Yes of course, there's a more professional level of learning just as there is also the probability of more dumb teacher who cant only make a timer but may not even implement 'Hello World' The best thing you can do is to help yourself, and whatever school you find yourself, just ass knowledge to what ever you can acquire
The IT sector to my best of knowledge is independent of age. All what is required of you is to get the job done and done well. I don't know your likes on computer based on areas whether programming or networking or hardware and etc. But i would advice you keep yourself inclined with what you feel you can do best in the IT world. If you feel you can do some repairs, then move on with it and get to the best you can.
The IT sector is also saturated but the fun thing is that its dynamic and things keep changing and improving. There's no end to technology so everyone is welcome on board. All that is required of you is to KNOW YOUR STUFF
I would rather advice you become a professional in C# first. With this, you can create good console, windows and web applications(all in one) using the same language. It would also give you some experience with other languages you may want to interface your applications with.
i am asking about functions not about auto_generate_id() it may be blank or other function.
You have not explicitly stated what you want. From your codes, you're retrieving the staff_id in the database and incrementing to make another id. That's good and most vb6.0 developers do that but what if there is no current record. That's why you need to create a random class that would generate ID's independently.
So from this, do you want to learn how to create a function or you want to learn how to generate auto_id that works?
That's more of a test to me. Not sure if you can put two of them without changing names so the best you can do is keep the name but add a suffix Example: HR Document HR Document(1) and so on
So if you don't want to use a database system, what do you intend to use because in all you statements, you mention insert, update, data fetching and others but you never mentioned your alternative for using a database system
Just like you said, all places are different. But if am asked to speak, i would say you can go in for consulting job if you can get your hands on one. I found out that most consultants are people who have the knowledge, but smaller knowledge than the core developers and come to think of it, they are better paid than even the developer.Since you have some knowledge on how things work and with your internship you have gathered some experience, you can give consulting a try and then use the opportunity to keep developing your programming skills until you have the confidence in yourself to solely deal with it.
