A '''programmer''' does [[computer programming]], full-time or part-time.

A '''programmer''' can also be one who ''programmes'': this spelling prevails for [[television]] and such-like broadcasting programming (scheduling).

[[Ada Lovelace]] is considered the first programmer ever to express an [[algorithm]] intended for implementation on a [[computer]] in October [[1842]] and thus the first programmer, see [[Ada Byron's notes on the analytical engine]].

Those proficient in computer programming skills may become regarded as [[famous programmer]]s or [[hacker]]s.
