Recently I worked my butt off developing this product for my company. The data itself was very detailed and intricate. Now that this project is more or less complete. I find myself being nit picky about certain things and find myself being slightly impatient. Do you guys ever feel this way? I am happy that today is Friday and I will get to have some R and R this weekend. It was a project well done and got nods from the big wigs of the company.:)

All companies try to get the one up on each other google tries to monopolize search ms monopolizes the OS area..nothing new

Just making the point tho that the spec for html5 wont be finished for at least another couple of years and even then we are going to have to deal with the cross browser issues.

I have developed web apps in multiple techs asp .net, asp .net mvc, jsf etc. Also I have used jquery and the multiple frameworks. All of which are pretty cool. I also see alot of promise in HTML 5 which of course is the future standard. But my question is this. Different browser will implement different features of html5 so we as devs are still going to have to be concerned and code according and check to see if the html5 feature we need is implemented so this aspect wont change from html 4.01 Now for business apps my company has used silverlight which works the same across all browsers. We dont have the tablet requirement yet as this is a desktop web app. And development was alot less painless as my team are all .net software engineers. What do you guys think about this debate. I just got a feeling JS and HTML5 wont solve 'everything' like alot of people think. Cheers

so i guess no one knows the answer..oh well

I am just looking for a simple answer to the question:) thats all

ok i deleted it from ask a question section. so does anyone know the answer?

Can anyone explain this line in plain english (I am learning). var userCallback = e.UserState as Action<bool> I understand how to call a typical invoke method on an action but how is e.UserState convertable to an Action<bool>? From what i have seen in object browser e.UserState is just calling a property. When i right click on the property and select get definition this is the property it is referring to. In this case UserState is from System.ComponentModel.AsyncCompletedEventArgs public object UserState { get; } Thanks for your time .

THanks guys, Technologies such as Skype etc makes things easier..The market where I am has really dried up so I considering getting another place,

I unfortunately have been a casualty of this bad economy and have not been happy with opps presented with from my area from recruiters. I am seriously looking at relocating to an area closer to a major tech area DC, Dallas or maybe even Tampa but this will take me away from my spouse. So i was wondering have any of you had to deal with this and how did you do it?

Do you wake up in the morning looking foward to what you have to do that day? Do you have a good cordial relationship with your management. Do you have good communication with your management and team mates? Do you have support of your management and do they trust your opinions? I just wanted to get quick points of view from other developers out there. I am working really hard to find an IT job that i really want. Do you think enjoying your job is a pipe dream?

Im sure the answer I will get is that it depends across different companies, but my definition would be someone who can come into a company conceptualize the business need and provide technical guidance, design and development of an enterprise level solution..In your opinion should certification justify someone calling themselves an architect? what do you think?

I feel i have the experience and knowledge. Just wanted to exchange ideas with people who have been throught the struggle to get things off the ground.

What was the key for you yo get started and do you enjoy it more than working a standard 9-5 job? Im at the phase in my career where i am seriously considering doing this and any advice would be helpful.

Or even those that can understand what the software process is like. I have been at numerous places where technical ignorance was very high and then when I would attempt to teach them they would still move ahead with their agenda. In other words not listen. As i am looking for a new job, I am interviewing them as well as them interviewing me. What do you guys think?

And are they making more than developers. I was told that they do but i wanted opinions from you guys.

I am currently in florida but currently considering a DREAM project in the Wash DC area. Itll be great for the career. Im concerned about beinvg away from wife for long periods of time. We have no kids. Please share your experience with this..Thanks.

Anyone else here plays this?

What server are you guys on etc:)

its ok ive done queries like this..the key to these is just split the query up and study it piece by piece. SQL is very power and can perform queries like this within a minute as opposed to doing stuff like this in front end code.
