This is a great addition to CP! Thank you!! That said, all the videos have something to do with phones. With a nod to the one Android app, does no one develop anything other than WP7 stuff?

All this means is that English speakers have had to do most of the heavy-lifting with regard to writing and teaching in this arena. Worse, non-Angloglots have allowed it to happen this way. This leaves only two choices -- or both: (1) Learn English well, and/or (2) Write a great software development book in Dutch.

What? "Finders keepers, losers weepers" is prevailing here? That's crap!

A loyal employee has an obligation to notify the company that its intellectual property has been compromised. If the knowledgable employee is not loyal enough to report the incident, then the company had better protect itself further by firing the employee.

It is one thing for developers to leave with code they helped develop if its later use is only for one's own educational development. That's not much different than referring to old notes and assignments from bygone school courses. That shouldn't cause too much heartburn. It is entirely another thing if that code becomes another company's product, particularly if it is a competing company. That's wrong.

Do the right thing. Report it.

You trust Glary Utilities? I thought GU was going to be something awesome, but it seemed to behave like a trojan itself.

Anytime things seem bad as a software developer, just remember: You could be the one checking the shoes (or worse) ;P

LOL! I knew there was a purpose!

Today's CodeProject Daily News had an article entitled "Put Your Microsoft Office Data Into the Cloud Now". One of the best parts of the CP Daily News is the one-liner below the headline. For the article above, it was "Why wait for Office 2010 when you can host your files on an untrusted server today?" That's exactly my worry! How secure is one's information stored in places like Windows Skydrive, Office Live, Google Docs, Zoho, and the like?? And I worry all the more because they're free. Most people think software is free, so the services built with software ought to be too, but they've got to be making money in this picture somewhere. Are they data mining or something??? (I thought if they are, one of you guys are probably writing the code and would know ;) ) TIA, Bill G.

There's a subtle difference between a CV and a resume. A CV (curriculum vitae) is a list. For lists (and other similiar bullet-point carrying devices), one page is perfect. Resumes, on the other hand, are marketing tools designed to get you an interview. It is an advertisement, not a list. It has to tell a story about you. But you still have to do it fast (two pages or less). It isn't a novel.

One page is too short, but three pages (or more) is too long. If the reader doesn't love you by the end of page two, the pages after that won't endear you any further.
