It definitely created a huge gap between theory/practice, or just between observation/action.

► How To Become A Software Engineer? ◄

Becoming a Software Engineer is what most programmers/software developers dream of. While it might seem like the same thing, there are some nuances when it comes to becoming a software developer and a software engineer.

"Software engineering emerged in the late 1960s as a new engineering discipline concerned with all aspects pertaining to software production. It encompasses concepts, principles, theories, techniques and tools that can be used for developing high-quality professional software. First introduced at the 1968 NATO Software Engineering Conference in Garmisch, Germany, software engineering emphasizes a systematic, disciplined approach to software development and evolution and typically applies to the construction of large software systems (or products) in which teams of numerous software engineers are involved."
