Hi there,
While there is are a couple of conversations floating around talking
about becoming a programmer I thought I would also ask some advice from
you wise people.
I have been programming for a while now stating at school with
Pascal, then onto delphi (pretty Pascal), VB.NET (which I found somewhat
inane) and Java in my second have of uni. I have touched on others
like C++, Perl, PHP, JScript while going through uni. I do love
programming (although frustrating sometimes), the buzz of solving and
problem and getting to see what you have created.
I am coming upto (hopefully) graduating uni soon, with a good degree
and I will be looking to become a programmer. My concern is that when I
read conversation and see what some of you people talk about on here,
some of the stuff baffles me.
So I'm wondering what the transition is like going from programming
in education to in the professional world, and is it only the top top
programmers from uni that manage to make it in the real world. Also,
what advice would you give to a fresh graduate looking to get
programming work?
Hopefully my waffle has made some sense
Thanks
