wtf.... why do children come into it. why do you think you need to do so much overtime..
I don't know who you have been talking to, but I have 4 children and don't do hours and hours of overtime.
look somewhere else for a job. DBA's are especially hard to get hold of, and they keep their secrets close to their hearts, a good DBA is one that doesn't need to do much as they have been pro-active from the start. and everything is working a treat.
please don't get this impression that you have to work your arse off to get anywhere, it really is not true. but also don't think because you have 1 years experience you deserve £50K a year.
it pays well, it is different and fun, it is hard work but not 80 hours per week. you don't have to teach yourself all the time, it totally depends on your own personal preference, I have worked with oracle forms developers who have done oracle forms development for 20 years. it is not my cup of tea, but I am not them.
and on a more personal note, enjoy your children throughout your whole life, not just when they are older.
you need to decide what "YOU" want to do, other people are happy spending 20 years, coding Oracle Forms.. other people feel they need to constantly learn new things..
I said before you need to specialize in something(s), rather than just having a knowledge of all subjects..
It is not a minefield.... I am on my first courses at my company for 10 years, one for Oracle 9ias administration and one for Oracle 9i DBA ( I have been doing DBA for 10 years???!! )
Incidently why do you want to be a java developer, that was originally supposed to be a tidy version of c++, but has gone down the same route now anyway. if you know "How To" program properly the syntax is the only thing that requires learning for a new application.. and why all the required degrees / courses before you apply for a job, if you leave working for much longer you will be demanding 35K for your first job, take a trainee position in a company and make sure you don't get stuck doing testing or something like that be enthusiastic learn the skills to pay the bills, stay late make the programs "better" than required, and work your way up through the company by showing how their existing employees are lazy and irresponsible.
then you will make your own path, oh and don't be frightened, there is no point in "knowing" …
>i have written this program the way my lecturer has teach us. You have my sympathy, your lecturer is a moron and clearly doesn't know enough to be teaching.
you are a funny man, when do you actually help..... :twisted:
I have to agree the romanian girl has spelling problems with the english language, but I had to order my sausage and egg Burger King breakfast three times before the lady knew what I was talking about, this morning and that was in euston london..
also I am shit at english and do not believe it is a core part of writing application code, as most of the books I have read were reference guides. apart from "the story of O" of course....
If you are using bound controls, if I was you don't!! they work for millions of people but you do not have full control, and you learn nothing.
To add to a dropdown list.
Dim db As Database Set db = opendatabase("c:\mydatabase\mydb.mdb") Set mRs = db.openRecordset("select myField from myTable order by myField") Do While Not mRs.EOF Combo1.AddItem mRs("myField").Value mRs.movenext Loop
obviously do not open a database connection everytime. :)
PS don't forget to add the microsoft DAO object library first in the project references.
I know it may be boring and monotonous but I like the opportunity to create something that (hopefully) works. I know it's frustrating but I enjoy mathematics and problem solving a lot!
I have only found this the case when I have been made to do a task that someone else should do. and totally the wrong attitude to go into a life long commitment, my wife used to say how boring it was and I didn't understand why she thought that, now she has started he own web development soul trader business because she loves writing simple web sites in dreamweaver,fireworks and flash (arhhhh - I hate dreamweaver why create a 2000 line HTML mess when you can write a lovely little equivant page using DHTML and XML)
I had half an apprenticeship at BAe when I left school at 17 (1988), made a big mistake and took more money elsewhere. ended up unemployed and in 1994 took 9k as a trainee programmer, still at the same company. if you get a proper job expect absolute rubbish pay for a year or so, and don't compare yourself after a year to the guy next to you earning £45K, it might seem like it is only because he has been there for 10 years, but there is a lot of knowledge and experience there.
I think graduates usually get about 16K starting, do that but make sure the company is small enough for you to have …
>pliz clarify this:is C++ dying or what coz this is the lang. am specialising in. No, C++ is not dying and anyone who says it is is very confused.
You have to remember you can virtually do anything possible in windows using c++, one comment I will have about it is, do expect there to be a correct standard, read several approaches from books and create your own prefered methods as there are so many different ways to get to the final result.
and also get a book on ATL and write some nifty little com dll's, then you can encapsulate all of the business logic in a tiny little binary, and the trainee VB, and Web Developers who don't understand databases can knock out their apps in no time at all. ;)
I totally agree with your comments about this site.
If you are looking at money you need to specialize in something and make yourself "required". It is quite difficult to walk out of 2 years experience and fetch 50K-60K. I taught myself vc6++, and ATL for writing webserver components, they are by far my prefered method of programming, partly because I am the only one in the company who understands what I am doing, and they are efficient I have done some webservices and mini sites with .NET, and think that basically anyone can do this. when looking at c++ jobs they don't seem that well paid, but if you get "financial" experience behind you, it doubles your high paid opportunities. you have to remember that it is the experience of programming methods and skills which makes the difference a new language is just different syntax.
perhaps you should look into DBA, they are a lot more specialized and where a company may have 20 developers perhaps only 2 DBA's, making them a little more valuable, and if one leaves you are the only one left. Of course you will drop most of your developing tasks, which is a shame if you enjoy it.
Good Luck - And make sure you pick a job you enjoy over a couple extra thousand pounds, else you will become like the littlest hobo and never stay long enough in the same company to make a career out of it.
One of my previous applications logged people silently into an oracle web solution using apache with mod_plsql, since the microsoft patch http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;834489 this has not been possible, I have spoken to oracle and they have suggested the registry entry amendment supplied by microsoft which solves the problem but not every client can do this, after more discussion mod_rewrite was suggested. but after reading the two documents the reference and guide, I still do not know any whether this is possible.
can anyone give me any pointers as to whether mod_Rewrite can turn something like this
