SoftUni offers what most universities lack – a modern curriculum with an emphasis on practical experience and hands-on projects, rather than solely on theory. During my time there, SoftUni gave me the ability to develop full-stack projects from start to finish and prepared me for the professional world. The most important thing I learned at SoftUni is that in software engineering every problem has a solution. I obtained this mindset thanks to the young and ambitious lecturers, who repeatedly demonstrated this through coding examples.

The most important lesson I learned from my education at SoftUni is the value of gaining a deeper understanding of fundamental concepts. I still remember when we had to create a web framework from scratch in one of the courses. Going through this rigorous learning process helped me better grasp the technology, an essential asset for when you start working. SoftUni's team of trainers is highly professional. Within a relatively short time, we were able to cover a lot of ground, allowing me to also gain and hone in on numerous new skills.

SoftUni is a great place to make the first step that just might change your life – it happened to me. I know software engineering seems hard, but SoftUni has a great learning program that starts with baby steps and you learn new skills in stages. Once you join the program it will not be easy, but trust me - don’t give up!

What is programming?

Programming is the process of creating computer software by writing instructions, called code, in a programming language. These instructions are organized in sequences, called algorithms, that tell a computer what to do to perform a specific task. The sequences of instructions, along with definitions of functions, classes, and other programming elements, are known as source code or program code. Programming, also called coding, involves writing code in one or more programming languages and is typically done by programmers using a software development environment.
What do programmers do, in short?

  • They write program code, test the code to see if it works correctly, and fix bugs (errors).
  • They develop computer software, which includes source code, user interfaces, server logic, and more.
  • They develop back-end–program logic for storing and processing data on the server side.
  • They develop front-end– user interfaces for data visualization and interaction with users.
  • They develop, manage and extend the functionality of software systems, web applications, mobile applications, computer games and other software projects.
