This may sound like a dumb question but I’m gonna ask it anyways. I’m currently a senior in college working towards an MIS Degree. During this time I’ve had to take languages such as COBOL, VB, C, Java, XML, HTML, ASP and some database designclasses.
What I was wondering, is how people program in a busniness environment (ie. the real world). In my classes we have individual programming assignments, then at the end a large team assignment consisting of 4-5 members. The problem is, we never know how to divy up the work properly, and 1 guy ends up doing it all (usually me).
How is work divied up in the real world. Are people assigned modules to write?? Do 5 guys sit at one monitor and hammer it out (probably not, but I have no idea)?? I’m just wondering because our team assignments in college are not organized properly, so I was just wondering how it is done in the real world. I am also planning on entering the workforce as a developer, and just curious to what it is actually like out there??
Thanks for any feedback,
TJ
