Howdy! It's been awhile since I visited. I like to travel, visit local coffee shops and have a read, visit local events (like Seattle Seafair festivals), sleep, and do some networking stuff like BarCamp, MSDN Events, etc. :cool:

Let's just not lose our heads over this. . . :cool:

Hard to choose. Caladan sounded nice, I liked the beautiful ringed planet around the planet in Pitch Black tho I wouldn't want the night-flying guests, that beautiful Venice planet in the 2nd new Star Wars trilogy was pretty, and it would be cool to see how LV-426/Acheron would have urned out if they'd finished terraforming and those pesky Aliens hadn't have required a nuclear strike. . . :cool:

My question is: are we in a multiverse (multiple universes) or is the universe a conglomeration of multiverses made up of verses? :cool:

I absolutely hate to agree with you, but I have to. I was SO excited about a year ago to return to school to learn to be a web programmer (to build on web design skills and lots of interest). I was ready to take on all the classes, learn, program, etc. But! Many of the classes kept being canceled. There was no real overview of the whole field, and even intros into basic stuff like XML were canned. No PHP, no Perl, no QBasic, no C#. The tools needed to do basic stuff like learn SQL Server didn't work or the school's IT folks brilliantly decided to replace or dismantle servers the first week of the quarter. But worst of all, I came to realize after 4 quarters of 4.0 grades that there had been no series of really basic programming classes. There was one, with a really good instructor, but one was not nearly enough and most of the basics - well, let's just say I am having to find a way to teach myself. I was getting "A's" in ASP.Net without having basic programming background, and it was showing (to me) in how much I struggled in what seemed like basic assignments where the VS2005/2008 Intellisense and error messages intruded on basic work without providing any help but hindering me from doing simple stuff - all because, it turned out, I didn't have a grasp of most basic programming skills. A shiny new certificate - that means very little. Back to the drawing board for me. Here's hoping there's at least enough front-end work to keep me employed while I learn more on my own. . . DOES anyone here have a suggestion of 1-2 basic sites/tutorials (or series) that go over the programming BASICS with little assignments/examples, etc.? Thanks!!! :cool:

Very pretty, but not very full of search results yet. It was fun seeing an illustration of my Jobster profile pull up, though goodness knows why my more recent and robust LinkedIn profile was absent in the search results. :cool:

Such a help!! Seriously, check out the ASP.Net Learning portion of the site where there are lots of short videos, tutes, and such. I believe they have something where you can get the basics of creating a simple website, plus the 4 Guys from Rolla cover sone stuff too. It's helped me gain some visual familiarity with Visual Studio. http://www.asp.net/learn/[^] Good luck! :cool:

Not a simple question. It depends on what exactly you need to create and whether Visual Web Developer has enough power to let you do that. It also depends on what you want to spend, your familiarity with each product, Visual Basic and/or C#, AJAX, etc. Finally, it depends on the time you want to spend learning/building/testing. I've worked a bit with VS2005/2008, and while it is pretty cool, it is NOT easy, for the faint of heart or someone who needs to bang something out without time learning and testing. Good luck!! :cool:

Hallo. I'm actually working on a gig where my client uses DotNetNuke (DNN). It is free/open source, though doubtless the hosting and any personal tech support is what adds cost. DNN is an open source CMS built on ASP.Net, snd so far, I'm finding that it works fairly well, comes with several basic skins and choices of other free/low-cost skins, etc. You can add security, create different portals (such as using it as your CMS of choice for multiple clients with different website addresses), etc. As for the WYSIWYG part, DNN has FCKEditor (FE) built in for that, so you will need to study FE to work out minor CSS issues brought on by slight conflicts between the built-in DNN Stylesheet Editor and the FE syles and config files. Looks pretty easy if you have access to the full directories (which as a contractor I do not). Check it out: DotNetNuke: [^] FCKEditor: www.fckeditor.net/[^] Good luck!! :cool:

I was still into print design and production, and found myself out on my a#* with no contract work a week after a job ended. Had to go back to school, then again, because I'd learn one new set of skills, still not be able to find work, then be considered 'out of date' as work started to open. Guess I should be a perma student. . . :cool:

Hmmm. . . is there a link or few that shows what a developer's resume might look like? I come from a design and previously an admin background, and it's hammered into us that 1 page tops is it, and that HR/hiring managers just won't give more than a 5-second glimpse. 2 or more pages is seen as taboo pretty much anywhere I go/network, so this is new to me... :cool:

THAT'S what's scary. We can be programmers and still want/need assistance from someone else on hooking up something as simple as a new dvd player. . . How can that be??? :cool:

This has helped me clean up and feel better - not for the whole 7 days or anything, but the soup for 2-3 meals for 2+ days: http://www.118diet.co.uk/diet-tips/sacred-heart-soup-diet.html[^] Good luck! :cool:

I'm fairly new to Javascript, but I also like to compact things a bit so that I don't get lost in pages and pages, so I kind of prefer the function() { } way of doing things, particularly for nested brackets. But only so long as it remains easy to find/correct/read. :cool:
