Working for CodeProject
-
Hello CP'ers, Some of you might have noticed that at the bottom of the Main Page on CP (way below the "fold") we have a job posted. While we've had some response to this job posting, we'd like to get a lot more. So I'm taking this opportunity to invite you to apply. Here is some background information. Thanks to you (and all the hard work of Chris and team) CodeProject is growing and thriving. That means we have to add some "bench strength" to the CodeProject technical team. And although we are currently looking for one individual to help us with a specific project, our "need" looking out over the next 12 months is for substantially more than just one developer. Ideally, we'd like to bring on people who are familar with CodeProject, and who understand how this community works. And naturally, we're looking for people with strong skills in ASP.Net. Chris descibes it this way: "The job will be churning out ASP.NET using C#. Obviously we'll expect you to be able to design, document, discuss, debug and debate the intricacies of development. You will need to have excellent communication skills - both in person and on paper, and be able to work under a minimum of supervision." This job is based in Toronto. Canada has a working visa program that makes it relatively easy for people with a strong technical and educational background to legally work and live in Canada. That means that we are definitely considering people for this position who are not from the Toronto area, but who are willing to relocate here. To take advantage of the fast-track working visa, non-Canadian applicants must be experienced software developers who hold a valid university degree. Having a university degree is not absolutely necessary for those applicants who are already legally permitted to work in Canada. The bottom line is that we are very excited about the future of CodeProject and we're eager to find excellent software developers to help us serve this fast growing community. If you'd like to be a valued member of the CodeProject team; if you live in the Toronto area or would like to; if you have strong programming skills in ASP.NET using C#... then please send me your resume: john@codeproject.com I'd love to hear from you. Chris and team have also devised a little programming test that has been helpful to validate the technical "experience" of developers. You can send your resume in first, and follow with the test, or send them both in at once. The choice is yours. If you're interested...
:doh: If only we hadn't just forked out a huge amount of cash to an agency to help us with Australian immigration... Canada sounds pretty good when coupled with a life at CP :)

Note to self: Learn ASP.NET and C#. And Toronto's only an hour from Waterloo.... hmmm.... The kindest thing you can do for a stupid person, and for the gene pool, is to let him expire of his own dumb choices.

Paul, Good idea. The introduction part... that is. I am helping out CodeProject on a specific project. I myself am not a developer, but have worked sporadically on various CP related things over the years. It has been neat to watch all of Chris's efforts pay off in creating this fantastic community. Even though I don't seem to know the basics... i.e. that the correct honorific is CPians, opposed to CP'ers, I have been around CP from the very beginning. In fact, I even offered up a dozen names for CP when it was being originally launched, but CodeProject was 10 times better as a name than my best offering. I have tried to throw in the odd idea here and there. For example, if memory serves me right... it was my suggestion to Chris that resulted in the creation and the name of the Lounge. Not that I'm trying to take any credit... CP is the result of a really phenomenal amount of effort by Chris and team. I've just been watching it all happen. But I have been around, and have a pretty good feel for what Chris and Dave and the community are trying to build. That's why I am so excited about the future of CodeProject. And that is why I think this current job position will be a great career opportunity for an enterprising ASP.Net developer. John McIlroy

I find it interesting learning of lurkers such as yourself who have contributed to Code Project. No doubt Chris is a bandit and probably needs a good decade of holiday soon but I am sure he would be the first to tell us that he could not have done it without chaps like yourself. The environment, the social circle and connections that have led to CP being a success must be an interesting story as well as useful for developers in a rather sticky market. Christopher Duncan I am sure would agree in saying there are many aspects to CP that eyes-down developers could learn from to enhance their careers. Good fortune finding the ASP.NET bandit :) regards, Paul Watson Bluegrass South Africa Brian Welsch wrote: "blah blah blah, maybe a potato?" while translating my Afrikaans. Crikey! ain't life grand?

Paul, Thanks for the nice words, but I can assure you that my contibution to CP has been miniscule to the point of non-existent. I did have a very tiny role in the very beginning of CP when it was created, but it has been Chris and the long-time contributers (like you and many others) that have made this such a valuable resource. I can also pretty much assure that there are no legion of lurkers here supporting Chris's efforts. He has done virtually 100% of the heavy lifting (and light lifting too for that matter) on CP. I'm not trying to make Chris blush... but it is really amazing what he has been able to accomplish over the last 4 years. The CP team has VERY recently gotten a little bigger, just because of the size of the community and the fact that Chris needs at least 3 hours sleep per night. I think Chris has created something special here, and it's fun to be able to watch it grow and prosper. John

Paul, I was thinking about the last 4 years watching CP, and I'm sure that many people think that there is no way that Chris could have done as much of the work, come up with as many of the ideas, and done the amount of programming that it would take to grow CodeProject into what it has become. The reality, however, is that Chris has actually done more work, come up with more ideas, and done more programming than it even appears he has done. It probably seems that with a site this big that Chris would have to have a large number of helpers. He hasn't and doesn't. He has always had generous volunteers from the community willing to give back, but other than that, Chris has been rowing the boat virtually single handedly with the support and ideas of Dave helping to keep the focus. Like I said in the last post, and I don't mean to embarass Chris, but it has been amazing to watch!! John

Crikey. I suspected diabolical amounts of effort by Chris, but that is rather incredible. Impressive someone can remain so focused, so committed and on the limit for so long. Some of us may have brilliance but to have brilliance and the work ethic of whatever built the pyramids is rare indeed. Did I say a decades worth of holiday? Make that two plus another lifetime to catch up on sleep. regards, Paul Watson Bluegrass South Africa Brian Welsch wrote: "blah blah blah, maybe a potato?" while translating my Afrikaans.

Paul Watson wrote: who hold a valid university degree *sigh* That is really exasperating. The importance of it, gleaning from John's post and my recent experience, is that a valid uni degree makes it many times easier to get the needed credentials to work in Canada. Unfortunately it wasn't until I had accepted the job and went out to visit the Dundas office that John and Troy found out I never got my bachelor's degree. In my defense I don't think I hid the fact that I dropped out after 2.5 years, it certainly wasn't my intention. Luckily for me Dundas have let me continue to work for them, but instead of moving there soon; I have to wait quite a while for all the paper work to go through.
