This[^] I found in the news. I think 'goto fail' is the clearst and most understandable code line I have seen in a while.
That reminds me to use goto in a small loop where it can't possibly cause any harm. Ths will give some code Nazi a heart attack and I will have an hour of fun while he tries to find any reason at all why it must be removed.
Or perhaps I will use ' if(SomeBool == true)' a few times for the same effect.

One of those damned if it fails and damned if it succeeds lines of code. In this case, failure isn't just an option; it's mandatory.

What level do you need to be able to use goto in code?
Guess I'm not worthy.

Somehow I would not think that you spend hours debating over cosmetic code changes which make no difference at all.

In any language other than Basic I've never used a goto statement.

What's this[^]?
Did not spend any time sneaking into it, yet. But it seems like there is something in the making, wanna tell us what this something is?

I wouldn't get too excited. I offered to help (Marc Clifton ???) when he started asking API questions and revealed he was doing a reccie for one. That was 2010.

So, we need to offer help again.
@Pete-OHanlon I'm on vacation during June, and apart painting the walls of my from there is nothing set up,yet - Let me know if you got something you want to outsource to Switzerland.

Talking about the latest vote we had here, eh?
That's gonna be a borderline political discussion, but off we go:
We haven't decided against immigration, and we still take people who are protected by human rights - It doesn't change anything about human rights being respected in Switzerland.
The second thing is that we voted to have quotas for people who come to work in Switzerland, instead of the previous model where anyone who got a job contract was able to immigrate to Switzerland. BUT: The quotas are adjusted once every quarter of a year, to fit the economic needs, so it is basically something overly bureaucratic to hold on with the previous status quo - Nothing changes, except that we *theoretically* are able to close our borders for immigrants. I don't really see a problem with the 2nd point, since the US have a far more restrictive model where companies even need to pay [about 100'000 $ a year, IIRC] per contract they make with someone from abroad.
Third point: I think you don't really need to take your parents, grandparents, brothers, sisters and so on with you if you want to work in Switzerland, Kids & Wife should be enough.

No, that was not my point at all, I meant all the fuss going lately in France about people "outsourcing" their money to Switzerland.
About the vote limiting immigration, I think it was necessary and see no harm. If you look at the figures, Switzerland has been letting more than ten times the people that was planned and could be reasonably handled in the last 15 years, so I understand there definitely was a need of regulation...
This was sold in the media as if people living in France and working in Switzerland had to be afraid of loosing their job, but they are not even concerned by the law that has been passed, or that Switzerland had turned xenophobic overnight, which I kind of doubt . But I guess it gave journalists a few good headlines...

Oh. That's an old one, I guess

It's always the same fuss going on about immigration decisions
We had demos by people who are shouting "We are the 49.7%" - Some people never get a realistic view for the things, and most of them are University students who got their parents' money shoven up the a** and never ever had to do actual work. One of them even stated to me that "We wouldn't have that many criminals from abroad if we gave them more money". I'm pretty sure that will work

Yep, I'm not getting too excited either. There are some other things that need to be in place before we get an API. I'm working on getting those sorted out first.

Errr... You are not suppose to see that.
Now someone has to do something to you.
BTW: Interesting discovery!

A man takes his place in the theater, but his seat is too far from the stage.
He whispers to the usher, "This is a mystery, and I have to watch a mystery close up. Get me a better seat, and I'll give you a handsome tip." The usher moves him into the second row, and the man hands the usher a quarter.
The usher looks at the quarter, leans over and whispers, "The wife did it."

I recently graduated with a BS in Information Technology - Network Security emphasis, but I have always enjoyed the courses I took in software development far more than any infrastructure or hardware courses. I would like to enter the industry as an entry level developer but I'm having a hard time since I have little or no commercial experience. Therefore I wonder if anyone in the Code Project community knew of a way I could work on an actual project to gain some skills that I could put on a resume. My current work situation doesn't really allow me to physically be available but I could easily do telecommute type work. Any advice on building some skills and viable experience to put on a resume would be helpful.

You are in the same position we have all found ourselves in after being graduated with a Bachelors Degree.
When I went to university, long before there was anything like an IT degree, we had a saying in the Mathematics Department.
Q - What can you do with a Bachelors in Mathematics.
A - Drive a truck.
It took me 8 months of serious looking before I finally got a job in IT. Many can tell a similar story.
Don't get discouraged. It takes a long time to get your first IT job.
