  • BS in CS. Are specializations worth it?

    - by CheesePls
    I'm currently pursuing my BS in Computer Science and my school offers specializations based upon taking certain advanced electives. I was thinking about getting two of them since they are sort of on the way to my degree anyway. They are Software Engineering and Programming Languages and Compilers . Would these specializations actually be useful in finding a job? Would employers even care about them?

  • Working for free

    - by truncate
    Finances are making me take an extended period off of my college education. In my current state, I don't feel fully qualified to be employed by an iPhone software company. While I work on getting things back together, I'd like to try an work for a software company for free in my local area (I'm going to college out of state and have to move back as well). The economy has forced employers to be very picky about who they hire, if any at all. Since I'd like to continue refining my abilities, I was wondering on what the consensus is on working for free. It can't be considered an internship, as I would no longer be in school..., I guess an apprenticeship is more appropriate. Like I said, I don't think I'm qualified to be paid for my services, and I don't want to be. I just don't know how to ask, or if it's even appropriate to ask them to show me how to develop software in the real world. My thinking is that they would be willing to get some work done for free and if I prove myself, they could hire me. If not, there was no major loss. They get some free development, and lose a bit of time helping show me the ropes. I get either a job, or valuable experience that I need. The other alternative is that I try to work out things by myself on the iPhone platform, but that sounds terrifying. I appreciate any input the community has to offer.

  • Excel VBA Application.OnTime. I think its a bad idea to use this... thoughts either way?

    - by FinancialRadDeveloper
    I have a number of users I support that are asking for things to happen automatically ( well more automagically but that's another point!). One want events to happen every 120 secs ( see my other question ) and also another wants 1 thing to happen say at 5pm each business day. This has to be on the Excel sheet so therefore VBA as addins etc will be a no no, as it needs to be self contained. I have a big dislike of using Application.OnTime I think its dangerous and unreliable, what does everyone else think?

  • Jquery hover to only have effect for certain amount of time

    - by Andrew Cassidy
    Hi, I'm using a jquery hover effect but would only like the effect to last for around a second when rolled over....ie user rolls over image, it changes for a second, then reverts back to the original image. $(document).ready(function(){ $(function() { $('.rollover').hover(function() { var currentImg = $(this).attr('src'); $(this).attr('src', $(this).attr('hover')); $(this).attr('hover', currentImg); }, function() { var currentImg = $(this).attr('src'); $(this).attr('src', $(this).attr('hover')); $(this).attr('hover', currentImg); }); }); }); This is the code I'm using for the standard hover. Any help would be great, thanks.

  • average velocity, as3

    - by VideoDnd
    Hello, I need something accurate I can plug equations in to if you can help. How would you apply the equation bellow? Thanks guys. AVERAGE VELOCITY AND DISPLACEMENT average velocity V=X/T displacement x=v*T more info example I have 30 seconds and a field that is 170 yards. What average velocity would I need my horse to travel at to reach the end of the field in 30 seconds. I moved the decimal places around and got this. Here's what I tried 'the return value is close, but not close enough' FLA here var TIMER:int = 10; var T:int = 0; var V:int = 5.6; var X:int = 0; var Xf:int = 17000/10*2; var timer:Timer = new Timer(TIMER,Xf); timer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, incrementCounter); timer.start(); function formatCount(i:int):String { var fraction:int = Math.abs(i % 100); var whole:int = Math.abs(i / 100); return ("0000000" + whole).substr(-7, 7) + "." + (fraction < 10 ? "0" + fraction : fraction); } function incrementCounter(event:TimerEvent) { T++; X = Math.abs(V*T); text.text = formatCount(X); } tests TARGET 5.6yards * 30seconds = 168yards INTEGERS 135.00 in 30 seconds MATH.ROUND 135.00 in 30 seconds NUMBERS 140.00 in 30 seconds control timer 'I tested with this and the clock on my desk' var timetest:Timer = new Timer(1000,30); var Dplus:int = 17000; timetest.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, cow); timetest.start(); function cow(evt:TimerEvent):void { tx.text = String("30 SECONDS: " + timetest.currentCount); if(timetest.currentCount> Dplus){ timetest.stop(); } } //far as I got...couldn't get delta to work... T = (V*timer.currentCount); X += Math.round(T);

  • Silverlight vs ASP.NET for Business?

    - by Sahat
    Which of these two technologies has bigger demand today? I have plenty of free time this summer so I was thinking of learning either ASP.NET or Silverlight 4, and get an internship this coming Fall. If you've read my other question here on SO "Financial Market Developer Dilemma" then you already know that I am planning to work in the financial industry a few years from now. So my questions are: Which technology would benefit me more in the long term: Silverlight or ASP.NET? Which one pays more $$$? Which one has higher demand? What is the learning curve like for ASP.NET and Silverlight? Thanks in advance!

  • What are suitable performance indicators for programmers?

    - by Graphain
    Hi, I am wondering what performance indicators people encounter, and think are realistic, for programmers in the workplace? I've seen numerous articles (I can't recall a really good one that I read right now) that detail how programmers will optimise for the metric they are being measured by (whether that be lines of code etc.). However, is there any metric that can be used as a good performance indicator of a programmer in the workplace, and conversely be used as a milestone by a programmer when negotiating with management? Replies Thanks for the link to that one and good feedback so far!

  • Developer Curriculum Vitae - "Experience"

    - by Neil Barnwell
    I've been involved in some interviews at work recently, and having seen a few CVs, I've been thinking of my own. I wonder how I might rate my proficiency at the various technologies I've worked with on some sort of simple scale: Beginner, Intermediate, Expert. I've been doing C# for a few years now, but I'd hesitate to call myself "expert" particularly (partly because surely I haven't been doing it long enough, and partly because I can't bring myself to be so bold as to say I'm expert at anything). I think I probably was expert at VB back when I got into programming, but any VB skills I had will have deteriorated by now. Of course I wouldn't even bother listing things on my CV that I'd consider myself to be "beginner" at, I'd just add them to the "other tech" category, but I'd be interested to hear tips on helping me decide.

  • Why did you pick your current job?

    - by Nathan Feger
    Why are you working where you are right now? Specifically, how did you go from offer to acceptance? I have found that it is pretty difficult to figure out how to analyze a new company and I'm looking for some advice. My current choice was heavily influenced by a former mentor of mine. Yet, I'll probably need to be my own man soon enough... So, what did it for you?

  • problem with sql job and datetime parameter

    - by geoff swartz
    Another developer created a stored procedure that is set up to run as a sql job each month. It takes one parameter of datetime. When I try to invoke it in the job or in just a query window I get an error "Incorrect syntax near ')'" The call to execute it is... exec CreateHeardOfUsRecord getdate() When I give it a hard coded date like exec CreateHeardOfUsRecord '4/1/2010' it works fine. Any idea why I can't use getdate() in this context? Thanks.

  • is there evidence that offshoring is causing developer salaries to go down? [closed]

    - by jcollum
    I realize this is a controversial and political topic. I'm trying to decide if offshoring is something that is effecting our industry in any substantial way or if it's just some bugaboo. I've read various posts on SO about it, but none addressed the idea of evidence for offshoring. Studies, papers, opinions of people who know about such things etc. I hear a lot about offshoring and its effect on our job market. However it all seems to be hearsay and conjecture. It does seem like some people are genuinely worried about it. This offshoring thing has been going on for quite some time, should be enough time for some real data to come out. If I had to pick a number I'd say it started during the dotcom boom -- a time when the need for developers far outweighed the local talent pool. We're now in a time when the talent pool is expensive and corporate wallets are tight, seems like an ideal time to find a good cheap developer in some other country. But is that actually happening? From reading some posts here on SO, I've concluded that offshoring is a really tough thing to do right. There are a lot of companies who think (or say) they can do it right, but some small percentage of them are actually able to pull it off. Is offshoring affecting the job market in any measurable way? Is offshoring measurable at all? Do we need to stop worrying about this?

  • Do Brainbench certifications carry any weight with employers?

    - by Joshua Carmody
    Back in 2000, I got a bunch of programming certifications from Brainbench. However, they didn't seem to be doing me any good, and they needed to be renewed every year, so I let them lapse. Recently I've been hearing more about Brainbench, and I've been wondering - do these certifications impress potential employers at all, in 2009? What has been your experience?

  • What fields have job security?

    - by computergeek6
    I can program pretty well, and I'm trying to think of a programming area that I can practice so I have a better chance of getting a job when I finish my education. I'm currently learning game development, but there are a ton of other people trying to get into game dev, so I want to find something a little more secure and sustainable to develop skills in. I've thought of things like financial systems and engineering stuff, but nothing I can think of is accessible to someone in high school. I'm trying to find something that involves physics or networking and isn't as popular a field as game dev. Does anyone have any ideas?

  • feeling insufficient while looking for a programming job ...

    - by user325661
    Hello everybody It's really dream to be programmer for me.So i always wanted to be .I had so small knowledges from commodore basic which i couldn't figure out anything in it .Then i tried to learn Visual basic 6 by myself and result wasn't good as i expected because i even didn't understand classes.Then i left to learning programming and to dream to be programmer. But challenge hadn't finished yet . After all of these i started to learn c# and i did chess engine which i hadn't believe that i can create one.I sometimes feel that i understand many thing about programming like knowing classes ,inheritance,abstract class and methods why exist , interfaces ,extension methods ,static classes ,threads. but i am not expert all in it . i just know that as i need . i don't know still i will learn many thing about these.i have also learned html, css2 , php and database concepts a little sql ,tables relations between primary keys etc but i haven't used them in praticaly . i just did some samples so i feel i am lack of knowledges. As a result still i can't evaluate my skills and can't decide what is my level.I just feel myself one step ahead of junior sometimes :) . Still can't decide that it is time to job seeking. While searching job on web i have never seen a junior advertisement. All looking for a good experiencing one.Nobody care about juniors. When found job advertisement which i feel sufficient myself a little then i start to feel that i think i can't do what they want from me and loosing job after have it in short time would leave many crap feelings into my low self-confidence. Please advise me something ... Also i want to ask some of concentrate questions. 1) If i enter a job which i can't provide their expectations should be in employers responsibility to test me while apply the job ? 2) If i answer "yes , i can " questions which is abstract(for example: can u do something like this) would be my responsibility ? Because such abstract questions is not clear and can't know before start it what i really can or not . 3) i have no professional experiences in this job so i even don't know how teams working on projects but a friend of me said that programmers only write method bodies while seniors create all project.So it looks what i can do really easy but i feel that small companies doesn't work like this so it is better work in a big company for starting who has seniors? 4)last applied job was looking for c# . net developer but then i learn that they need .net web developer.Does it take long time to learn specific sides of web programming while knowing c# desktop programming ? Thanks for all answers since now.

  • How much do politics/office intrigue interfere with your day to day tasks at work?

    - by Michael Dorgan
    I'm currently blessed to be employed at a location where politics are pretty much non-existant and management overhead is nearly nil. As I've only worked at this one location for my entire, lengthy career, I have very little frame of reference outside of an occasional Dilbert comic or offhand comment from others about just how bad office politics and management interference get in the way of getting your code done elsewhere. While I'm not actively looking for a new job, this one point has made me quite reluctant to even look seriously elsewhere. My question is, just how much are politics a way of life in larger companies - in or out of the game industry and how much does it affect your day to day satisfaction?
