通常,人们习惯于把软件工作简称为“编程序”。这种说法有一定道理,但并不完全。因为程序及其各种资料的确是软件工作的主要产品,尤其在计算机发展的早期更是如此。但在今天,从事软件工作的人,并不局限于“编程序”,而是从事与程序的编制相联系的一整套研究工作与生产活动。 Often, people are accustomed to simply refer to software work as “programming.” This argument makes some sense, but it is not complete. Because the program and its various materials are indeed the main products of software work, especially in the early days of computer development. However, today, people engaged in software work are not limited to “programming,” but are engaged in a whole set of research work and production activities linked to the preparation of programs.
