The Programming Professional career track includes the Microsoft Certified Technology Specialist (MCTS: ASP.NET) and the Microsoft Certified Professional Developer (MCPD: Web Developer) certifications. In both cases, these programming qualifications involve the C# development language.
The MCPD certification track extends to building interactive, data-driven web-based applications.
In the IT industry you'll often hear qualifications referred to as 'Certifications' and that's how we've referenced them throughout this site.

A programmer's work varies widely depending on the type of business they are writing programs for. For example, the instructions involved in updating financial records are very different from those required to duplicate conditions on an aircraft for pilots training in a flight simulator.
Although simple programs can be written in a few hours, programs that use complex mathematical formulas or draw data from many existing systems, may require more than a year's work. In most cases, several programmers work together as a team under a senior programmer's supervision.
