A computer programmer works with a computer analyst and computer engineer to analyze, design, develop, test, implement, and maintain computer applications to meet the functional objectives of a business.
It is the job of the computer programmer to design and update the software that runs on the computer. A programmer generally works with an analyst to help determine the best way to approach a problem or implement a desired feature for a new version of a software package.
