Hey guys,
I am currently studying in computer science at UofT and sadly due to financial reasons will not be able to partake in the next semester of classes. I do not wish to waste my time nor have a very difficult time finding a job after graduating (or during studies). So I was wondering if you guys could recommend any courses/certificates/book that will help in securing a job?
I would say my knowledge is intermediate in Java, HTML, PHP, MySql, and Python. Those are all that I know. Please do not shut me down I only spent my time modding and not coding as much. I don't count website building cause its not really programming.
Any help is greatly appreciated in advance!

Hey,
The best thing that I can think of is not so much in certifications but more in experience. With the technologies you know you could very easily work on some web development (Not websites but web applications) and with a little bit of research you could make the transition to mobile as well.
I recommend creating a github account and put all of your personal projects onto it. You can also freelance and build a resume that way. With that kind of experience that you can show to potential employers, getting a job would be much easier.
You can also take some courses on here https://www.udacity.com to strengthen your knowledge.
Good luck!

Hi all,
I am interested in getting certified and want advice about what would
be best.
We have not fully switched to VS2005 at my work yet, still running 2003
for almost everything. I have heard that the new certification is much
different; even has a different name! So I guess my first question is,
from a self-marketability stand point, should I aim for MCAD/MCSD
around 1.1 or the new certs around 2.0 ?

Is there any way to make my transcripts of the DB2 certifications
viewable for public ?
Right now only I can view my scores , but I am unable to give an
access to let others view my scores... Is there any thing similar to
brainbench.. where you can make your transcripts as public viewable
Also the bad part with DB2 certifications is , they don't send a Hard
Copy :(
you can take a print out ... but printout doesn't seems genuine

I needed opinions on web certifications. I'm learning overall web/database

I'm not going to school for any of it.
What are your opinions on this? Do I need to go to school for this (I don't
see why...)? Could I get a certification somewhere? If so, where and what

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
