A computer programmer with such strong skills and so much specific experience that they are the equivalent of a rock star in the domain of software. Many people play guitar pretty well, but only a few become rock stars. These programmers can develop more software than 5 - 10 newly hired regular programmers because they know what needs to be done and how to do it. They also might set the architecture of the product that dozens will build upon. Usually associated with dot com websites.

Pretty much your overall superior, this sexy Norwegian knows C# to a new level and could make pretty much any software if you asked him to. How would you know he's a C# god? he doesn't use foreach.

When learning a new language, unless your first working sample is "Hello World" you will be cursed and will struggle to use that language for anything useful.
I was learning Ruby on Rails but because I didn't start with a "Hello World" example, I've been struggling with it from Day One.

Bob: "Hey, Jim. I can't seem to understand why my Ruby on Rails project just won't work."
Jim: "Did you start with a basic "Hello World" example to show you understand the basics?"
Bob: "Heck no! Why would I waste my time."
Jim: <smh> "Well, good luck, Jim. You've cursed yourself with The Programmer's Curse.

Get the The Programmer's Curse mug.
the 'programmers curse' is a common issue where you learn enough of a programming language that there is no longer any major new information you can learn about it, making it boring, you know how to do most anything you need to in that language and no longer want to make anything in it. This is possibly due to a lack of creativity and or lack of a long attention span, you learn the language and have no creative ideas how to use it in a way that entertains you.
John: Hey a few months ago didn't you tell me you were learning Python? Make anything cool in it?
Kevin: Yeah I learned the language pretty well but now because of my programmers curse, I haven't made anything interesting yet.

A type of programmer that is typically misunderstood due to the misunderstanding of what the Java language is, people often believe that Java SDK is Java. Due to the ease of using a software development kit, people who program see Java SDK users as half programmers. Java, however, does not encorporate the SDK and you start with bare bones, not even C can make that boast. Furthermore, a Java Programmer is more experianced with object orentation allowing them to excel in true software development.
He is a Java programmer, what a wus
That is JAVA not Suns Java SDK, why don't YOU try using C without "#include"ing the SDK files.
