Entry Level Programmer?
I have a 2 year degree in Computer Programming. I can code in VB, C++, Java, VBA, C# and VB.net. I love working with computers and don't want to limit myself to programming. I really have not done anything with the degree since I graduated but would like to start looking for some entry level work. Where is a good place to start? I am also very good with all of the MS office programs. I live in Denver so if anyone knows of an opening there please let me know. Thanks
Entry Level Programmer?
Get out the yellow pages, look up companies and call the personnel dept and find out if you can fax over your resume. Have a specific job you are looking for in the objective of your resume
Reply:Try putting an add in the paper- let your potential employer know you're out there. You could also try an online resume website, like monster.com, spyder.com, etc. I hope you find a good job -or should I say- a good job finds you.

To be hired as a Windows programmer, what programming languages do I need to know?
I have a B.S. degree in Computer Science from several years ago, but no real work experience in programming for MS Windows.
I am taking a certification class in Visual Basic .NET, and will be taking several more in .NET ADO, .NET ASP, and SQL Server 2000. I have some experience in C/C++, but not for Windows programming. Do most companies expect me to know ALL of Windows programming? Because .NET insulates you from having to know the Microsoft Foundation Classes (MFC), or even the Win 32 API. Are companies expecting me to know Visual C++ or Visual C#? I guess it depends on the company, but I'm looking for answers from people who have worked in a Windows programing environment. Thank you so much.
To be hired as a Windows programmer, what programming languages do I need to know?
It depends on where you're hired. Most companies doing Win32 application development are using .Net, or C++ for really complicated apps. If you're writing Windows applications, bet on using .Net and a language like VB or C#. MFC isn't used that much anymore, and in fact .Net is really a better replacement for it.
Companies would expect you to know how to do things with Windows programs, usually program familiar easy to use features (nice looking lists and grids, drag and drop, etc...).
Most companies are doing web development these days, not so much Windows applications. If you want to focus on Windows, I can't stress how important learning the Windows API (the traditional C API). All Windows programming frameworks are based on this, and knowing the low level functionality is extremely helpful in learning how the OS works.

Programmer's Interview: Would source code for a Grades Calculator be too junior for a employer to look at?
I was told Thursday to bring source code for an interview on Monday. Basically, most of the code I have is web stuff (asp .net, SharePoint web parts, javascript) which would have nothing to do with the job and some of my older code in C++ is just horrible. I do have a grades calculator in C# but it just seems to junior, but it's the only piece of code I have that has a good OOP feel to it. I was planning to do a presentation and go through the entire SDLC of the code (including a flow chart of the input %26amp; output in Visio) but I keep thinking this is too junior. I'm sure the main goal of this was to see if I code a lot in my spare time but that's impossible with 2 kids at home. I should have asked them to give me some requirements for a program they would want to see but it's too late for all of that. Shoud I continue with the Grades Calculator presentation or do something else?
Programmer's Interview: Would source code for a Grades Calculator be too junior for a employer to look at?
I would be concerned if you brought a grades calculator to an interview, because it's both an entry-level problem and there are countless versions floating around on the Web, so I might be worried you stole it.
I would think it wise to bring both that AND your ASP.NET stuff. Basically, you want to be able to prove you can work with the GUI but also can create elegant solutions; that would provide some comfort to me if I were interviewing you (albeit, not much).
UPDATE:
You sent me this comment via e-mail:
%26gt;%26gt;This is actually the second interview, so they already know I'm entry-level. ... I actually built this May 06 and I wanted to expand it by writing all grades to a database and allowing students to see their grades via a web page. Do you think this is still a bad way to go? I am prepared to break all of my engagements this weekend much to my wife's chagrin.
Since they know you're entry-level, they're probably more interested in whether you produce clean, well-documented code and whether you can work as part of development team -- that is, take on some small part of a larger product and produce work that others can understand.
So, I would make sure your code is well-commented.
Another option is to find some open-source software -- such as at http://www.sourceforge.net -- and amend the code to either fix a reported bug, implement a requested feature, etc.
You don't actually need to be a member of most projects in order to get the source code, view the bug reports or feature requests. You can always download the source code for any of those projects and tinker with it to your heart's content.
I would feel very good about an entry-level team programmer if he demonstrated an ability to pick up a project that's already underway, be given an assignment to work on some part of it, and he did so well and without harming the other parts of the program.
Reply:I forgot to follow up on this. I want to thank you for your help on this. I didn't get the job due to the company switching gears to search a Senior developer instead but they really liked my interview. Report It
Reply:If you're confident about it, just go for it. Show them that you really understand the concepts of OOP and how much you have put on the design. If you made use of design patterns it would be even better. Some knowledge on algorithms and data structure would make it perfect.
You don't have to show them you have worked with big projects. Just show them how much you know and used in your application. And your ability to overcome any problem.
Reply:Bring it to the interview. Explain it briefly; show that you understand how it does what it does, and get on with the INTERVIEW.
Reply:What you should think about is why they want you to bring some source code. Usually people don't feel like looking at source code, especially if its complicated and especially if its an interview.
There's a good chance that what they want to see is how you write code. Naming conventions, structure and comments. Why? Because if you've ever had to join a project and start looking at code, those are the 1st things you think about. Descriptive variable names are always a plus. Writing object oriented code is what its all about when it comes to structure. No one likes huge blocks of code. Having good comments are also important. Sure you did something fancy with a certain section, or have certain values assigned. It would be good to know why those decisions were made.
Right now I'm working on my thesis and that involves adding a few features to an existing tool. The 1st thing that got me annoyed was that there was a lot of code, though it was clearly modular, and there were hardly any comments and no do specification documentation.
If your grades calculator is too much code in one file, or too little code, then you may want to find a different program or complement it with some other program/work you've done.
Reply:Depends on the job you are trying for. if you're looking for an entry level job, what you have is fine, all they really want to know is that you are trainable.
if you're looking for something other than entry level, you better start coding.

How do you make install packages for linux programs you make?
I know absolutely nothing about linux application development, and am a C++ programmer. What I mean is that I'm not familiar with linux's API nor how to create deployment packages.
Do the packages have to be unique for every flavour of linux?
Once I compile an application, what am I supposed to do next. What if it has a GUI, not using wxWidgets (as well as using wxWidgets)
I've tried googling with not much success.
How do you make install packages for linux programs you make?
Usually the formats for source code that is distro free are either compressed on bzip2 or tar.gz files. You may need filters capable of converting to these type of files in order to get the source code packed. Also you need to make a "configure" and "make" script (one of each) in order to get the software installed on the system in order to run it.
Hope this info gives you some ideas.

Which technology is best for career option is it MS.Net or SAP ABAP?
I am a C programmer with 2 years industry experience. Now i want to shift my career toward new technolgies but i am wavy between MS.Net and SAP ABAP. Can any professional make me clear in dis?
Which technology is best for career option is it MS.Net or SAP ABAP?
You have 2 years of programming experience, I would suggest you learn .net. (my personal view is as yours - toss a coin and take the decision :))
Reply:As a project manager, I think that while .NET is very active right now, there is nothing tying people to it. If a company has put the very (very) large investment into SAP and it's configuration, they are not going to get rid of it anytime soon.
If you are looking for job continuity the SAP is the wiser choice. The downside is that after a couple of years there are no new challenges.
Going .NET means less security, means that you have to keep up with evolving technologies, means more flexibility.
So, do you want security or flexibility? A static coding environment or some challenges?
Reply:i think sap abap is more suitable. with having c it will be more easy for you . ms.net is good but its not as good as sap for a career prospects. considering " c " if you have c++ or c# or vb as programmer then i said for .net.

How do you install PDFLib Lite on a Windows system using Apache and PHP?
I have looked at the Byzantine documentation, and not being a C programmer, cannot make sense of it.
How do you install PDFLib Lite on a Windows system using Apache and PHP?
1. Download and install PDFLib DLL from here:
http://pecl4win.php.net/ext.php/php_pdfl...
2. Place the DLL in the extensions folder for your PHP install. That folder was defined during your install and is listed in your php.ini file:
http://us.php.net/manual/en/ini.core.php...
3. Add the appropriate extension line to your php.ini file:
extension=php_pdflib.dll
4. Restart PHP / Apache.

Is there a modern, supported and preferably cheap equivalent of Turbo Pascal?
I don't want to become a C programmer, but remember enjoying the structured yet fairly comprehensible syntax of Pascal. What choices are available today - the ability to code for Windows and preferably other GUI/OSs a must.
As an aside, if one was to go back to basics with an old copy of Borland Turbo Pascal 5.x, would it be feasible and practicable to write code that makes use of the Windows API?

Why use VB modules?
I'm a C# programmer, learning some VB.NET...
I'm curious as to the usage of "modules". Why would somebody prefer a module over a class with shared members? Functionally they're the same, and in code they're practically the same except that using a class makes the code legible, rather than a jumble of routines from random modules of code.
Aren't modules an archaic feature from pre-.NET days? Why do they still exist?
Why use VB modules?
Modules are application level classes. In other words, to use a shared class, you have to type in VB:
MySharedClass.MySharedSubOrFunction
Where as Module, you can just type MySharedSubOrFunction
See the difference?

Does anyone use vi anymore?
Years ago, I was a pretty hot UNIX/C programmer. I used vi. I wonder if anyone is still using the old tools.
Does anyone use vi anymore?
Vi is still hanging in there, but primarily in the Unix/C++ arena only. Tools have come a long ways since VI and really only the hardcore or old school programmers still use it today.
You can find several sites around the web that deal with VI and tutorials (in case you forgot some of the commands). I personally don't use it but that is because I linger in different environments.
However, I do know that there are still people out there using it. Especially for old legacy systems.
Reply:People will continue to use vi as long as it still runs. It's quirky in ways, odd in others, but once your "muscle memory" learns it, it's sufficient for most tasks you need to do with a simple text editor.
Reply:i prefer vi to other simple editors like notepad even on windows ;)
Reply:For sure, there are die hard unix people out there that still use it. Its very powerful, just a total pain to master.
Reply:everyone here who uses linux uses vi.
about 50 -60
Reply:Most of the people in our department like to use vim, though there are some who worship Emacs. In fact there's one professor so obsessed with Emacs he gives two workshops a year on how to use Emacs.

Excel 2003 sum function question ...?
I'm a C++ programmer %26amp; have limited experiment in Excel.so I give u an example of what i need to do :
cell A1 = 3
I set a function to save this value in B2.so now, I have B2=3
now I change A1 value to 5 (A1=5) %26amp; I want to have : B2=3 + 5 which means B2=8.this has to go as many times as i want
In other words,I want a function to sum B2's current value with new A1 value.
Excel 2003 sum function question ...?
Excel doesn't work that way out of the box -- it's "declarative" not "functional". In other words, it declares something about the current state of the world, but doesn't keep around any state of what has come before.
So the easiest solution is just to have an area of your spreadsheet be the data-entry portion (user can enter values in column A, you will sum them in B).
A trickier solution, which will accomplish what you want, is to do some VB programming that notices when A1 changes and updates the value of B2.
Start by reading some help doc on Excel Macros.

1996 Oldsmobile 98 Regency Elite V6 3.8?
I have a (1996 Oldsmobile 98 Regency Elite V6 3.8) and the air conditioner is not blowing correctly the mechanic I took it to says that the part that is needed is for the air conditioner "Distribution Box" or "A/C Programmer" but I can't find either one of these anywhere? are either real parts or am I not calling them the right thing (VIN# 1G3CX52K1T4311941)
1996 Oldsmobile 98 Regency Elite V6 3.8?
it's called an AC programmer... call a dealership parts dept.... It's located on top of the heater box, behind the glove box... make sure it has vacuum because alot of times that is why they don't work.
Reply:i'm not sure about the parts but number one rule of information sharing on the internet is dont give specifc info such as the entire vin # of your car. thats how things get stollen. just helping to protect you. i suggest taking that part out. people can answer the question without knowing that info it just means they have to know the type of car is all.

I need a tutorial on how to create forms and save data on my website?
I've looked on google, but no luck. I assume I need to setup a "mysql" database, then use some kind of script program. I need a tutorial that explains this specific process step by step. I am a c++ programmer, so it won't be too hard for me to understand.
I need a tutorial on how to create forms and save data on my website?
There is no need for any database on the server side. You can write form data to a flat file if need be.
When a user submits form data the data is transmitted to the program referred to in the form. There are two types of methods GET and POST. The form data is made available to your program differently for each method but there are plenty of libraries for plenty of languages to abstract and hide the low level details (one method I know makes the data available by setting environment variables and you refer to the name of the environment variable which is the same as the form field name).
Once your server side program reads the data in you can pretty much do whatever you want with the data. Process it, store it to a database, write it out to a file, format it in and send it as an e-mail, etc. You are limited by what your host makes available.
Most inexpensive hosting services provide MySQL and/or Postgress relational database servers, so that is a logical choice.
However, never ever neglect security. Thoroughly scrub and edit the input data before using or storing it. If you are expecting a field to be a number between 1 and 12 make sure it is a two digit number between one and 12 and not letters, not SQL commands, not HTML commands, not a string of digits 12,218 bytes long followed by system commands, etc.
A good term to start searching with is "CGI".
Reply:Yes, you first need to pick out a database. I really enjoy working with mySQL. Then you should try php for your webpages. This is great stuff, and I use it on all of my dynamic sites. But basically php is a server side scripting language, so you can import/export info with this.

What programming languages go into a video game?
Okay. I'm going to be kind of picky with this question. What I want to know is what different programming languages are commonly incorporated into a video game (I am speaking primarily of PC games). A friend told me that several different languages must go into a game to get it just right.
I am a decent c++ programmer; it is the language that I am most fluent in. If I wanted to create an RPG with mostly 2D graphics, are there any recommended languages that I should learn in order to add to the depth of my game?
If you could please cite any sources, that would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
What programming languages go into a video game?
Ok, it is good that you have narrowed it down to 'PC' and 'RPG', the short answer is: you can use any language you want just as long as you can: draw to the screen, play some sounds...etc.
Now, there's nothing you can't do with C++, and most of the PC games are indeed written in C++, but I am talking about newer games like Half-life, which use 3D graphics.
Your friend is kind of wrong, you do not need SEVERAL programming languages, although it is not strange that many projects use more than one language.
If you want to make a 2D graphics RPG game and you are 'fluent in C++', I'd recommend you to just go and pick a graphics engine for C++, What graphics engine (or library so to speak)?, that's another story my friend, because it all depends on your needs :)
I recommend you to visit the Game Programming Wiki at:
gpwiki.org
, you'll certainly find lots of examples and a more technical (and much more detailed) guide to what I just said above.
Reply:for a 2d rpg game, C++ is a great program. Go with what you know. if not that, try visual basic
Reply:Any language that you can do graphics in:
ASM, C, C++, VB, C#, VB.Net, Java, Python, anything pretty much.

Excel 2003 sum function question ...?
I'm a C++ programmer %26amp; have limited experiment in Excel.so I give u an example of what i need to do :
I want a function to sum B2's current value with new A1 value,for example :
cell A1 = 3
I set a function to save this value in B2.so now, I have B2=3
now I change A1 value to 5 (A1=5) %26amp; I want to have : B2=3 + 5 which means B2=8.this has to go as many times as i want
Excel 2003 sum function question ...?
You really need a VBA (Visual Basic for Applications) macro for that. You aren't going to be able to do that with just regular Excel functions because you have to have a way to detect the update and know that the update is to A1.
Instructions:
In Excel, press Alt + F11. In the Visual Basic Editor window go to the Project window and double-click on the worksheet you want it to add like that. Then paste in the following code on the code window that popped up after you double-clicked the worksheet name. I even added some portions to avoid errors, like just in case your user accidentally doesn't put in a number.
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim Msg1 As String, Msg2 As String
Dim MyTitle As String
Dim MsgType
Dim OldValue As Double
Msg1 = "Cell A1 must be a number."
Msg2 = "Cell B2 must be a number."
MyTitle = "Error Message"
MsgType = vbOKOnly + vbExclamation
If Intersect(Target, [A1]) Is Nothing Then
Exit Sub
ElseIf IsNumeric([A1].Value) = False Then
MsgBox Msg1, MsgType, MyTitle
Exit Sub
ElseIf IsNumeric([B2].Value) = False Then
MsgBox Msg2, MsgType, MyTitle
Exit Sub
End If
OldValue = [B2].Value
[B2].Value = OldValue + [A1].Value
End Sub
Reply:You can't have the same cell do two different functions. You should try having it in a different cell, like B3 where B3= B2 + A1.
You can manipulate your new cell much more easily than you can in the same cell.
Reply:Select the cell you want it to appear in and use = SUM(A1+B2)
I think anyway. Been a while.
Reply:One way is to create a user-defined function so that you can trace when a1 was updated. You see, Excel interprets an update as a correction.
Another way is to put your updates on different cells --one update - one cell. Then add these to b2. So, the formula for b2 then would be like = a1+a2+a3+a4+a5......

Is learning assemble a good idea?
is it really a good idea to learn programming in asm ? [Nasm] i m a c++ programmer . i wanna know the profits of learning this language and jobs available and ,why to learn asm .
i m a linux user and wanna start programming in linux
Is learning assemble a good idea?
Assembly language offers huge advantages when it comes to reducing system requirements of a program. Any good C++ programmer would know that.
Reply:It depends upon what you hope it'll do for you. If you want to, say, learn C programming later, then YES, learning assembler will help - for example you'll have no problem in understanding pointers in C. However, if you want to program in Haskell or Prolog later, it's unlikely that learning assembler first will be of any use.
Reply:Unless you want to be a systems programmer you don't need assembler, although having learned it you will better understand what's happening when you write your programs.

PHP , Java or .Net ? which one better and easy for Web Development ?

i am a c++ programmer , i want to know what programming language is easier and more efficient for this matter ???
Java ? PHP ? .Net ?
please tell me what are the advantages/disadvantages that each one of there 3 programming language has . Thankx a lot
PHP , Java or .Net ? which one better and easy for Web Development ?
definitely, PHP. (If you have to choose from these three that is - otherwise, I would have voted for perl).
When you talk about web, and/or text processing, php (or perl) is THE tool for you. Nothing comes close in ease of use, and effectiveness (of both run-time and development).
Several pages of a C++ or java program are usually translated to 2-3 lines of perl or php.
... and no, there are no "security issues", if your server is configured properly. And if it isn't, you've got issues regardless of language. To be viable, security must be provided by the web server, not by application.
Your other choices have their problems.
Java is cumbersome, ineffective, memory hungry, unstable... to name a few. You'd be really much better off with C++ than java, especially, since you already know it. Java doesn't have any advantages over C++, except for some perceived "simplifications", that are really just functional deficiencies - such as luck of memory management options or multiple inheritance.
.NET... hmmm.... hope, you are not serious. All I can say, stay away from micro-soft stuff as much as you can. It can bring nothing but sorrow.
Reply:Well, your situation is a little complicated. Since you are a C++ programmer, the most logical choice for Web development would be .Net; C#, which is fully supported in .Net, is not that different from C++. The problem in this case is that you want to work with MySQL; you will need to host your Web site with a company that provides ASP.Net hosting and supports MySQL, and this is a rare combination. Windows hosting companies usually offer Access or SQL Server, but not MySQL.
If you want to work with MySQL, the best choice is PHP. There are a lot of hosting companies that provide PHP/MySQL hosting (usually, on Linux or FreeBSD), so hosting is extremely inexpensive.
Building high-performance Web applications with Java and MySQL can be problematic. On the one hand, there are known performance issues with MySQL's JDBC drivers. On the other hand, most companies offering JSP hosting use Apache Tomcat for runtime environment, which may lead to another group of performance issues. Friendster, for example, tried to build a social networking site on JSP/Tomcat/MySQL, but ended up throwing away their JSP front-end and replacing it with one written in PHP. Since then, the number of their users has more than tripled, while performance complaints dropped sharply. As a practical matter, most of large JSP sites run their front-end in runtime environments other than Tomcat (JBOSS, PowerTier, WebLogic, WebSphere), and their back-end, on Oracle...

Reply:You're mixing stuff left and right, I think. Java would be easy for you because it's a "relative" of c++ in a remote way. PHP is popular but not so similar to c++. Visual Basic works great server-side. .Net is an environment/framework, not a language. Finally, any web sites will be wrapped in HTML with some CSS and very likely JavaScript or Miscrosoft's (just another) shameless plagiate thereof called "JScript," which, with XML, is the core of the very hot and "in" AJAX, so why not go there while you're at it?
Reply:I prefer Java out of the 3.
PHP has a hack/slash feel that you get from Perl.
Java and .NET (C# to be precise) both have a more structured feel to them. However, Java is FREE to use, with a free IDE to boot. .NET requires you to invest in .NET studio, which costs a fair bundle. Also, Java is extremely stable, being the oldest out of the 3.
Connectivity to Mysql is standard on all 3, Java using JDBC, C# using DAO and PHP using ODBC.
Reply:I haven't used .net for web development, so I can't comment on it, but with PHP and Java:
-PHP is considered less secure by default, you need to add a lot of checks to make sure no one tries to use attacks against your website, however PHP can be made secure and I imagine you need to do some checks with Java as well
-PHP seems to be used more widely than Java, most web hosts have a PHP option if its not included with the package
-PHP is probably more widely used because it may be easier to learn than Java, but since you already know c++, both languages may be simple to learn

When going for a job interview after just graduating college, is it necessary to bring your college transcript
I was already asked my GPA in a phone interview and now i'm going for an in-person interview. By the way, the position is for a C++ programmer. I really hope I don't have to bring my transcript as I do have 2 D's and a few C's
When going for a job interview after just graduating college, is it necessary to bring your college transcript
Most jobs do not require a transcript. A company will request one if needed. Just take your resume, take a back-up in case they misplaced the first one you sent. Just to show you are prepared. Also a list of references on a seperate page. 3-4 references.
Reply:Better to be prepared then say "I don't have it with me."
Have a folder with you with recommendations/papers sectioned out for easy access. That way if they ask for it, you will not have to sort for it and can just hand it to them. This will make you look organized, prepared and through.

Reply:it is not necessary to bring transcript. they know that you're fresh out of college, so they will contact your school if they really want to get one. i think they're more interested in your C++ skill, so if you have some kind of portfolio that illustrate your skill that will be best, something like a student project or website that you had a hand in would be good. remember to thank them for interviewing and drop them a thank you card in the mail box after you walk out of the building.
When going for a job interview after just graduating college, is it necessary to bring your college transcript
Most jobs do not require a transcript. A company will request one if needed. Just take your resume, take a back-up in case they misplaced the first one you sent. Just to show you are prepared. Also a list of references on a seperate page. 3-4 references.
Reply:Better to be prepared then say "I don't have it with me."
Have a folder with you with recommendations/papers sectioned out for easy access. That way if they ask for it, you will not have to sort for it and can just hand it to them. This will make you look organized, prepared and through.

Need held to use xcode on Mac OS X?
I am a somewhat experienced C programmer, but I need a compiler for my programs.
I have a iBook G4 with Mac OS X Version 10.4.8. I have found a compiler on my computer via spotlight. It is a folder called xcode. How do I run it, and use it to compile my C programs?
If needed I can supply more info.
Need held to use xcode on Mac OS X?
If you've got a Developer folder on your hard drive, then Xcode is installed, and you should be able to start XCode.app, create a new project, type some code, and have it complie.
If you just want a command-line compiler, try running 'gcc' in the Terminal command line.
If you don't have XCode.app and gcc properly installed, you can download them from developer.apple.com
Reply:XCode is Apple's big IDE. It's pretty good for developing native OS X apps, especially if you're using the Cocoa framework. However, it's interface has a bit of a learning curve. As an 'Experienced C programmer', you're probably best off using the gnu compiler - if you've ever developed on Unix or Linux, you'll feel right at home. Just pop open /Applications/Utilities/Terminal, and type 'gcc /some/file/path/myProgram.c'
If your only experience is Visual Studios, then you might be better off getting a user friendly IDE (maybe Eclipse, though I hear that sucks for c/c++).

Some Likes and Don't Likes: What is the Best Career For me? (Need Career Advice)?
Hi Everyone:
I can't figure out what career/job to do for the life of me. I have a list of likes and dislikes from all the jobs I've had in the past, which include: Snowboard Instructor, Waiter, Grocery Store Clerk, Dorm Supervisor, NASA Research Asst, C++ Programmer, Java Programmer, International Sales (Europe), Mate on a Megayacht, Owner of 17 Person Software Company in Manhattan, Owner/Worker @ Bed and Breakfast.
I live by the ocean (Atlantic) and I'm not willing to move inland I have a BS in Physics. Does anyone know, given the following list, what career might be best?
Likes: Marketing, Inventing/Creating, Efficiency, Flexible Schedule, Varied Tasks, Balance of Computer and Real Life, Solving Problems, Mental Challenge, Learning, Nice Scenery/Air, Being Me (not fake), Working Close to Home, Doing Unorthodox Things
Dislikes: Dealing Heavily With People, Commuting, Structure, Collections, Schedules, Worrying About Employees, Competition, Dressing Up, Acting Fake

You sound like an introvert. With a degree in Physics, have you considered consulting as a profession? Flexible hours, pick and choose the jobs you want to take, no "boss" to answer to so you can be yourself without having to toe the company line. You may have to travel occasionally to meet with a client. WIth all your listed skills, creating your own website to advertise your skills isn't a stretch. Also, there's no need to limit yourself to one area of expertise, and there are companies out there that act as "agents" for freelancers. Good Luck!
Reply:Wow, how old are you? like 60? Didn't you like any of the things you have already done?
There is a book out there that I read/did right when i got out of college, it might not be applicable to you, but give it a whirl..
It's called "What color is your parachute?" and it helped my focus in a single direction instead of becoming a "jack of all trades and master of none".
It's not for everyone, but it sounds like you are all over the board with various work experience..
Best of luck to you..

The best thing is probably to have a good letter of recommendation, and samples of your coding. Otherwise a lot of internet online classes these days, you should go get some certifications that way if all else fails.

How long does it take to become an ASP.NET Developer?
I was told that it takes years to become a good C# programmer. But if I want to become an ASP%26gt;NET developer how much time should I expect to learn the technology until I can get ready and apply for an entry level position? I know that asp.net use C# but not intensively like a C# programmer.
How long does it take to become an ASP.NET Developer?
It depends on several things like how fast you can get used to the syntax, how fast you can learn datatypes, how fast you can loop, and functions. The biggest grand daddy of them all is understanding Object-Oriented Programming. If you can get a thorough understanding of OOP it's only gonna be a matter of time before you start getting really good. This is where I think a lot of people say the experience kicks, but after you've understood OOP entirely, you can learn everything else easily.
Reply:That depends entirely on you; your study habits, your retention ability, your mental ability to juggle concepts into a coherent pattern. From a year to a lifetime.
I'm not trying to be a wise-acre. There is no way to pin a number on it. You can add up the class hours it'll take to a get a degree in it, but that doesn't mean anything in programming - it'll get your foot in the door. The world is full of educated idiots.

Hey java programmers... can you please help me how to clear the console screen in java. It's the clrscr() in C

you can't clear the console screen in java. i know it's pretty ridiculous, but it's true.

Where can I find dynamic web plug-ins that are C based?
Most programmers are able to use a language such as PHP, ASP, Java, etc... in developing dynamic web pages. However, I'm developing on a very limited embedded platform that has a web server that only supports C-based plug-ins.
An HTML or SSI page can be created with a directive to a plug-in, which is just a C function call. The plug-in can then perform the necessary action. This is cumbersome, of course.
Are there any online resources that have information, examples, sample scripts, tutorials, etc. regarding C-based plug-ins?
Where can I find dynamic web plug-ins that are C based?
You should state the name/company of the actual Web service component that you are using.
Every program defines its architecture for plug-ins and the way they may access context data.
Reply:You can develop your own, in the past all of them were C based. Later on the new languages were created...

Why can't we give instructions to a computer directly in the English language? Why use C, Cobol, Fortan ?
Why can't we humans talk to computers in the natural language like English? Why do we have to use an artificial language like Cobol, Fortran, C, C++ or Java ? Why can't we give instructions in the English language we speak everyday ?
If we already have a language like English, why did Dennis Ritchie do the painstaking work of developing a new language called C, building a translator (compiler) for C, and also make all of us learn these new languages ? What is the specific reason? All you programmers and computer scientists, put on your thinking caps and start thinking!
Why can't we give instructions to a computer directly in the English language? Why use C, Cobol, Fortan ?
We don't need to put on the thinking caps and figure this out. The answer is obvious to any scientist/mathematician. English in particular is not based on logic. It is completely nonsense and illogical. There are no universal rules.
Explanation - spoken languages in general throughout human history are invented, used, and then evolve according to need. They are not systematically invented and then modified. All the spoken languages are like that but English in particular is not very coherent and stable. For example, if I gave you a singular noun, how do you find its plural?
Do you just add a -s at the end (star =%26gt; stars)?
Do you change the last letter and then add -es at the end (knife =%26gt; knives)?
Do you add -ia at the end (medium =%26gt; media)?
Do you add -i at the end (syllabus =%26gt; syllabi)?
Or do you leave it the same (fish =%26gt; fish)?
If there are multiple rules, how do you determine where to use which rule?
What about spelling rules? They make no sense? Why i before e except after c? What is so special about c? Why must u always come after q?
The rules for negation and the past tense for verbs work the same way. If I give you a verb, how do you find its past tense?
Do you just add a -t at the end (spend =%26gt; spent)?
Do you add -ed at the end (learn =%26gt; learned)?
Does it stay the same (set =%26gt; set)?
Does it completely change the spelling (do =%26gt; did)?
What about the meaning of the words? The words mean something but then when I put them together, they mean entirely something else. Why do we drive in a parkway and then park in a drive way?
How would explain to a machine the concept of idioms and expressions? How would you explain that words have more than one meaning? How do you know when a word means what it does?
How can I chop down a tree and then chop it up?
How can you be too close to the door to close it?
Can you really bend over backwards if I ask you to do something difficult?
How can you polish the Polish furniture?
And the fact is obvious when you observe a complete foreigner trying to master English. There are too many rules and then there are more exceptions than the rules. The rules don't even make sense. They are not even consistent.
Isn't it just easier (and more logical and sensible) to invent a whole new language that makes sense and can be taught easily to someone or something else? It will make perfect sense to a machine. In C++, the word main means one and only one thing. It will never be confused whether the programmer means a "main course" or "might and main" or "mainland".
You should study English a bit more and see what a poor language it is.
Reply:Computer are really idiots. They only understand two things : 0 and 1.
So you have to use instructions to make computer understand what you want it to do.
C, C++, and other computing langages are used to simplify orders.
Using human language ? You'll have to make a computing language which translates english, spanish, chinese (1st language spoken with more than 1 billion people), french, german, so around 200 differents languages.

HOW would you make a machine to understand "that" kind of language?
Give me C anytime!
(MAYBE, if, instead of learning English, French, German or any other language, we were all speaking "C", we could express ourselves better and be understood by anyone...)
Reply:Because computers (digital computer, that we use now) don't understand anything without 0 and 1. What we write write in c, c++ or any language are converted to this binary format. 0 means low and 1 means high. Example: If we give input as 25, it will converted to 11001 before it reach to computer
Reply:what you're describing is artificial inteligence.
programming languages are only called languages because there was no better word. they're not the same as languages like english. english is enterpretted by our brains. current computers have the intelligence of a goldfish. right now it would be impossible to convert english to binary. if you look at some code it's not describing what to do, it's a set of commands. these commands correspond to binary opperations like addition, subtraction, storing files, etc. by comparison to english, c is very primative and simple.

Visual Basic and C++?
wich one of these Visual Basic 6.0 or Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition is better for a beginner and why. And which one of these is widely use by today's game programmers.
Visual Basic and C++?
I agree, C++ is one of the most difficult languages to master. On the other hand, once you get even decent with C++, everything else is a joke.
If you are just starting to learn how to program, the goal is to first learn good structural program, which you can do in any language. I always recommend people just start with JavaScript (not Java) since they have everything they need to get started (no need to buy anything). You can learn the concepts of structured program and even OO using JavaScript. You can create GUIs in combination with HTML, CSS, and DOM (what unfortunately is referred to as DHTML).
Good JS programmers can even make games. You can even do simple network programming using JavaScript. What more could you ask for...
Reply:whoa whoa whoa
if you are just getting into programming i would recommend VB6, c++ is too complicated for beginner i tried starting with c++ as my first language but after a month i lost hope.
Also a brilliant language to learn as a beginner is python www.python.org
This just my opinion but I think python is the best choice
Reply:if you are a true begginer and you want to enter the game programming world... possibly it would be better to use c++, reason, because although VB is even more widely used, it has not much graphics capabilities, VB is more for administrative tasks, also VBA whichis a subset of VB is the macro languaje for microsoft office, but still, no animation capabilities included...
also, if you really get to know how to program in C++, you willbe able to learn anything...
another option is ActionScript from macromedia flash, that is what programmers use for flash Games... I would probably start with that...

The best way to learn c++?
Ive tried several times to teach myself c++ and I start out strong but get frustrated when dealing with more complex topics especially pointers, working with data, classes, and other stuff. I feel like I need someone who knows what theyre doing to talk to when I get frustrated. plus I'd like someone to give me tasks that Im capable of coding. I don't know any programmers so this is frustrating. i really feel i need to talk to someone rather than post on a message board, is there anything out there that i could use?? aside from college.
The best way to learn c++?
Best way is to have an older brother who has learned.
Second best way is take a class.
Third best way is use a book.
Fourth best way are online tutorials.
Fifth best way is just fool around and figure it out (good luck)
The WORST way is go asking on Yahoo answers for help.
Reply:Why do you say "aside from college?" You don't have to go to four years of college to learn C++. I learned it by taking a single class at a local community college.
In my opinion that's way better than taking some seminar, or trying to learn it from a "Teach yourself C++" book.
Community college courses are typically very cheap and offer night courses so that you can go when you already have a job.
Reply:You might be too frustrated for my suggestion, but I highly recommend "For Dummies" books on C and C++. They explain it in a non-technical manner but you still get the details you need, and they have lots of examples and exercises.
Reply:I know learning a language can be frustrating, especially when you don't have any challenges. I have been there!
In my opinion, try surfing the web and finding different problems, especially programming problems, and questions, and try to code them in C++. I did that, and it really helped me.
For example, I will try to code a program that creates stacks, in the form of linked lists! Then, I will push, pop, is_emp() etc. This will really keep the ball rolling.
Hope this helps, and Good Luck!

Making a GUI in C++?
I'm a beginner in C++ and I am currently taking a intro class for my computer engineering degree. We just got into pointers and classes so I guess that's still the intro stage. My question is for you advanced programmers out is what is there to learn after you master the basics like after classes, arrays, pointers ect? What are more topics to learn? I want to learn how to make a windows GUI like where you click "ok" "exit" ect. like a visual basic sort of program using C++. How would you learn that? Is there any good online resource or book I can buy? This is still far off from my skills but it never hurts to look ahead.
Making a GUI in C++?
You should definitely learn the Windows API before you start making GUIs with .NET or a GUI builder. If you go right in and do them like in VB, you won't learn that much (and if you have the curiosity to look ahead, I'll assume you probably want to really learn what you're doing).
It's very hard, and it takes a lot of code to even bring up a window. You have to learn a little about how windows works under the hood.
With that said, when you get a solid grasp of C++, read this tutorial. http://www.winprog.org/tutorial/start.ht... This tutorial is for the C language, not C++, but everything is pretty much the same, and when you get to the level where you can understand what's going on, that aspect shouldn't be a problem.
Good luck!
Reply:Learn Win32 API - it gives you full power to create anything you want in Windows. It is a bit complicated though. Gonna take you ~60-70 lines of code just to display "Hello World" but it is worth it. The one and only book you need is "Programming Windows 5th edition" by Charles Petzold.
Your other option is to learn C# and use .NET to create GUI's. Oh, and one more thing, stay away from MFC (Microsoft Foundation Classes)!

C++ Beginner! Just a tiny question!?
ok, you experienced programmers... dont laugh at me! my programing experence stopped when my commodore 64 broke! I have chose to take this last week before christmas and teach myself as much about c++ as possible. Today is my first day and I am stumped on a point in chapter 3 of my book dealing with loops.I understand the loops but i am just experimenting and trying to make a program different than the tutorial. All I want to do is output 2 variables on the same line.
cout %26lt;%26lt;first variable%26lt;%26lt; %26lt;%26lt;then the second variable%26lt;%26lt;;
get my point?
Also id like to know how to do this..
cout %26lt;%26lt;"some text"%26lt;%26lt;first variable%26lt;%26lt; %26lt;%26lt;"some text"%26lt;%26lt; %26lt;%26lt;then the second variable%26lt;%26lt;"some text";
here is my code
#include %26lt;iostream%26gt;
using namespace std;
int main()
{
int y=0;
for (int x=1;x%26lt;4097;x=x*2) {
y=y++;
cout%26lt;%26lt;y%26lt;%26lt; %26lt;%26lt;x%26lt;%26lt;endl; //%26lt;----- Problem Line!
}
cin.get();
return 1;
}
/* Output sould look like this
1 1
2 2
3 4
4 8
5 16
etc...*/
Any advice appreciated! Thanks
C++ Beginner! Just a tiny question!?
There should only be one %26lt;%26lt;. You put 2 that causes an error.
If you want to add text its the same as what you did above. Like this: cout %26lt;%26lt; "text" %26lt;%26lt; x %26lt;%26lt; endl;
Just enclose the text in double quotation marks and they will display as text.
Note: endl is end line or new line equivalent to \n in C.
use return 0 to notify the OS that the program is successfully executed. Usually the compiler will return 0 automatically when it reaches the closing bracket of main. Return 1 is used to return the number 1 to the operating system so it is not necessary and useless.
Reply:cout %26lt;%26lt; y %26lt;%26lt; x %26lt;%26lt; endl.
You got too many %26lt;%26lt;'s
Reply:int main()
you defined your main program to return an int
value, that is why your compiler is "complaining".. ^^
i don't know if it you change it to "void main()",
and delete the "return 1;" will work..
btw, im using code::blocks. it's free and more
compliant to standard C/C++, i guess.. ^_^v
btw, you should not be using "return 1;"..
it should be "return 0;", coz any number
returned by a console program to the os %26gt; 0
is interpreted(by the OS) as error value..
peace out.. ^_^v

How long will it take to learn C#?
I m 24, looking to change career to software, after 4 years in electrical Industry.I know C and C++ to some extent. My friends suggested me to learn .NET %26amp;C#, which shows lot of growth in software development, instead of J2EE %26amp; J2ME, which they said has lot of programmers,also market demand is getting low. Will i be able to join a software company in 5 months after learning C#? Am I too ambitous or in Dream World or in Reality?
How long will it take to learn C#?
Since you know C and C++, you'll be able to pick up the C# syntax quickly and easily, in a few days or weeks.
The part that takes much longer is learning the .NET Framework, which is essentially a vast library that's available to all .NET languages. You'll find that coding in any .NET language is 20% about knowing the language and 80% about knowing the Framework.
The Framework is so enormous that I doubt anyone has a large part of it at their fingertips. They have to look things up, and Visual Studio .NET makes this pretty easy to do. However, you do have to know where to look and something about what you're looking for.
So dig into the .NET Framework documentation. Find out how it's organized, what the major parts of the Framework are and how they're used.
It will be a years-long study to get truly fluent with it, but can you be productive after 5 months? Sure. Read the documentation and read lots of sample code, making sure that you understand it. You'll do fine.
Reply:It depends on anything such as your favorite of C#, your faculty , and also on your mind and IQ.
But do not worry ,it is so easy to learn ,user friendly language.
When you are coding via c# you will enjoy yourself.
Just choose your goal and go ahead,nothing could stop you.
Reply:I can't tell you how long it will take to learn a new language - it varies from person to person, and from class to class. But you'll need to know more than just a language. At a minimum, I'd say you'll need to know about operating systems, data organization, technical writing, several languages (sql and html come to mind), and more. You won't be able to join a softward company after just 5 months. I'd investigate the local community college or university, and see about enrolling in their IT program. Maybe in 2 years you can look for a programming job.
Reply:Since you don't know c %26amp; C++ too well , it will take you probably a good 2 years to be comfortable with C#.
Reply:I expect you could learn it well enough to get by, but you wouldn't be the most knowledgeable programmer in the language... compared to other candidates for the job your skills would look child-like. Also, it's hard to get qualified in 5 months - employers tend to prefer it if you can _prove_ you can do the job in question...
Reply:400 Hours, plus Tax, and tutor time :-)

C++ - How do i read/write text file in C++ programming??
Hi,
I was wondering if any programmers can help me out.
I am currently a student who is required to do a small project.
and one of the requirements is to read/write text file using C++ programming.
so, was wondering if anyone can help me out here....
is it possible for me to read in the text file and store every word in a array?
Like if my text file contains ::
John 14 Student
Peter 26 Engineer
Tom 20 Teacher
and i want to store them in the program like::
name[0]=john
age[0]=14
job[0]=Student
name[1]=Peter
age[1]=26
job[1]=Engineer
name[2]=Tom
age[2]=20
job[2]=Teacher
and to write them back into the text file...
haha is it possible??
hope someone can help ^^
thanks

C++ - How do i read/write text file in C++ programming??
Yes, its very possible. First you need to #include %26lt;fstream%26gt;
then declare an input and output file object like this
ifstream = inputFile; //input file
ofstream = outputFile; //output file
//declare the path of the file to be read
inputFile.open("%26lt;complete path to file%26gt;"); //path c:\text.txt
outputFile.open("%26lt;complete path to file%26gt;");
//then to read from the input file
inputFile %26gt;%26gt; //any variable can be put here, the inputFile %26gt;%26gt; works just like the cin %26gt;%26gt;
//then you can write back to the output file the same way
outputFile %26lt;%26lt; //whatever you want to output, it works just like cout %26lt;%26lt;
//of course this is just pseudo code but you could easily make it work with arrays by adding a for loop. for easier debugging, write the program first with all cin %26gt;%26gt; and cout %26lt;%26lt; statements. once it works that way, replace all the cin %26gt;%26gt; with intputFile %26gt;%26gt; and cout %26lt;%26lt; with outputFile %26lt;%26lt;
//one last thing make sure to close both files when you are done with them
inputFile.close();
outputFile.close();
//its just that simple! happy coding.
Reply:Surely, you can use C++ streams: operators '%26gt;%26gt;' and '%26lt;%26lt;' to write to and read from the file.
Though i write in C++ for a long time, for file input/output i still prefer good old plain C read/write and fscanf/fprintf. You can use any of these two pairs with the same result.

Why is java and c++ so hard and visual basic so easy?
I read in a dummies book that VB is easy because it is targeted to everybody and for maximum productivity and rapid application s development.
On the other hand Java and C++ or the Cs languages are for professional developers or programmers. They are hard because it is a way to keep their job secure.
What do you think ?
Please share your views and opinions
Why is java and c++ so hard and visual basic so easy?
as you read, it's a matter of targetting for particular
needs. VB is easy to start learning, easy to quickly write some code, but very hard to create a complex system with it. This is because VB does not include concepts for helping software to scale up.
It is these concepts for scaling up that delay your
learning in languages like java and c++. Initially, when
you start learning, -especially if java or c++ are your
first programming languages-, you can not grasp the need for them and it feels confusing.
The opinion that says the are hard because it's a way to keep jobs secure, clearly can not be taken seriously. In our super competitive world there are no such conspiracies. If any company invents a software system that replaces programmers, have no doubt, they will market it as aggressively as possible to eradicate programming from the face of the earth.
Learning a programming language is fairly easy. And once you done it few times it gets much easier. Writing programs with the language you just learned is a different matter.
Every programming language usually lends itself to particular tasks. So, for an office component it makes sense using VB. For a server component, or for a experimental large scale system it makes sense using java.
For an embedded, real time system, or even for a game it makes sense using c or c++.

Reply:It is because you haven't beenable to realize how C++ or Java works.
First try to learn something about object oriented programming.
Indeed developing real life application using Java is much easier using object oriented appraoch.
Personally I have found Java to be easiest language becuse all of its ideas are crystal clear.
Reading a good book on object orientation and Java will make you say same as me.

Nothing is complex in these languages if you know how to process your data and know the behaviours of the CPU. It feels a bit hard to program on these languages becuase you are unaware of the processes a CPU undergoes while the C, C++ or Java program is running
So go get a good book on C, C++ and Java and try to understand what the CPU does when your program is executing.
Reply:Its not hard. C/C++ is logical but definetely not hard. On the other hand VB is not at all logical and it is plain boring. You can do lots of cool stuff in C/C++ which is not possible in VB. So it has got more features than VB.
Reply:c and c++ were actually pretty easy for everyone in my class. Java on the other hand was near immpossible. I took a little vb and it is alot like c, so it was really easy.

Reply:you can do almost everything in C++! Java is just a eassier version of C.
C++ was origionaly C (but has improvements) and C was made to beable to do anything!
VB is eassy to learn because it is very slow, and cant do nearly as much as java or C++!
On the other hand Java and C++ or the Cs languages are for professional developers or programmers. They are hard because it is a way to keep their job secure.
What do you think ?
Please share your views and opinions
Why is java and c++ so hard and visual basic so easy?
as you read, it's a matter of targetting for particular
needs. VB is easy to start learning, easy to quickly write some code, but very hard to create a complex system with it. This is because VB does not include concepts for helping software to scale up.
It is these concepts for scaling up that delay your
learning in languages like java and c++. Initially, when
you start learning, -especially if java or c++ are your
first programming languages-, you can not grasp the need for them and it feels confusing.
The opinion that says the are hard because it's a way to keep jobs secure, clearly can not be taken seriously. In our super competitive world there are no such conspiracies. If any company invents a software system that replaces programmers, have no doubt, they will market it as aggressively as possible to eradicate programming from the face of the earth.
Learning a programming language is fairly easy. And once you done it few times it gets much easier. Writing programs with the language you just learned is a different matter.
Every programming language usually lends itself to particular tasks. So, for an office component it makes sense using VB. For a server component, or for a experimental large scale system it makes sense using java.
For an embedded, real time system, or even for a game it makes sense using c or c++.

TO all programmers out there pls tell me the comparison of C# and Vb in their 7 attributes?
Which particular 7 attributes?
TO all programmers out there pls tell me the comparison of C# and Vb in their 7 attributes?
Interesting questions.
1.) Clarity, Simplicity and Unity
C# is clearer than VB and also simpler.
2.) Orthogonality
Means: being able to combine everything with everything. For instance, if I use generics like List%26lt;T%26gt;, then %26lt;T%26gt; could be anything. Every operation defined for Lists should work on lists of whatever type. Both languages score OK, though generics is much easier to write in C#
3.) Naturalness for the application
Some people find vb .net natural for simple forms and web sites.
4.) Support for abstraction
The concept of classes is equally well implemented in C# and vb .net.
5.) Ease of program verification
6.) Programming environment
Onve version of Visual Studio supports C#, VB .net, J#, C++ and more net languages.
7.) Probability of programs
Do you mean portability? Vb .net and C# are currently only implemented on Microsoft operating system. The Mono project is trying to implement the Net runtime on Linux, Mac operating systems. That would mean real portability.
8.) Cost of use
You can download a free version of Visual Studio Express. For serious work on complex systems you may want to buy the Professional version.

Is "Visual C++ 2008 Express Edition" permanent or temporary ??
Hi guys, this is a question for the programmers out there.
I just downloaded and installed "Visual C++ 2008 Express Ed" from their website:
http://www.microsoft.com/express/vc/
Does this Express Edition expire or is permanent on my computer, (does it expire after a few months) ?
Their quote is "Free, but limited editions of Visual Studio 2005 for a single programming language supported by .NET."
What does that mean? Does it mean for a limited time or does that mean something else?
[ I'm just worried that someday I'll get an error message like, "Sorry, this Visual C++ Edition has expired". ]
Is "Visual C++ 2008 Express Edition" permanent or temporary ??
it is permanent but you should use something like code::blocks because microsoft is eeeevil
Reply:The Express editions are totally free but you have to register them with Microsoft within 30 days of installing the product.
Each copy of Express only supports one programming language, but there is no reason why you can't download and install all Express products.
Reply:Hi there,
No, your cool, it is free. The express editions supposed to have slightly limited functionality, as with the express edition of SQL server, its free but limits the databases to a certain amount of gig (i think its 2 or 4 gig). So most individual programmers would never know they are limited. So enjoy!

Programmers only?
I used to be an excellent C++ programmer 11 years ago. Through several company buy outs I had to go into sales, training on software and be an account manager for several hospitals on our system. I am very analytical and want to get back in the field. My brain gets board doing anything else. What do I need to do to get back there? I haven’t really worked for 2 yrs due to the death of my 23 yr old daughter and having had to do the other positions what do I do? I’m also waiting to look for a job since I’m moving from the mid-west to CA. Any suggestions would be helpful.

If you are looking for a career change and you have the financial resources, how about returning to school for an MBA in Professional Accounting? I hear Auditing is in great demand right now, with all the corporate scandals going on and Sarbanes-Oxley legislation. I hear they have 14-month programs, at the end of which you are eligible to sit for the CPA exam.
Reply:Well a lot of companies still looking for good C++ programmers, mostly in Windows - Microsoft VC++ or C#
You may want to consider learning other languages too such as Java, VB.NET, J#, Python...
Reply:Yeah... re-educate, do some sort of bridge or higher learning thing, then future employers will see that you have a wealth of knowledge rather than sound washed up.
Reply:Retrain in C#.net...
Very similar to old C++ design, but more modern and 'the way of the future' (for want of a better analogy)...
Purchase a good basic C#.net 2.0 book from Amazon, start at the most basic... You'll catch up in no time... Just work on a little bit each day.
After you've caught up, take a few small contract jobs over the net to build up a small portfolio of projects and then apply for full time positions.

How do programmers use math to create stuff. I know C++ and I am good at Math and I can't find ways to put
it all together. DO they programmers think first on paper with math. Please help me. Just show me how they can be combine. Thank u

Logic is required for solving any problem.
In the process of deciding the flow of the program u decide the logic and then put that flow in your program.
It'll come by little practice. Make 10 programs by yourself and u'll find everything falling in place.
Reply:you need to use and exercise creative powers
and innovative thinking.
Reply:they have to think about the logic of the programs. Most logics involve maths. for examples you need maths to iterate through a list to get the data you might want. so most programmers work out the logic flow on paper first before they start the actually coding on the computer.
Reply:I read a book about famous hackers (good sense hackers) like Linus Torvalds and he said that he doesn't usually write out things on paper. But that's just him. Whatever works for you to organize your ideas. You need to develop your own style.
Reply:In order to put your math skills to work, you must first identify what you would like to accomplish. Remember, programming is done with a purpose, not simply because there is nothing else to do. For instance, you might want to create software to run simulations (e.g. DNA folding, like the folding@home project). You would then identify the process by which such folding takes place. Mathematically, you devise how to perform the necessary calculations. Then you translate those into programmatic functions in a way that is most efficient for a computer to use. So in the end, it depends on what you would like to accomplish--you simply can't apply skills without a goal.
If you're asking for something you can try doing realistically, an old problem that mathematically inclined programmers like to tackle is a prime number generator. This seems like an easy task at first, but making one that works very fast is a great challenge. Try it out. To get you started, here's a horribly inefficient prime number function I made in my first C++ class:
int primeNumberOutput(int params[])
{
int counter = 2,
counter2 = 1,
innerCounter,
primeNumbersCounter = 0,
primeNumbersSum = 0,
primeNumbersExpected = params[0],
factors,
columns = params[1],
columnsWidth = params[2];
do
{
factors = 0;
innerCounter = 1;
do
{
// determines how many factors counter has
if (counter % innerCounter == 0)
factors++;
innerCounter++;
}
while (innerCounter %26lt;= counter);
// following condition determines if a number is prime
if (factors %26lt;= 2)
{
primeNumbersCounter++;
primeNumbersSum += counter;
cout %26lt;%26lt; setw(columnsWidth) %26lt;%26lt; counter;
// next two conditions format the output
if (primeNumbersCounter %26lt; primeNumbersExpected)
cout %26lt;%26lt; ", ";
if (counter2 % columns == 0 %26amp;%26amp;
primeNumbersCounter %26lt; primeNumbersExpected)
cout %26lt;%26lt; endl;
counter2++;
}
counter++;
}
while (primeNumbersCounter %26lt; primeNumbersExpected);
return primeNumbersSum;
}
See if you can improve upon it's design to make it work more efficiently.
