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

Your C++ background should help you become an excellent Java programmer. Now you'll have one more skill in your arsenal and it should make you even more marketable in the future. Good Luck! Tim

if you were in mexico, you wouldn`t say that i guess, here is really hard to find a job, and when the company is looking for a programmer, they want a Vb Programmer or a Fox programmer nad even cobol sometimes, im working on a project with vb and i want to finish it to move on, if someone offer me a job using vb i have no other choice but to use it, because something has to pay the bills. :( "Now I guess I'll sit back and watch people misinterpret what I just said......"

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
