I am working on Vistual Studio since last 10 yrs. Working from VC++ 1.x and
VB 3.x. Currently I am working in VS 6.0, classic ASP, COM, ADO. Today its
called as old technologies. I have very novice++ expereince with .NET.
Recently I appeared for one intvw and that guy just blasted me and FAILED me
.. He asked CAS, threading, App domains, concurrency ADO.NET, and lots of
advanced .NET questions even I have not encountered reading those. I know I
am working on Visual C++, MFC, ATL, VB 6.0 since many years. I can handle
dot net too once the responsbiliitie s come. My currently products are in old
technologies and thats what I sped most of my day working in those
technologies and not getting enough practical exposure to new .NET things...
How should I handle this issue.

if your an MCP in C# ASP.NET (exam 70-315), then his questions should have
been a no brainer to you then. So I'm a little confused.
LOL!
So when I see a cert on a resume, it means absolutely nothing to me these
days.
You are absolutely correct - it's utterly worthless.
I am quite often asked to sit in on technical interviews, and whenever I
come across a CV which is littered with MCPs, I simply ask the candidates
why they have wasted their time with this rubbish instead of gaining
real-world experience...
None of them ever has an answer...
Some people even put their MCP "qualifications " in their newsgroup sigs -
that just makes them look ridiculous...
-- http://www.markrae.net
By the way exam 70-315 does not talk about Reflections, Generics, delegates,
CAS etc.
My case is differnt that just achieving the certification. In Jan 2003 I was
working on a .NET project (ASP.NET 1.0/1.1) that time I was involved wrting
the intranet portal based on IBuySpy. That time I was full time working in
..NET and I just took the exam and passed it with no additional study or
training material because I was practically working on those topics...Now,
after that project I was shifted to another product in our company which was
using classic ASP, COM, ADO etc. So last 3 yrs I am working on old
technologies. This is how I lost my .NET touch. Now, meanwhile .NET 2.0/3.0
has come and as I am not actively working on a .NET project in our company
the learning curve has been slowed down.
I too agree certifications do not help at all. Thats why I dont want to
become MCPD or MCTS or whatever new certifications are.

Companies aren't becoming picky, the mgrs are just noticing that
anyone can get Microsoft certified and yet, never actually worked
with the technology. I myself own a software consulting company and I
had a resume come across my deks. It looked incredible, C++, C#,
.NET, VB.NET, SharePoint, Java, Handheld, etc, then he listed Java
Certified, Microfsoft Certified MCTS. So I was like OK, now this guy
knows what he's doing. WRONG! When I started asking him about general
.NET questions, he got a few not many, but when I started asking some
more advance .NET questions, security, architecture, culture, etc. he
was totally clueless, so I came down a notch and asked about ADO.NET,
ASP.NET, IIS permission, asp.net page flow, web.config file
information, again clueless. Come to find out he just took the test
and never worked in the technology.
So when I see a cert on a resume, it means absolutely nothing to me
these days.
Its just a piece of paper like a college degree. You will never know
how the real world works or what to expect until you experience it
first hand. Yes the degree is good, but do you want an recent college
grad running your fortune 500 company has his first job? Do you want
an freshly new MCTS being your tech lead on a million dollar project
for a client and he has no idea how to even get around the VS.NET ide
or can't even write a line of code ?

Looks little odd to me that by having such expereince and Microsoft certificatio ns one could not believe on my abilities. I too take intvws for candidates from my company but I check only capabilities and not the details about one particular technology. There are lots of things in a product development cycyle that one should be aware of. I have definitely started reading abt .NET but there are lots of new things which is making me slow to learn considering my daily work schedule.
I have worked in C++ MFC threading - CMutex, CSemaphore, CCriticalSecti on and all that. Does this knowledge not sufficient for some one to work in threading in .NET. Are the concepts really changed...? I dont think so.... Looks like companies becoming very aggressive and very picky.

Masudur http://munnacs.110mb.com
The concepts you have repeated throughout your posts, like reflection, generics,
and threading, are not new concepts. They are, however, programming 'buzzwords'
for examinations and managers due to being brought to the forefront with
newer language implementations such as Rails, C#, and Java. In time, these
words will become as 'boring' as class, interface, and inheritance.
The .NET framework is not the first to support these concepts and will not
be the last. Yeah, that's right, something will replace what we're doing
today (heck, there are days that it feels that new methodologies are coming
up before I even get a chance to wrap my arms around the current stuff!--that's
why I like this job!). But in the end, the underlying concepts remain the
same--only implementation changes--whether you're jumpering ad on/off bit
with a wire or doing it using code in some high level programming language;
the logic persists.
Part of being a programmer/developer/architect/whatever is having the understanding
of core computing concepts and design principals and how they apply to a
particular situation--and then apply it. The IDE, syntax, and even the model
can change without consequence at that point. The MSFT tests test functionality
in a certain programming modal--which, agree or disagree, is not what makes
a programmer at the end of the day. Anyone (maybe) can string together syntactical
goo.
If you're really concerned about not falling behind, my suggestion is to
focus on concepts of OOP, design practices, and such--and move forward without
worrying about what environment you're targeting. As Mike suggested a few
posts ago--if you're interested in MSFT, grab the free Express products and
spend some time with them. Create a console app, and then figure out what
it takes to make it into a web application, or a Smartphone application.
If you're more into Open Source, grab VMWare, a Linux distro and load up
Rails. Use your current knowledge as a grounding and go from there.
This is probably both the most difficult concept of learning modern development--figuring
out where to start!
Good luck.

aI thought Microsoft is going to take care of all the technologies and
apeople should concentrate more on their business logics...to me (as a
adeveloper / designer) this looks more work...Learning lots of new
athings and spending so many hours which one will be the best solution
afor longer run. Our products still good with older technologies and
acustomers are very happy we dont see any desire to move to .NET. I
abet there might be many such companies who are happy with older
ainvestments. I can still expedia.com site still good on classic ASP
a(thats what I can see in browser that its still pointing to .asp).
a>
aI even dont have working expereince with Reflection, Generics, App
aDomain, Threading, Code Access Security, Delegates. If I dont learn
athese things asap then it will not take time to become obsolete in
athe market. My 13 yrs expereince will go in vain within no time.
a>
aWhen I will learn these things the job I will get will not use these
athings so again skills will be wasted and by the time new things will
acome up and I will start leaning those. etc etc
a>
aNowadays, I have a gut feeling that software development by
aintroducing new technologies is just another money making business.
aYou come up with new things...people buy books, expensive training
amaterials..all these things are connected...but ultimately customer
asuffers and again big IT budget...

Actually, you're in quite a nice position, because it has never been so easy to learn technology independently, without going to follow an expensive course. The web has so many resources allowing you to learn at home. Choose wisely which technologies you learn, though. Learning Windows Forms (.NET Windows Applications) is not recommended, since this technology will eventually disappear and be replaced by WPF. My recommendatio ns for learning are:
- WPF - WCF - ASP.NET - Silverlight - LINQ - ADO.NET That's a lot already, so take it one step at a time.

IMHO, you can't be expected to keep up with all the changes proposed by corporations like MS, new standards, new tools etc., all the
time, they're too big and profit from continual change.
People who ask questions as if the candidate is an expert at all things current is a pompous jerk with unrealistic expectations.
The reality is, programmers are continually in a "just -in-time" learning efort. Nobody can learn all things and stay proficient in
them because all things aren't used all the time.
Since technologies keep moving there is a just-in-time learning process to get the current best management approach/tools/technology
and then implement them to meet the needs of the customer.
Unless technology stands still there will always be somebody who knows something better than you in some area, and vice versa.
Timing can be an issue for demand of recent technologies but good employers always look for fundamental skills like educational
background, problem solving abilities, good communication, successful work history, etc.

I answered all the questions I know from .NET 1.1 persepective. ADO.NET,
page life cycle, and all those. Except for advance questions I could not
elaborate to the professional extent. I took MCP in 2003. Today is 2007.
Meanwhile in 4 yrs I did not work in .NET. This is the truth. So if you dont
work in the technology obviosuly you tend to forget or loose the capability
to explain someone to the professional extent.
Now, can someone tell me the art of learning the new technologies like MCF,
MPF, Sliverlight, goldenlight, DiamonLlight, WWF etc :)

I have worked in C++ MFC threading - CMutex, CSemaphore, CCriticalSec tion and all that. Does this knowledge not sufficient for some one to work in threading in .NET. Are the concepts really changed... ? I dont think so.... Looks like companies becoming very aggressive and very picky.

I have a customer who is having problems when their Windows
2000/IIS/PHP-based system begins to experience a level of loading that
isn't, in my view, unreasonably high. I'm wondering what others
think, specifically:
- are these volumes, for this kind of configuration, at or beyond the
levels at which PHP should be able to cope? I hope not !
- what might be done to alleviate these problems? One of our
suspicions is that Windows...

My K&R 2nd ed has in the Reference Manual appendix, A7.4.8 sizeof yields
the number of BYTES required to store an object of the type of its operand.
What happens if C is running on a machine that addresses larger words only?
Shouldn't sizeof be defined to return the smallest number of 'storage
units' required to store an object of the type of its operand?
As a general point, is there a guide to what aspects of C would fail if run

Hi folks.
So I'm in the middle of porting a large (previously COM-based) imaging
library to .Net. The clients of this library are VB programmers within the
company I work for. Their code will be getting ported to .Net at some point
in the near future too.
In the .Net world, many of my objects are forced to implement the
IDisposable+Finalizer pattern because they hold onto unmanaged resources or
represent resources where deterministic...

I have a web project called IngenWeb, and now I need to split it into two
versions, production and development, so I want to name them IWebProd and
IWebDev. Given that all the pages have IngenWeb.something in them, how do
you go about maintaining two versions, when the development version will
eventually become production ?

Hello,
I've just spent ages debugging some cookie code that wasn't working, and
have finally discovered that the code *was* working, but that the path
used by cookies is case-sensitive. I was setting a cookie for a path
like "/somepath", and trying to read it on a path like "/SomePath". This
was coming back as a non-set cookie.
So now I know what the problem is, I'm stuck with how to get around it.
In an ideal world, users would only...

Hello,
I am just converting some pages to use master pages, and I have come
across a bit of a problem. One of the pages uses some custom Javascript
functions for client-side validation.
Now, the <head> tag is entirely contained in the master. This means that
I could put the JS functions in the master, but then they would appear
on every page, which I don't want.

Whenever I try to use the FreeSans font with SDL,
either through PyGame or Soya, I get disappointing
results. The characters come out slightly
higglety-pigglety -- randomly displaced up or down

Something about the calculation of the font height
seems to be off, too.
The fonts that come with MacOSX don't have these

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

I am currently learning how to create and manage the different types of VPNs and I have a question about LAN-to-LAN VPNs.
