What other's are there like Dundas?

Hey David, Hmmmm, I don't really think what I do is 'plug' our products as much as make sure that a) they are included as an alternative where appropriate, and b) to make sure that points disucussed are accurate. That's all. It doesn't help anyone, particularly me, to be a salesman 24 hours a day. I think we've got good stuff, and I'm proud of it, so shoot me :) Happy holidays everyone, David
Im sorry if it came out like that, basically what I didn;t want was: "Buy Dundas - Theeeeeyrrrrre great" (like the kellogs frosties advert). I know you probably would never do it, but it has happened to me in the past :(. Have a good break, David Wulff dwulff@battleaxe-software.co.uk

Chris, I just want to thank you for putting up your jpeg class on your web page. Last month I was going to interview for a job. They asked me to bring a sample program, so I cobbled up a simple web browser. Your jpeg class was perfect and worked like a champ, and I got an offer from the interview. thanks Jim :cool:

It is kinda cool how CodeProject really acts as a support network for each of us in our work. It really isn't all about what we can do as individuals as much as how we can channel our access to resources, our relationships, etc. Don't read this the wrong way Jim, I'm not questioning your competence, I'm sure you're rock solid. It's just really cool to see how the net is accelerating our abilities. David

No problem, I would really like to think we're all friends here. I count on you guys to keep me in check :) David

I think you have struck on something Dave, albeit verbosely as quite possibly any Canadian in the cold would. :-) It doesn't matter how Jim gets his Job, What really matters is Jim gets his job and then manages to perform to his new employers expectations ! It also doesn't matter how Jim does this performance, but that Jim does perform.
When employing a programmer / solution provider the employer should concern themselves with whether the programmer can perform and not how. Thus and therefore Eg It doesn't matter if an employee finds there solutions at www.dundas.com or www.codeproject.com or self creates them, but what matters is that the employee does find the solutions and is capable of implementing , said solutions.

(if only my boss believed that). also, it shouldn't matter if the employee works for one, two or three other companies - as long as the work gets done. ahem... -c

Oh, oh, I see the makings of a return of our off-shore programming thread of a few months ago... My $.02, The right individual can do wonders as a loosely-bound contractor, but usually having someone as an integral part of the team, working closely with others in marketing, test, development and management provides far greater value. There's an infinite amount of variety in employment arrangements of course, and each situation should be evaluated for its merits. David

So prose I, sir, copy hereJust in case it was not clear, I didn't claim in the interview to have written the smaller animals jpeg class. I just used it as a component to render jpeg images inside my demo application. Its a great class for that purpose. I've used the raw jpeg code before, and this was 10x easier. I just wanted to thank the author for his work, not claim it for my own. I did not claim to have written MFC, WINSOCK, expat, or STL either; but I used in my little demo browser. The point of my demo was precisely to show how I could quickly come up with a working (if simple) application by rolling available components into a project. I thought that using components was the whole point of C++. Jim

Jim, 1. We have no disagreement ! 2. You were Clear ! 3. I was trying o say you did it the right way. >>> I thought that using components was the whole point of C++. 4. That is oop. What I am trying to say is not just being able to use components that is important, But also the ability to find the components is a great skill ! Best of luck with your Job hunting // Regardz Colin Davies
