Can't believe I don't know the answer to this, but getting late and SO is my only hope of getting some decent sleep ;) So far I know these are not it: assert solver.solveArray(array3) == -1 assert solver.solveArray(array3) == (-1) ...
From the job point of view, what should be the minimal tangible skills (languages, platforms/tools etc.) that an aspiring web programmer must possess? ...
I am trying to switch programming languages. I have ten years experience with the full SDLC. I have been able to get about 1 year experience with C# ASP.NET. With all my other responsibilities for my current job, it would take 4 years to get 2 more years C# ASP.NET experience. So I also need to switch jobs. How does one find an entry le...
I didn't really get into programming until high school, although I wish my parents would have introduced me to it at a young age. What are good ways to start getting kids excited about programming? I've been looking into SmallBasic and KPL as possible starting languages but would like some suggestions. If anyone has general advice or ...
Note: I asked this question in early 2009. A couple of months later, I found a great job. I've previously updated this question with some tips for whoever ends up in a similar situation, and now cleaned it up a little for the benefit of the fresh batch of graduates. Original post: In my early 20s I abandoned a great C++ development c...
I'm assuming I'm not the only one with this question: Every week or so I hear about some new Industry honcho talking about how nobody majors in Computer Science any more, and how there are many more positions available than there are grads to fill them, despite the economy. So where are these entry-level jobs that I keep hearing about ...
I am trying to research the qualities that an entry level candidate should have when trying for a fulltime IT job. Beacuse when I approach some one (I collected good contacts from my friend/relatives) for a job I dont want to simply ask them "Can you give me a fulltime job?" Instead I am planning to explain them the qualities/aspects tha...
I am currently in my senior year at the Citadel, and I am a computer Science Major with a Management Information Systems Minor(totally useless, here atleast!) I have recently put together my resume, and would like to start getting it out and about. Unfortunately I go to school 3000 miles away from my hometown where I will be moving when ...
Hi everyone, I'm graduating in December with an undergrad degree in Applied Mathematics. I'll be venturing out and finding my first programming job soon, but I'm a bit intimidated by the job ads I read. I regularly browse the ads on Dice, Craigslist and Monster, and from what I can tell, I don't have the necessary skills. Most jobs ten...
When interviewing entry level developers, I have used the FizzBuzz question as a type of acid test. Generally, I ask for a solution in pseudo-code or any language of their choice. If someone can't answer this question -- or get reasonably close, the interview generally ends shortly thereafter and we don't progress to more interesting c...
Technology is growing very fast and the most excited field to work for among other jobs. Since there are a lot of fresh graduate students in this years, I think your opinions would help them to look for a job which is the best suitable with the speedy growth of technology now and the future. Thx in advanced. ...
I'm new to stack-overflow but it seem like you people are a bright bunch and have the knowledge that I lack as an almost college grad. I have one semester left and am looking forward to working as a programmer. I started out as a QBasic programmer at the wee age of 9 and made a couple of games that were really buggy but it kept me ente...
I've often heard that when applying for an IT job it's a very good idea to be able to present any programs that you have written to show your potential employer your abilities/accomplishments. What kind of programs do most employers value most? I'm sure that it obviously depends on the type of job that you're applying for, but in general...
