programming languages (computers)

The military relies on computer systems for all sorts of tasks, including communication, data analysis, geospatial analysis, decision-making, weapons control, simulation, testing, and administration. Many of these systems are coded by enlisted members of the military or by outside contractors hired by the military. This cool volume introduces readers to the types of coding jobs available in the military today and in the future, and explores the types of technologies that military coders employ. Using vivid photographs, primary examples, and professional advice, it provides an outlet for budding coders in the military field and ensures they are prepared to tackle the future of the coding industry.

The availability of energy affects every aspect of our lives, from driving to electricity and computer function. Coding is crucial to energy creation and distribution. It plays a vital role in locating new sources of traditional fossil fuels, building alternative energy systems, evaluating the impact of new energy systems on the environment, and creating smart grids to distribute energy efficiently. This book explains the opportunities for coders in the energy industry today and in the future, and provides insight into what it is like to work on software development in the energy field. It provides students with guidance on courses to take in high school and beyond, and offers advice on how to obtain a job as a coder in the energy industry.
