I sold my soul ... to java !!!!!!!
-
I was laid off , and I would be unemployed in December , but one of my 27+ cvs that I sent , hit one company that interviewed me for a java programmer job(i have 2,5 years of c++ background), btw I don't have any real work experience and almost zero domestic experience with it, all I have was a 50 hours introductory course on java that I toke 3 years ago. Now if you think this is weird, the weirdest part is that I got the job ... I was literally bombarded with programming technical questions , but I passed with distintion :-) , and because of that I grabbed the job against programmers with much more java experience than me :wtf: :wtf: :wtf: Now I can pay my debts to my family ... and I can hold on against the bashing and the plagues that you will place on me ;P I know, I known , what people do for money :rolleyes: Cheers,Joao Vaz And if your dream is to care for your family, to put food on the table, to provide them with an education and a good home, then maybe suffering through an endless, pointless, boring job will seem to have purpose. And you will realize how even a rock can change the world, simply by remaining obstinately stationary.-Shog9 Remember just because a good thing comes to an end, doesn't mean that the next one can't be better.-Chris Meech

Congrats Joao! Keep in mind, it *could* have been VB... :~ Shog9 ------

Congrats!!!! It could be worse - you could be teaching QBasic or something like that for a living :-D Embrace it - you will learn loads, and translating between languages is not hard. :)

Someone should probably make up a T-shirt for those of us bashing out code in languages they'd rather not discuss in gentile company. Clearly I'd have to wear the VBScript version. Here's something funny: I just checked up to see if a certain URL that came to mind was taken and look what I found[^]. cheers, Chris Maunder
Lol - it would be Mac :laugh:

Hey, it's great to be employed isn't it? :-) I lost my soul to Java almost 2 years ago and I don't regret it. I actually like the language and the JSP/J2EE technologies. It's funny 'cause when I got into it I realized that the people who supposedly already had years of experience in it weren't using correctly. Get this, one guy was using it sort of like VB/Assembler -- instead of writing his own classes, he would create an ArrayList object and pass each piece of data as an element of the array. :wtf: Anyway, it's amazing the kind of "experienced" people you find these days... When you get a chance, read up on inner classes -- a really cool Java-only feature. It's nested classes with a big "S" in front of them. I really like using those. Regards, Alvaro
