Volunteer on some projects (open source, community websites, etc) and build up your experience. Some places that I have interviewed like that I wrote articles for CP and others liked that I did .NET researching on the side for my own projects too.

How start programming in an open source project?
I have a Masters degree in computer applications but have not used my programming knowledge/experience in the last couple of years. I want to re-sharpen my skills and think participating in some open source projects would help and be very interesting; but I really don't know where to start.
-- do I just find a project I want to help with? (where do I find one)
-- is there a community for each project that I need to present myself to?
-- if there is a project I'd like to help with, where do I begin?
-- where can I help smaller projects and warm up?
I hope you get the gist of this question, any guidance would be GREATLY appreciate

pick an open source project, actually pick several. Look at it's bug list. Start fixing stuff and submitting it back to be included in the official build. You can find a mess of oss projects of all sizes on sourceforge. The reason for not focusing on a single project is that you're really not going to be able to tell from the outside if the project is actually welcoming newcomers or will simply ignore any submissions from outside an insular clique.

Pete O`Hanlon Doesn't that just tell you everything you need to know about users?

You could look through the projects on sourceforge or codeplex and find one that you might be interested in. If you are interested in gaming, there are some game engines out there that are open source, if you like databases, there are database projects etc.... Look at the bugs for the project and the source and try to fix one. If you can then send in the fix to the owners of the project. If you do that, they might invite you to join them or ask if you want to be a part of it.
If you have a pet project you could always write it and put it up on sourceforge or codeplex. This is a slow way because other people may or may not look at the project or download it at all.
There are sites like topcoder.com[^] that give you little assignments and tests to do to rank you. They also have projects that you can bid on. RentACoder.com[^] is another site where you can do little projects for others. Even if you do not get a bid you can still try to do the project on your own in some cases just to improve your skills.

I'm looking at going into development contracting here in the US. Are there any recommendations for questions to ask the prospective client (having always been a perm employee)?

I have seen a recent survey on this topic (http://www.methodsandtools.com/dynpoll/oldpoll.php?Outsource). Close to 50% are outsourcing programming. What is the situation for your organisation?

i am working on a software... the main purpose is to capture audio and video then send them through network using UDP protocol then the receiver preview it ... so it is a live capture...
i really need the source code .in C# is better. i have searched the articles but found nothing pleas i am running out of time
thanks allot

1. Why is this a work/training issue?
2. You are running out of time. Why do you think that anybody else will write the code for you?
the last thing I want to see is some pasty-faced geek with skin so pale that it's almost translucent trying to bump parts with a partner - John Simmons / outlaw programmer
Deja View - the feeling that you've seen this post before.

Again, this is a programming issue on hand which best fits C# forum and not 'Work and Training Issues'.

The company I work for has introduced Systems Management Server (SMS) with some rather dractonian rules (that have been developed by burocrats with no idea about developers) Is there a fire wall or something I can install on my PC (incidently I'm a contractor and my development PC is my own, not provided by the company) to stop this SMS sillyness? I'm happy to do without internet access etc, all I need to do is publish my web projects to the server occasionally.
Thanks for any pointers, I'm finiding developing in this environment almost imposible, (eg, no run command allowed, no task manager, can't browse files!!!)
My next desperate move is going to be separate PC's on on the net one off, and transfer files with a USB drive (unitl they get disabled!)
Thanks

If you are a skilled Microsoft Visual Studio .Net developer in C# with ASP .Net and you are looking for some freelance work can you please get in touch with me. I need resumes and referrals from any clients you have done work for.
I really need help with stuff and at this point I'd say that your responsibility would be as a "Peer" (note I didn't say employee) and your status would be as a 1099. I think I could keep at least 20 hours a week of work coming your way. I've been told I'm very easy to work with but that I personally work too much. Hence the call for help.
So if you are interested please get your paperwork/resumes in order and get in touch with me.
I'd prefer someone in the U.S. as I think things get sticky once I start sending money across the border. If you are not in the U.S. have worked for companies in the U.S. and understand the complexities involved. Feel free to contact me then. I just don't know what would be involved.
Thanks,
Rex Winn

Hi Rex:
I'm interested in this...do I have a chance?

What means "skilled". I'm very interested, but each time i get a chance to have my way out on Microsoft technologies, i get hired for my mainframe's background.

I've got an offer from this company. I'm hesitating whether to accept this offer because I don't know much about it and i'm not sure whether it's a good company.
Does anybody know it? Could anybody give me some advice?
I appreciate any suggestions and comments.
Regards
Blinda
