Which industries give developers the most room for creativity?
As a developer, have you found that some kinds of companies or industries tend to give you more interesting projects, and more room for creative expression, as opposed to others?

Hi there, Does anyone know if a browser-independent debugger exists... For example I have been using Firebug in Firefox but if the web developers use other browsers - nothing. I was wondering if there is some kind of "global" debugger that can attach to any browser and just debug? Any ideas? ...

It's been a while since I was at university ...

PL/SQL Developer - ignore/limit large data in queries
In PL/SQL Developer v7.1.x, is there way way to ignore large data types in queries or the "Query Data" feature. For example: If you right click on table FOO, and select "Query Data" this will execute a SELECT * FROM FOO. If that table contains BLOB data the query will take a while to complete and temporarily lock up the application. T...
Websphere Integration Developer and nullable types - from WCF
Websphere Integration Developer seems to have a bug with nullable types. To get around it, you need to ensure that all nullable types (including reference types) have a value set. I haven't digged deep in this yet, the problem might be that a null element isn't included at all, and perhaps thus causes it to break, but it'll be easier i...

Firefox extension for total page size?
Does anybody know a good Firefox extension to monitor the total page size, including all supplementary files. I know there is one that monitors the viewstate size in the bottom bar and that's invaluable as an ASP.Net developer, but I wonder it there's one that monitors the entire size--sort of like the Net tab of Firebug. ...
What should a "beginning developer" know about architectures and planning
I've been working with C and C# for ages, I consider myself a "pretty good" programmer, but as has been pointed out many times, programming is only a small facet of software engineering and development. I'm the sole coder for my department but it looks like that is going to begin to change, what I would like to know from the Stackoverfl...
iPhone Developer Program Enrollment taking more than 24 hours?
How long did it take to get through the entire iPhone Developer Program Enrollment process (Activation code, etc)?

Guides to help learn C++ specifically from a C# background
Is there a guide/reference anyone would recommend to pick up C++ specifically if you have strong experience of C#? There are C++ guides, but a lot start with the absolute basics and I feel I've covered a lot with my C# learnings. But the absolute basics may be a good thing and I may be barking up the wrong tree - I imagine some people ...
.NET Application Developer uber Framework
I am looking for recommendations on an application developer framework for Visual Studio. A cursory investigation has identified products such as Strataframe, Mere Mortals, CSLA, Deklarit, xEpressApp, Habanero, Spring.Net, etc. What do you recommend, based on your developer experience? Some of the key requirements are that the framework...
How do you deal with your past programming atrocities?
None of us started off as experts (and most of us still aren't). Sure, we all knew how to write programs in our preferred languages, but writing quality applications and writing syntactically correct programs are two very different things. We work, we learn, we struggle, we keep learning, and eventually we reach that threshold where ot...

Suggestions for a productive hardware setup with excellent virus protection.
This question is a little opinion based, but I think it can be based in fact and I would prefer answers backed up with a link to a reputable company if possible. The problem is at my job, we have "okay" hardware for the developers, laptops running Windows XP (I know) with dual core 2.3 Ghz processor, 2GB of memory and 60 GB hard disk @7...
