Now I don't know the size of your project nor do I know the total time spent on it but based on an average project timeline I would say 500 hours is way too much ... were you "let go" from the company for being this nit-picky?

Your initial post contradicts you being an adult and if your biz was so successful you would be a busy man with no time to respond to my post

I did ... Nish was being real polite but I guess you didn't get the point.

You are an old fart who despises pretty much everything since the 90s ... right?
code-frog wrote: Your second comment hints at your own short-comings.
What shortcomings? Using words like "Negro" and "White Trash" mean I am not a hypocrite ... just because these words are not said in America it doesn't mean they don't call them that in other parts of the world.

After looking at your initial post I don't want to hear back from you again.

I was very tired and exhausted when I made my original post. I had just finished about 6 months of working 100 hour work weeks on a project spanning almost a year that really kicked up in the end.
I left my first post in tact because so many people had read it. I'm going to go remove the stuff about Indian contractors because it's really not applicable. My previous on-site job where the communication was face-to-face is what I was thinking and that simply won't be the case with this.
You seem to have formed several opinions about me all of them wrong and that's fine. I cannot change the way you think. Unfortunately you are on a bender for me and I'm not interested in playing dodge-ball with you. Like you pointed out I do have work to do.
I am not anti-Indian, anti-redneck, anti-anything. I'm very tired, I have to much work and I want to displace it off on people I can trust. If you are at all interested in that feel free to let me know. I'm quite happy to move right past where things are and directly into where things could be. I'm getting ready to launch an advertisement in a local business publication that will likely net a lot more work for me. Of that work I'd like to marshall almost all of it here to the CP consortium that gets formed. I'm hoping that in time other developers/freelancers/consultants will also start to advertise and attract work and we all can stay very happy, very busy and not have to have employees.
I and others have there own web servers and if not on mine then on someone's I'd like to setup version control, multi-project issue-feature management (Developer-side and user-side.) I'd like to have an environment where new people interested in joining can post resume type data, links to their work, etc.. as well as sections where individual projects are scoped out, delegated, delivered, deployed and supported.
Someday adapting VS TEAM SYSTEM might also be kind of fun. The sky is the limit on this and I want to see where it all goes. I'm going to guess you have the tallent/skills/abilities to be part of it and if you are interested just let me know. I deserve (in some ways) the harassment you have provided so far and that harassment has caused me to change my post as I have zero wish to exclude anyone based upon race, religion or gender nor the ability to speak audibly. What if a def individual wanted work? How would I manage that? I couldn't.
So anyway. There's my vision that is growing and changing by the moment.
P.S. - The project was enormous the 500 hours in phone calls were virtual meetings, walk-throughs, functionallity reviews, change reviews and a bunch of other stuff that involved about 30 people traveling constantly in various parts of the world.

Does anyone know if getting a MCTS is worth it? Is it actually recognized?
I know the MCSD's worth dimished with a lot of people get thier certs at school and not having a clue how to program.
Is this test harder and do employers actually recognize this. Or should I save my $1000 and go skiing.

I just read your message because the next link was not working for me in this forum, but I found the MCTS SQL Server exam to be very easy. I have not taken the others yet, because i am going to be skipping them and going straight to the MCPD since I have only one more test to get that one.
I never found the MCSD to be diminished but it also does not show anyone that you know how to do coding either. Interview skills are what can help to get you a job and not just a certification. But it does help to keep you on the list of people to at least talk to on the phone and possibly bring in for an interview. That is what I have seen.

Yeah I do a lot of contracting and I have 10 years experience. And I was wondering how much it actually helped form the top contracts.

I have had quite a few places that were looking for the certifications as a requirement to even be interviewed. Of course my highest paying contract did not really care about it too much. It might have helped to get me an extra buck or two an hour, but not much if any.

Hello,
Me and my friends are students and we thought about a certain idea. If we want to implement it in real life by our own, we would need a lot of money or investors.
Anyway, what I was wondering is what alternatives do we have about making the idea come alive and earning ?
The idea subject is mostly new marketing features through computer technology.
Thanks, Clint

Good luck to you and your friends. Money-wise, try getting investing done through private, such as family and very close friends.

I've been working as a web developer for 2 1/2 years now. It's my first programming job since graduating school and while I was waaaaaay underpaid, it's been great professional experience for me. The time has come however, for me to begin looking for better opportunities (i.e. a higher salary) and I was just wondering what you guys feel is the best set of advanced skills I should be learning before sending out my resume.
Some have said to get into VOIP. Others have said to take some classes dedicated on security programming. I've been given about a half dozen different recomendations so I was just hoping you guys could help me narrow it down to one or two skills that have the brightest future ahead.
My current specialty is .NET programming (both vb.net & c#) but I also know Java & C/C++ pretty well also (plus of course the obvious ones such as ASP, JSP, Javascript, etc).
Any advice you can give me on this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
