Is there any paths?

Examples?

Thanks

Where or how can I get a guide that decribes that?

The appropiate programing language?

The list of technologies that I should learn?

An overview about the computer programming field and its implications

Thanks

And if you really do know enough and you don’t have a job in this economy, then it is likely that you are severly under-representing yourself at the job interview.

That being said, there is a big difference between knowing something (theoretical knowledge) and being able to use it (practical knowledge) … hopefully, you have both types of knowledge

Realizing that you also had to transition to .NET from another language, I can see why you were able to come up with this good bit of advice.

I have also discovered that a lot of Java developers are making the transition to C# because there are similarities between the two programming languages.

For somone coming from PHP to C# or Vice Versa, perhaps the similarities will be harder to pinpoint!

You make a very valid point about practice rather than just learning. I transitioned to .net coming from C++ & Clipper. I am now very proefficient in C# and VB.net. I mostly develop ASP.net application theses and laterly primarily focus on MVC.

I can’t imagine what the learning curve transitioning from Cobol to .net would be like. But if it makes it any easier there is a COBOL compiler for the .net framework out there. At least you can moe across to the .net framework with a language you are familiar with.

I have a good knowledge of programming with .NET entity framework, Microsoft SQL 2008 database and good reporting skills with CR 11.

what are the various courses and skills I need to help me secure a job in such organization.

I will really appreciate it if I can get a reply to my questions as soon as possible.

.NET developers are in-demand, they bill corporate rates and their skills are portable to a number of software developer applications including Moss / Sharepoint, Commerce Server, Office, Databases (SQL Server), etc.

However, there are more .NET Developer Jobs than there are MOSS / Sharepoint jobs because MOSS / Sharepoint are more specialized technical skills.

The implications for your career inlcludes:

1. The numbetr of .NET vs. Moss + SharePoint Jobs available may influence where you live. You may have t6o tracvel more often to fidn the right MOSS Jobs.

2. You may end up working fo rmore companies in a shorter timespane because when a MOSS contract ends, your employer is less likely to have a MOSS job than a .NET job

So, what matters is what you want … more money versus more marketability?

I want to choose a career in development. which laguage should i choose

Thanks and regards

I need advice regarding MOSS as a career in IT.

I have 5 + yrs of exp in .net both in developement and support.

I want a technical counsellor who can answer my questions.

Please i am desparately looking advice.

Thanks and Regards

Thank you very much for the guideline of becoming a

I always dream to be a programmer but i did not know where
to start and what you need to have. Then now i believe that i'm going to heard to my dreams through you.

Personally im interested in Microsoft .NET like what you said that its better than JAVA.

I'm a 21yr old boy interested im technology staff and i really need to keep my minds busy.
