When actually working on original code, it feels great. When improving someone elses code, it ranges between horrid and great. When dealing with management and morons who don't know what they're doing, it's hell.
Anyone who thinks he has a better idea of what's good for people than people do is a swine.

Stressed out, tired and overworked!
Having said that I wouldn't think of doing any other type of work. Well, at your age, I wanted play in a band but that never worked out.
Find an area of programming you like and become a subject matter expert in that area. At least you will be doing something you like to do when you find yourself up in the middle of the night chasing the illusive bug that seems to defy logic but in the end [when you track it down]turns out to be very logical after all.

Actually, if you have to think about it is not the right area for you.
The right choice is like how you define beauty; hard to quantify but you know it immediately when you see it.

One reason I chose a carrier in IT is because it changes so rapidly. I did not want to learn everything I was ever going to know about my profession in the first 5 years of working in it. In that respect IT has not disappointed me.
Nothing will be stopping you from re-inventing yourself whenever you feel the need to change. The only difference is that you will not be approaching the new areas with the same enthusiasm that you have now.
I have re-invented myself many times as technology changed over the years. It is a continuing process that will probably continue in computing for the foreseeable future; and well beyond.
So yes, change is possible, but it will be driven by practical reasons.
Go with whatever is exciting to you now because it is much easier to learn [and excel] when doing something you find enjoyable.
Get really good at the things you like now and you will have a solid foundation to build on when, at some future date, you need to investigate an alternative path based on practical reasoning.
In other words don’t get old before your time. Time will eventually catch up and you will be making practical decisions from then on.
I'm on-line therefore I am.

hi
i planned to take up some MiscoSoft certifications. But when i searched at MS website, i learned that not exams were in VC++. All the four exams 70-305, 306, 315, 316 have either VB or VC#. But i work only in VC++ only. So is it that, if we want do these certicications, we need to learn VB or VC# or does VC++ knowlege help?
Why no preference for VC++??  )
thnx,
KAB

Because .net is MS's newest and shiniest toy so they're putting all their effort into it. There is a beta C++.net exam available, but there hasn't been a vanilla c++ track available for some time.
C# has a similar syntax to C++, but no more so than java does so knowing one will only be a limited help in learning the other.

I need some help with an upcomming project. There is a 3rd party application that communicates with it's management tools across 4 different ports. I need something in C# or C++ that basically secures the channel between the client and the server. I just want to secure the channel, not intercept the data if possible. I have no access to the 3rd party app or it's code etc.
I'm looking for some direction for where to look for this type of technology and possibly a contractor to implement this.
Please let me know your thoughs about how to do it or if you have/can implement something like this. If you have done this in the past, please give me an example and an estimate of the cost for you to implement this for me.
Thanks.

If you have access to configure the application's destination server, you could just set it to connect to localhost:{ports} and use an SSH client (like PuTTY) to forward the requests through a secure channel to an SSH server that would then hand off the requests to the management tools server.
I hope that this can help you.

Thanks Curtis. I have full control over both servers. Is there a program out there that can be automated in an install and run like a service so it's seamless to the end users?
|
|

|

Right off hand, I don't know. Let me look around and see if I can find something for you that can automate it.

Thanks. Is this the right forum for this? Would somewhere else be better here? maybe c++? I'm willing to pay for a solution also if it has to be done from scratch.
