In order to become a software developer you need to earn a degree. You have to learn programming. Software engineering is not focused exclusively on coding, but you will need to know at least a couple languages, and a deeper understanding of how they function.

Some of the languages are 

C++

C#

Java

Java Script

Python

You have to study maths. Many software engineer students work as interns while they complete their studies.[6] This can be an excellent way to gain hands-on training and network with potential employers. Look for internship opportunities through job posting websites and networking.

Software engineering is a rapidly growing field. You have a good chance of immediate employment, although you may start as a programmer and work your way up to software development.
