I'm currently a student. I just finished intermediate c#. Wow.

I’m interested in some feedback from the folks out there who have experience with developing software in the corporate environment. I’m talking about organisations whose core business is not technology related and the role of IT and subsequently software developers are considered enabling functions. There are obviously some fundamental d...

Writing documentation is part of programming, and writing well is part of what makes the documentation useful. So, what are some hints or guidelines for good writing in the technical realm? What are some resources (on-line or on dead trees) which might help me to improve my documentation? ...
Hi All. I've been agonizing over a career decision and reached the point where I have to take one of the other. I'd appreciate any community feedback. I'm in my 30s, out of a long time in graduate schools, living in a small city. I got an offer from a nearby company to do QA-related dev (interesting but still QA) during work normal 9-...
I've just had an interesting thought. It has been a while already since some of us have enjoyed the new MVC framework for ASP.NET. We have talked about it, compared them, liked or disliked one or the other at a different point of time, argued about them each protecting his own point of view. Now it is somewhat silent. He who wanted to g...
I'm 41, currently a sys admin for a large-ish company. I graduated in 1989 with a Comp Sci degree, but never took a programming job. What would your advice be if I said I wanted to move into a programming career now? Too old? Naive? I have kept reasonably up to date over the years and know a fair bit of C++ and Java but only used for hob...

I enjoy working as a developer, and want to continue writing code; I could see myself as team leader in the next 5 years, but I have no interest...
After you get old, say past 30 or 40. Can you still keep up with the young coders from your company, those fresh out of school, who can code for 15+ hours on 10 cans of redbulls (most people in Google, Facebook, etc) ? And given the lightning speed with which today's programming frameworks and architectures evolve, can you keep up with t...
My story: I've always enjoyed coding but I only decided recently to pursue a career in IT. So I went and got myself a diploma from a reputable institution. Soon after graduating I found a job as a web developer (front-end and back-end for a single, fairly large project). The contract for this job has now expired, and I'm seeking $ prett...
I just graduated from University with a Computer Science degree. However, I'm having second thoughts about my choice of major. Don't get me wrong - I like programming, I like discussing w/ friends about programming and cool CS concepts and project ideas like video games, I earned high grades, etc... I don't have a job lined up yet though...

Duplicate What is your favorite C++ Interview Question? When I was interviewing for my previous job, I was grilled on C++ questions. I actually liked the intellectual challenge, which made me even more interested in the job. At the end I was eager to start at the company, just to work with all the smart people there ;) ..

Over my few (four) years in my career as a professional software developer, I've participated in very few good software projects. Most of the software projects I participated really suck: the design stinks, no unit testing, unclear requirements that changed all the time, poor management, lack of talented team, waterfall software developm...

I have been working in C#/ASP.NET/ Microsoft for a few years now but I am now starting to enjoy Linux/Rails development. At this point, it is still a hobby. Would it be too difficult get a job doing Rails professionally without taking a huge step backwards? ...
