Over a year ago, I used to be getting way below what was market (salary) standard for someone with the same experience and skill sets that I had then. I was kinda worried how I would be able to negotiate a salary level that was close to market standard. That would be almost double of what I was...

Thanks again all for showing me possible paths to take on in this.

Thanks all for your input. Denny, i apologize for the wrong use of words about the DBA role. To each his own I guess. I don't like doing support although it is mostly what I do now. I want to get a more active role in database design and development. As for getting involved in db development...

hello! I just wanted to ask if anybody here could point me on how to start on being a database developer? I've been a programmer/analyst for about 9 months now but only had the chance to deal/use databases a few months ago. DB2 in particular. I do simple queries and updates on the db, but...

Hi! Interesting topic so I thought I might post a question of mine too.. hope you don't mind. I've worked as a software engineer for 2 years, full SDLC and all that and worked with different PLs and platforms. It was truly a great learning experience for me. But after the 2 years, i felt that...

I would like to ask if anyone here would know what the career path looks like for a software tester? I've been doing software development work for 2 years now. My position/title is software engineer. Aside from software development and maintenance work, I also do QA jobs (based on CMMi-5)...

Hi! I'm not sure if this is the right forum for this, but the program I wish to create uses mostly functions from the Windows API (I think). So I need sources from tech gurus who know or are more familiar with them =) I wish to create a program that serves as an interface to enable/disable...

Hi! Anybody here know how to check for valid xml tags/pairs? I'm trying to create a program that will check if a particular tag has a start and end tag. If a tag doesn't have a start tag then it gets stripped (actually this is the easy part. =p). Tags written as <tags/> are okay. Thanks...

I think the main reason for the sudden "change" in our company is that it has been getting a lot of projects lately to the point that they've ramped up the number of software engineers and analysts. The population here has doubled (or possibly more) in the last 3 or 4 months. So basically...

Our company is outside U.S. =p Since I have started working (for my present company), I have always been contemplating about the legalities or implications of that bond or how I could possibly get out of it. But I really don't mind it so much now. Especially since the experience and training...

I've been working for my present company for about 15 months now. But just recently, the company implemented a new scheme or strategy to somehow maximize the work output of the staff. What they did is that 2 software engineers will be sharing a PC and then hire more engineers to maximize the...

Thank you all the informative posts you have put in here. Actually, through some more research I have been able to pinpoint the problem. Its with the usage of strncpy. It does not append a null at the end of the new string. That's why I resorted to just using strncat. temp[0]=NULL...

I forgot to mention that I have to do a User-break (Ctrl-Pause) to back to the editor. I'm using Borland C ver 3 I think. Also after I exit Borland and return to windows, I get an unhandled exception error. Thanks

Hello! This is in connection with my post in Borland(Inprise): C++ Builder with the subject "Help with this code, no compile errors." I made some changes on the code and at first it seemed that my problem was solved. However I made some changes to the code to extract some characters from...

The fuction of the codes below is to parse strings from a text file. An example of a string in the input file would be: Entry=1 Name=Archie S. Andrews When I compile the the following codes in either Borland C++ 4.5 or Microsoft Visual C++ 6, I get no errors. However when I try to run them I...

I'm not really sure whether this is the correct forum to post this question but I hope somebody here would be able to help me. My friends and I plan to make a system that uses a fingerprint scanner for security purposes. My question is: Is Visual Basic suitable for such system/software? If...
