    You are an exception to that. You must be awesome. After spending 20 years as an accountant you became developer. Why did you leave it though? In my country accountants are happy people. :)

    If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put foundations under them.

      Not that I've seen ;P

      C# has already designed away most of the tedium of C++.

          Hi, I have a friend of mine in my company who works as Web Designer. He knows little bit of java script and has NO programming background. He has 10 years experience working as web designer. From the past few days he is after me to teach him .NET and wants to become developer. I explained him that programming is not so easy task but he is not ready to accept. To give him an example, I told him to give me the logic for palindrome, but unfortunately he couldn't. I know nothing is impossible to do if you wish. But can really a web designer become a programmer after spending 10 years in his profession and without a base in development. Will it be worth for him to spend on coaching classes and start development as a fresher at this point of his career. Please suggest.:confused:

          The answer is yes, if he is capable. I spent the first 10 years of my working life as a graphic artist in the printing industry, but down deep in the depths of my soul I knew along that I was really a code-geek. The catch is that very, very few developers who are self taught are any good because the bad habits picked up this way are usually very detrimental to professional software development. So if your friend wants to become a developer, I would suggest that he enrolls in appropriate theory and language courses that will set him on the right track to thinking the right way. Cheers.

          I wasn't, now I am, then I won't be anymore.

                  Art to engineering? Thats a fair leap of mindset...

                    Well this link http://www.naukrihub.com/accounting-jobs/[^] says something about accountants. I dont know about them personally but saw some facts on websites, so commented like that.
