.

Programmers have made extensive use of XML in SOA to structure data that they wrap in a nearly exhaustive description-container.

On the Saturday night, they have a selection of the year's Guest Programmers.

This show will start with a series of Guest Programmers introductions that were shown at the beginning of each of their shows and will then include them introducing a few of the videos they selected during their program, followed by one or two of their videos.

The term is often used to describe a more bare-metal way of doing something – for example: " Real Programmers don't use IDEs, they write programs using " ( that is, they write machine-readable binary files from beginning to end without making any mistakes ).

Programmers can mark program elements ( e. g. classes and methods ) to indicate that they maintain application-specific or domain-specific semantics.

Programmers work in many settings, including corporate information technology (" IT ") departments, big software companies, and small service firms.

Programmers working in System RPL or machine language most commonly work on an HP48 emulator because it is much quicker and easier to restore the state of a crashed emulator than to restore a crashed calculator.

* Interview with David Fox about his work for Lucasfilm Games ( from: James Hague: Halcyon Days: Interviews with Classic Computer and Video Game Programmers )

Programmers took advantage by turning their FM stations into venues for formats from country to progressive rock to jazz and classical music, all with the enhanced quality that stereo sound could bring.

* Ron Penton: Data Structures for Game Programmers, Muska & Lipman / Premier-Trade, ISBN 1-931841-94-2 ( game programming examples with SDL )

Programmers had difficulty producing a game that could recognize the fast motions of a joystick, and so players had difficulty executing special moves with any accuracy.

* An interview with Jeff Minter from Halcyon Days: Interviews with Classic Computer and Video Game Programmers

Programmers wrote source code and entered it using a text editor, a compiler then created object code from source ( often requiring multiple passes ), and a linker combined object code with runtime libraries to produce an executable program.

Programmers around the world created hundreds of programs equivalent to DeCSS, some merely to demonstrate the trivial ease with which the system could be bypassed, and others to add DVD support to open source movie players.

Programmers dealing with the UCI protocol are limited to sending algebraic strings, and the UCI convention is to code a move where the king ' takes ' the castling rook.

Programmers who are familiar with assembler language ( in addition to their chosen HLL ) and are also familiar with the code that will be generated by the HLL, under known conditions, can sometimes use HLL language primitives of that language to generate code almost identical to assembler language.

Programmers familiar with x86 assembly language can readily understand the simple implementation above, which works on all CPUs using the x86 architecture.

Programmers can also use the DBI and DBD modules indirectly using one of the object-relational mappers available for Perl, such as DBIx :: Class, for more database-independent code with no need to write SQL.

Programmers also apply the concept to improving and debugging legacy code developed with older techniques.

Programmers using C and languages with similar syntax sometimes standardize a practice of using braces to clearly define the intent of the statement.

Programmers familiar with the APL programming language will see some similarities in Hartmann pipelines.

The writer of the article wanted to come up with some group name other than " The Application Software Programmers ," so he came up with the name " The Blue Sky Rangers.

A " crawl " is also used at times during the program, with details of upcoming Specials and Guest Programmers printed in text at the bottom of the screen during a short snippet of a selected clip.

* Object interaction – Programmers are able to experiment with objects by creating objects on the " Object Bench " and calling individual methods interactively ( including passing of parameters and inspection of results ).
