I'm going to ditto Paul Conrad's response. I do not have any horror stories, because my in-office co-workers are as helpful as can be.
My company is located in New York. I worked there for 2 years but wanted to move to Kansas for personal reasons. (I know, I know. "Who moves to Kansas willingly?") When my boss realized that the move was really going to happen, he was very generous in offering me a telecommuting position.
Since then, I have been thrown into the middle of a couple of projects. When that happens, I typically end up spending as much as 3 hours on the phone (spread throughout the day) with my in-office co-worker who is the acting project manager. After the initial hand-off, additional emails, IMs, or phone calls ensue as more questions arise. Never are there complains or attitude from my co-workers. It probably helps that I had 2 years to build up my working relationships with them before I moved. But the point is that the communication is always wide open.
I am also conferenced in to weekly, department-wide status meetings, so I am always aware of the projects other developers are working on, even if I am not involved with the project. Finally, I am also conferenced into our monthly, company-wide meetings. It's hard to hear some people in the room, but the main presenters are the ones closest to the speaker phone, so I get the general idea of where things are at company-wide.
Minus the lack of the face-to-face interaction I used to have, I barely feel like I've left the office. Right now I'm looking at different web conferencing packages that will enable my co-workers and I to interactively share diagrams and things like we used to do as whiteboards. One of my in-office co-workers and I will be making a proposal to my boss sometime down the line when we're confident we've found the right package.
If you don't have a lot of communication, demmand it. You may be a telecommuter, but you're still part of the organization.

Hi,
I have one core application. i made some enhancement over it(by adding new project, new file, new functionalities).
How can i know it's impact on over all core application

Regression testing is the only real way to assess what the impact was. This isn't really a work or training issue though, is it?

Actually i am a developer i don't have much idea on Testing except UNIT TESTING
my client wants me a document which will specify the IMPACT of newly added part on core solution
Now please tell me what are the steps i need to do

Well, regression testing is about comparing how your code behaves now to how it behaved before. The only things that should be different should relate to the changes you made.
Really, you need to think about what you are trying to do and what the code is doing. Try to assess the likely impact of changes by looking at what is going to be affected and seeing what code is actually going to be changed.

I fail to see how this is a "Work and Training" issue...
But, the two can be run side-by-side with no problems. But, you MUST install VB6 FIRST, then you can install any higher version of Visual Studio .NET.

Yes, and why would you want to install VB6. It's been dead for sometime now.

Paul's right. Vista and Server 2008 are the last operating systems that will support the VB6 runtime. We are strongly urging ISVs to migrate to .Net if they still have VB6 products.

Heh. That should've happened at about VB v3.0...

Also, if you're into writing ActiveX components, then VB is an excellent tool for testing purposes. That's the only good use for VB, IMO.

Especially if there's alot of legacy code still floating around out there to be brought up to .NET.

What does this have to do with work and training issues? You are in the wrong forum.

Hi there
This is my first post, first I have to let you know I just start some class on programming language I decide to with C++ because a teacher say C++ is best for a first language
the question is if this site is good for beginner on programming
thanks an advence for your reply

If you are going to be writing operating systems and embedded systems then yes, this is the language I'd learn. If you are not going to be doing those things then there are better languages to learn.
The question is what do you want to do once you learn to program? What sort of programs do you want to write? I see no point in learning one language if the things you want to do are best suited to another language.
It is like a teacher recommending that you learn French as your first foreign language because it is the "best" language when you really want to visit Germany.
zeusconection wrote: the question is if this site is good for beginner on programming
Yes, but you won't get your code written for you. If you need advice we will give it, but we expect you to read the documentation and articles on the subject - if you don't understand those then we'll try and help you out.

As the guy told you before me, we will help you theoretically but not practically
Also according to you language question I have to say I am more on the side of your teacher then the other guy, but ok.
Maybe this post give you a little knowledge. You have to know comparing some language in order to learn programming is a bit of a 'religious' question.

Learn C first, and become a master with pointers.
Then when you learn a language like Java -- you will feel superior to the community of wannabes that couldn't hack it, and bailed for the easy road.
If you use UNIX or Linux, first learn vi and become a master. You will forever hate programming with a mouse and wonder why it was ever used for programming.
Kind regards,

Why not go the whole hog and advocate assembly language. Hell, don't be such a wimp learn how to program in Binary.

insecure?
Something I said offend you?
I was going to add assembly language, but thought that with the material I put out there, he might have a while before he could get to it.
IMHO pointers were difficult for some to comprehend, so Sun created a language so they didn't have to deal with it.
Maybe this person isn't one of them, and is able to learn what goes on "under the hood" in order to be a better software engineer.
Maybe that's why some are called programmers and software developers and others are called software engineers
