Mr. Dynamic Web Developer - "This HTML thing looks a lot like .NET to me."

There is in fact a good training program in place. Interestingly, most find their ways to rote through it - you could say that although the curriculum is sound, the implementation isn't very effective - doesn't really test whether a candidate is fit to be introduced into a production environment.

That I can't disclose here due to obvious reasons.

Disclaimer: * please do not flame for being programming related - just sharing a laugh * Here's a bunch of outrageous stuff I've heard from some developers from my workplace. To set the context right, we're around 150,000 employees, working for a reputed software company in India. All kinds of developers join the company (and leave just as quickly) : all the way from superb programmers to downright mentally crippled trash. Here goes: Junior Male Dev (2 years experience in .NET): "Man, this HTML thing looks a lot like .NET to me". Junior Male Dev (1.5 yrs VB VB.NET) "What the f*ck is XML and why should I even bother about it? It's not important." Junior Female Dev (3 yrs Java Web Dev) "Divs, tables, who cares. They look the same." Junior Male Dev (3 yrs .NET) "He uses something called CSS for some re-use bullshi*. I say let's just trash it and do it our way. We have no time to waste." Junior Male Dev (2.5 yrs Java/J2EE) "Just copy paste the JavaScript function into the script section in all pages." Junior Female Dev (3 yrs .NET) "How to create buttons in HTML like buttons in .NET?" This tells you volumes about my workplace, doesn't it? It's the sad truth that 90% of the workforce where I work is trash that can be a disaster to any project. Worse, they manage to survive long enough to have minted some decent amount of money from the company. All hope is not lost though: there are, albeit few, good and seriously good developers who understand that computers aren't just for facebook and porn: but they get screwed hard because of these morons - overtime and what not. (I consider myself to be a good developer - I'm still shaky with optimizations, and super high performance code).

Have you seen the code that some of the folks write in Assembler? Amazing stuff!

http://projecteuler.net/index.php?section=problems[^] The best part about the site is the different solutions available. Once you submit a correct answer, you'll be shown the solutions of others. I thought I was capable of writing optimal, bit-squeezed, minimal CPU/memory consuming code, until I solved some of the problems here and looked at the solutions of others. Life altering, especially if you are seeking to improve your coding logic and ability. Check it out.

I don't think that's the solution. My code works fine in .NET 1.1 I don't have visual studio etc.

ASP - AJAX is SEXY. PERIOD.

I've recently started ASP.NET, and am making simple pages (in C#). I have a simple app, with one page - index.aspx, and it's codebehind file index.aspx.cs The index page has an asp label with the id 'myLabel' The page load in index.aspx.cs sets this myLabel to "Hello world". Simple. (basically myLabel.Text = "Hello world") I decided not to go the codebehind way, and instead compile the index.aspx.cs file into a dll. When using .NET Framework 1.1, it all works fine. I put the dll (generated at the cmd prompt by csc /t:library index.aspx.cs) into a bin folder, remove the .cs file, and the app works fine. When I do this in .NET 2.0, I get the following message when trying to compile the DLL: index.aspx.cs(17,13): error CS0103: The name 'myLabel' does not exist in the current context Can someone explain what I'm doing wrong? Am I supposed to do things differently for .NEt 2.0?

My office is testing a bunch of folks who have applied for Java jobs. I don't know head and tails of the language other than that its syntax is stolen from here and there (I'm still partyin' with MFC/Win32, yay!). My buddy was the invigilator and got the questions' sheet. This was one of the easiest assignments, and shockingly, only 3 out of the 14 people that attempted this problem finished it correctly on time. Some took more than 45 minutes but got it right, and others didn't solve it at all! I tried it for the hell of it beat the time by 29 minutes, finishing at 16 minutes (C/DevCPP), which I guess is not bad. Post your times here, and see if you can bring it down below 16 minutes. ;)

Q7. (Note: You cannot answer Questions 8, 11 and 14 if you are answering this question.
Pick another 2 from the rest).
Write a command-line program as follows:

First the program will take as input a +ve integer from the user, let's call it
the TARGET.

It will then take in a set of +ve integers from the user, and here the user gets
to specify how many integers he/she wants to enter. Let's call this set the
RANGE.

Now the program should compute as follows:

• Find all combinations in the RANGE, the sum of which add up to the
  target. Print such combinations at the command prompt. In a combination,
  repeats are not allowed. i.e. (x + x + y) = TARGET is forbidden. Every element
  in the combination must be unique.

• In case a user enters a RANGE element greater than the target, it should be immediately
  discarded and the user must be prompted for the element again.

• Order shifted cases don't count. i.e. (x+y) and (y+x) being printed
  separately is unnecessary and MUST be avoided.

• In case no combinations exist, the program should report so.

• Add exception handling code where necessary.

Example Run:

Enter Target: 15
How many set elements?: 5
Enter Element1: 7
Enter Element2: 8
Enter Element3: 12
Enter Element4: 3
Enter Element5: 22
Sorry. That element is larger than your target. Try again.
Enter Element5: 4

Combinations are:
1] 7+8
2] 8+3+4
3] 12+3

Time: 45 mins.

I posted something here: Codeproject C# Forums[^] which annoyed me for 16 minutes. How long does it annoy you successfully? Yeah yeah I know this ain't goin with the rulz and I'm not suppose to even utter programming stuff here......... but what the heck, I like breaking rulz! Lol. Back after a long time, wussup fella's? FatBoy, Ilion, Cataclysmic Quantums, Captain See Sharp et al. Where are you all? Hope you're all doing great. Life's been hectic at my end since the time I got into a development hell called the "Mac", which I now lovingly refer to as a "cumbath" at office, and people (read: Mac Fanboys) are slowly starting to accept it. Holla back.
