Getting Credit for Programming Accomplishments?

An anonymous reader writes "I am a college student new to corporate culture. For the last few weeks, I have been working on a very large project: revamping our customer service website with tons of new tutorials and information. Recently, I got an e-mail forwarded from my supervisor of improvements that HIS supervisor requested. I am fine with compliments and complaints about my work. However, I realized in the e-mail that my supervisor took credit for the development of this content. I have been under his direct supervision in this whole process; much of the new content was his idea that I ended up implementing. Is it out of line to request that in the future I get mentioned for my work?"

I've heard an old saying...

about seeking the praise of others.

Getting public praise is like pissing your pants: everyone around you can see it happening, but only you can feel the warmth.

Something to consider when asking yourself how hard you want to press for this.
