New! Send an E-Card to celebrate the holiday!

For decades, programmers have made major contributions to our lives. Programmers are ultimately responsible for many of the conveniences we enjoy such as DVR, direct deposit, web surfing, online bill paying, cell phones, etc. Behind most modern day convenience, there's a computer programmer.

This website is dedicated to those programmers who make our lives easier.

Whether you are a high level Application Developer (Java, PHP, ColdFusion, ASP), a low level hard core programmer (C, C++, Assembly), a main frame programmer (COBOL, LINC), or develop embedded systems, we welcome you to celebrate in your accomplishments and sign our guestbook.

Want to get involved? You can! We need folks to contribute in order to make this event as good as it can be. Here are some ideas to get involved:

  • Link to us! Show your support by adding a link to InternationalProgrammersDay.org from your site.
  • Do you have an article, photos or other memorabilia? Contact us!
  • Are you a graphic designer or a web master and want to contribute? We could use logos, banners and more. Contact us!
