[who changed the bloody beer icon?]
That went better than expected - round two either tomorrow or early next week, then a faceto--face at the end of next week. If I get through that, they're targeting a New Year start.
BEER!!!

That seems a lot of interviews for being a test pilot for Slumberland.

It's as taste tester for Gordons - there is a lot of competition.

Chris is running out of beer stock in datacenters. Looks like the hamsters started to party every night. Now he's cutting it down for us through small mugs.
btw, Congratulations

That's right, blame some innocent little creature ... I wonder how much gin they drink after an interview?

..Is a software engineer without Web skills?
I call myself a Developer for Microsoft technologies but not knowing Asp.net/ Javascript & the whole lot of words like HTML5 , Knockout, etc etc makes me feel small.
And the most of the job requirements sent to me asks for , .net Framework,C#, WPF, Asp.net-MVC, WCF, . .
Very few ends up with C++/C#,Winforms,WPF,WCF. in particular when it's a combo of C++/C#.
But there's too many jobs pulling C# towards asp.net than towards C++.

A software engineer will use the best languages/tools to get the job done.
I don't think you must know web development to be known a software developer, but I think it's always good to know the basics of stuff that matters.

Yup but there's too many things to cover. I was doing C++ & C# networking & systems development an year ago. Now grasping WPF & WCF for current projects that deals with services & UI. Now when I take a peek into Web it looks a Whole-New-World to me. Asp.net Webforms didn't require anything to be learnt other than sessions and few things specific to the web. But I don't consider Webforms as a true webskill. It was something like people doing "Web" pages with VB6 OCX controls.
Asp.net MVC looks like a real web stuff from MS. Looks like a match for PHP-Zend MVC frameworks that many of my real web dev friends use. I'm trying to set my feet over it. When I do, it'll be "One small step for an MS developer, A giant leap for the Vunikind"

I've only dabbled in CSS and my results look like something from the 90's. I don't get paid to do web development and it's the same with databases, although I've spent time with them I learned enough to know I don't care for them and I am doing fine without them.
It was broke, so I fixed it.

Most job requirements ask for a whole bunch of things they're not actually using. There seems to be a standard list of "stuff to require" that everyone copies.

Unfortunately, that list is all that HR looks at, so you can almost guarantee that CVs from the best candidates for the actual job are dumped in the waste bin before you get to see them.

Totally complete. The web is just a load of wishy-washy nonsense for the unwashed Apple brigade.
Personally I don't go near it. Enterprise Systems - that's what it's about. Not Mickey Mouse HTML.

Quote: Finally, the bizarre "Milk from Nose" is a multiplayer game where you compete against the person who last used the urinal. The strength of your urine streams are compared, and translated into milk spraying out of your nose. If your stream is stronger, your milk-stream knocks your opponent out of the ring
WTF!
