Thanks for the input. I actually decided to move on and am starting my new job on Monday next week. Very excited!
On top of that, my new job offers reimbursement for educational expenses!

That's great news. Good luck in the new place!

hi,
Is this good or bad habit to switch job in field of software development ?
some people take this positive as it provides learning and career advancement but some take this as negative.
My resume consist of 3 job switches in 4 years. is this too much ? 
how much a Software Developer should stay in a company, i think minimum 1 year. what's your opinion?

It doesn't depend on the number of switches, but rather on how those switches are motivated. A "job" could take as little as six months and be called a success, or take 10 years.

A year is the minimum to know what was going on and to taste the culture. Having succesfully adapted and worked in various cultures and/or environments makes you more valueable.

Switching to software development is good . However, switching jobs is not.
Here is a simple explanation for that. When you switch jobs, you will never get to price yourself higher in your next applications. Its because employers are interested in how long you have worked in a specific position. So, lets say, for example, you have been working as a mathematician for 1 year, and then after 1 year, you switched to doing Botany. And then after that, you switched to Software Development and spent 1 year working on that field. You spent a total of 3 years working but only one year in software development. After that, you decided to apply for a different employer but same job(SW development). Most employers/companies will price you for 1 year because you are only exposed to software dev for 1 year. Do you get it now? Moral of the story? Concentrate on your field. Its good to be called "Jack of all trades" but its terrible if you land to become "Master of none".
Just a friendly advice.

Hi all,
I'm working on Master degree. Plz, if u have source code related to "network routing using fuzzy systems" or Matlab routing code,Plzz tell me,That's will shorten my work to reach advance work.
Plzzz,I'll do any service u need.Thux

I already answered this question here[^]; please do not post the same question in multiple forums. And just to reiterate, we are not going to do your work so you can get a masters degree by being too lazy even to do your own research.
It's time for a new signature.

| What constitutes a good block of Sample Code to give a prospective employer? I'd blame it on the Brain farts.. But lets be honest, it really is more like a Methane factory between my ears some days then it is anything else...
|
|

I'd say your prospective employer might look at your code three times if all goes well:
1.First a quick scan over it: if it looks horrible with no stucture, no spaces, and nothing to tell me whats going on, it's heading for the bin.
2.Second OK, I'm willing to have another look scanning/reading a bit slower this time: Now I at least take time to see whats happening as I scan through. Can I pick up the story?
3.Third, now I'm interested and I might actually look in detail at some of the actual code.
As one who has interviewed prospective programmers, nothing puts me off as much as the interviewee pulling a wad of printout and saying "here's something I did whilst working for .....". Are they going to take away all they do here the same way? So when I meet prospecctive employers I ensure I of point out "I've got permission to use this code" or this report; or point out i'ts something I wrote at home etc.
And is code just code? I'd be more impressed by an intro saying this code was written based on .... and using a style of .... using .... recommendations. I can see a book "Clean Code" on my bookshelf, refering to such a book, or a standard, is going to make it more than just code, it's already put in the readers mind that you can work to a style, standard or team rules.
Good luck.

Hi,
I've recently been given the green light to try to organize some training sessions using online training videos - preferably free as the company I work for does not want to actually invest in its employees....but that's another issue for another forum....
Anyway, can anyone suggest a site with good training videos? Or conversely, suggest those sites I should avoid.
And yes, the training should involve software/database development...
Thanks.

I don't know what language you will use to develop but this is a very good asp.net-site with many training videos. Just have a look.
Greetings

I have a bachelors of science in computer science, and I've been working as a software developer for the same company for the last 7 years. I'm trying to figure out what to do for my masters: a masters in computer science or a masters in software engineering. I'm sure if I stay at my current company, it's not going to matter either way. But I'm curious as to what other companies would view which degree as being more desirable.
The graduate computer science program at the school I plan on attending has the option of taking almost exclusively nothing but software engineering coursework. So I can basically receive the same kind of education as a masters in software engineering student would; it's just that the degree isn't called "software engineering". So basically it all just boils down to semantics, really.
Personally, my interests lean more towards computer science than software engineering. I've looked at the software engineering curriculum at many different schools, and from what I can tell it's more of a management degree rather than a degree about the actual writing of software. So even though I could take nothing but software engineernig coursework at the school I want to attend, I would just take the "core" software engineernig courses then fill up the rest of the coursework with computer science classes.

Which degree looks "better" depends on the company that is reading it. Company A which is highly process oriented may like SE better whereas one that is more seat-of-the-pants-let's-get-it-done-NOW may like CS better. I'd go for which one you like better. Wait ... you already know that.

If you were not working at your company, which degree would they look for? Take the other one, your seven years of experience already give you the other.

If I was in a position to hire either, I'd take the Software Engineering degree candidate over the Computer Science grad. It may be different in your field, but in my experience, XXX Science types develop theories and formulate universal truths; Engineers build things that work, and sell.

Interesting. Would you pay attention to the course work taken if it were listed on the resume? Like I said in my original post, even though the degree would say "Master of Science Computer Science", I can choose to take all of my coursework from the software engineering concentration so it'd basically be a software engineering degree.

I'd certainly look it over, if the resume made the final cut, but that conflicts with the principle of keeping a resume brief. That's an extremely important rule! I've received resumes that were several pages long - one was over 20 pages, years ago - and they get passed around the office for a good belly laugh, then tossed in the dumpster.

i'm an engineer 2009 pass out
I have two job offers
1.php web developer
2.business analyst
which would be the better choice to work....
the quieter u become more u hear

I would say "web developer" because you did not read the instructions for the Bugs and Suggestions board and posted this question there instead of this forum. To be a business analyst you need to read what you see carefully.
