    The right Programming training direction? Any suggestions

    As a programmer for 9 years I beleive some people make C/C++ out to be more complicated than it really is. If you can master C/C++ you can master any language, that's because most languages build upon the C foundation. The only complication some people have are when it comes to pionters. That...

    Is plagiarism a risk to the future of quality programing?

    But isn't programming more than just writing code? If these students decide to cheat their way through school what hope do they have in a landing a successful IT job. Not evreything is cut and paste technology. Sometimes you actually have to do the problem solving and coding to create a final...

    Should I take classes in multiple langs, or focus on a couple only?

    I agree with LFI. You need to pace yourself for now. I’ve been a programmer for 9 yrs now, and am still learning new skills. That’s the only disadvantage to the position. In this field you never stop learning. Keep focused and try not to spread yourself out too much. I’ve personally...

    Should I take classes in multiple langs, or focus on a couple only?

    This really depends on your goals. I first ask you what do you like the most? You could focus on that and become specialized in it. You also want to get a basic understanding of some of the others. This opens you up to other possabilities later on down the road. It really does depend on what...

    Should I get a masters?

    I think it's a necessity in today's technical field. I've been in the technical field for 9 years, and decided a few years back to get my masters in IT Project Management. My reason was so I can become more diversive in my field. With the masters I will be able to either take a...

    The Sky Is Falling

    Yes the outsourcing war is very real. Consider this philosophical point, and compare it to outsourcing. If a tree falls in the forest, and no one is around to hear it does it make a sound? Well the same can be said for outsourcing. If it doesn't exist in your area of the world does it really...

    The one thing people have not mentioned are the holes in Microsoft website. Most hackers love to push Bill to the next level, and see how he responds.
