tell us what languages you know and some tips and tricks .. i know C,C++ both are almost the same except the OOPs .. and Java , JSP , and otehr scripting languages like php and javascript. .
Application/Software Development (GUI/Console) C, C++, VC++, Java, Visual Basic 6, Visual Basic .NET Web Development (Client & Server Sides) HTML, XML, JavaScript, JSP, Java Servlets Distributed Computing CORBA, EJB 2.0 Database Management Oracle, MS-Access, PL/SQL, Visual FoxPro, ODBC, JDBC Software Modeling UML And in short, i can say, i have a fair bit of control on JAVA Technologies! C/C++ still in the learning mode(Hehehe) REgards, Zooom..!!
thats great zoom .. . seeing that list i remember a few more i know .. UML, SQl,PLSQL,JDBC, Oracle as a backend software , VC++ that i know ...
C, C++.....and assembly. ...thoroughly ...lil titbits of many other languages but they don't count as "knowing". bout...tips and tricks ...i've got a whole folder dedicated to this stuff ...will take too long to post it.
messed arnd with C a lotttt.. made some games nd stuff in graphics....(wil post them sometime here) aprt frm tht C++, Java, JSP. as erindi put it ...lil titbits of few other languages (VB.Net, 8086 prog, perl, shell prog in linux,..) but they don't count as "knowing".
Java, Pascal, PHP, JavaScript, SQL, Visual Basic, HTML, XML, DHTML, J2ME, Lingo, SVG, mySQL, Access and Oracle (only enough to create a disaster !) UML doesn't count imo if that counts then i can add Flow charts in :

@rabi_sultan: Mate UML(Unified Modelling Language) Designers is a second top-most position available after the Software Architects! It cant be compared with Flow-charts at all! Flow-chart is for logical follow of the Algorithm while UML are actual representation of each component of the software on paper! You may feel its just like an Flow-chart with few set of different diagrams...but when you really sit to represent the whole system at your hand, then you can make out how important & powerful UML is! And mind you, all major companies first put the entire software on paper and then begin its developments! So, if u really wanna shift over.. learn RATIONAL ROSE! Designers using this for UML are highly in demand and best paid too! REgards, Zooom..!!
a person needs basic computer science skills like algorithms design (OOAD etc) problem solving software engineering mthodologies and knowlkedge of one programming language like c c++. thats about it. he then in my opinion can pick up any language in a week.
as jay said OOM is important in todays world .. @rabi .. . UML is'nt flowcharts mate ,it is the representation of a working model of the software on the paper. it is very important nowadays ad most software firms are asking for it . you need to know it to be a software engineer.
i can be a software engineer without using UML its the biggest pile of **** on the planet. I should know i've studied the stupid thing for 4 years at university. Furthermore if you consider UML as a development language you HAVE to consider Flowcharts too. Just saying it isn't shows your ignorance to computer history it wasn't too long ago when mainframes such as the IBM 360 had programs that were designed using a system flow chart which guess the **** what also made the "representation of a working model of the software on a piece of paper" @jay you are correct you learn those things plus program logic and you should be able to pick up ANY language.
flowcharts all they do is just give a general direction that the program is supposed to flow and the control is supposed to flow. it states different conditions that the control may end up in. it does nothing with the object oriented methodologies and the variious classes and other things existing within the system. UML is the most impostant thing before development of a system and if you had studied it carefully you would'tn be saying it to be a pile of ****. Most major companies use it for the development of softwares and depending on the use of this software engg. toold (UML included ) various software companies are graded as level 1-5. level 5 being the best. If u don't employ UML techniques all you get is a measly 1. I am talking about the persent day and not about the time when programs for IBM 360 were designed. UML was'nt developed then Talk to any major software company owner and he'll tell you the importance of UML in todays softawre development world
its ok i should have realised it earlier when i said flowcharts and focus of control charts (which is already a part of UML). I meant to say that Use Cases are a load of crap and thats what i was thinking of Besides I still don't rate UML as the most important thing ever. You will find that its mostly taught to Information Science students of which the majority are not really technically up to scratch. As for the argument of its all OOP nowadays you will find that your wrong. There is heavy use of modularisation and procedural programming that is still going on today.
yeah there is heavy use of procedural programming today but the upcoming technology is that of OOM . Java has brought that turning point .. . and UML is'nt only usecases. . they are only the first step before class diagrams object diagrams , data flow diagrams , activity diagrams and many more. ..
langs i knw hi im quite comfortable in: ASM (80x86 and extended MMX processeors) C/C++ VB, vc++ 6.0 VB.NET, C#, ASP.NET JAVA (mostly mobile gaming) XML webServices and related stuff PROLOG CLIPS currenlty wrking as a sowftware consultant and im recently i earned my MCAD! -Vivek
