Try and find what you enjoy doing, and focus on that. Learn all you can about it, and you will be a specialist, in an area that you enjoy.
Of course, easier said than done.
In terms of the market, my impression is that there is a lot of .NET and Java work out there. C++ is also popular in the non-MS world, although IMO that will change.
Certifications are ok as a way to learn the subject matter in a structured way. As a means to obtaining contracts and work, they are less valuable.

Thanks for your advice. I have to start somewhere. One would think that someone who is adaptable to any number of situations would be invaluable, but it just doesn't seem to work out that way.

If you mean The Code Project, it's a great place to learn more about programming computers using some of the latest programming languages and strategies out there.
I'm still pretty new at all of this, I come here to get ideas, code snippets, and learn new things.

If you're not on the track to being a CTO or CIO, then how can you convince an employer or a client to take advantage of these non-coding skills?
One of my problems is that, even when I'm on a very hands-on contract or assignment, it becomes clear (very quickly) that I also possess these other skills and that I possess them to a greater extent than many others on my team (or in my department). So I get tagged to take on these tasks. I'm very good at these things, but it takes me away from hands-on experience so, when a contract ends or when an employer does a staff churning, I have a hard time selling myself as a technical person.
What's a highly experienced professional to do? (Especially if he's over 39)?

I know where you're coming from. Most HR professionals only look at the "surface" attributes and does not seem interested in digging a little deeper. Many qualified people get "circular filed" as a result.

Hello,
I have recently finished creating software for one of my clients (I am a freelancer). We would like to file the copyright in USA but at this point we don't have license for all the libraries that we use. Normally, in my opinion, they should not ask us for licenses since we will not sell the product untill we have them. But because the process of buying them takes a bit longer we would like to file for copyright in the same time. Does anyone know if we will have problems with this?
Thank you for your time.
All best.

OK ! I've got my first paying gig programming. Yikes ! What sort of contractual agreement might be in order? Some sort of work order describing the scope of the work, payment terms, measurable milestones, change orders.
Would you be willing to share a copy of an agreement I might modify?
Any help appreciated.

I'm new to programming. I'm trying to create a simple DOS program in C that will access an A/D board on the VMEbus. My problem is the Universe II PCI-to-VMEbus bridge that SBS uses on their V5C processor boards. SBS tech support has not been helpful and even with the Universe II user manual on the Tundra website I have not been able to get things to work. I was hoping somebody out there might have some experience with the Universe II and maybe even the V5C board and can help me. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi everyone,
I was just wondering which certification should be done first:
- XML Web Services or - SQL Server 2000
I personally don't have any preference. Wanted to get some opinion.
Thanks

First - SQL Server 2000

It depends on your experience level. Which do you know best? Its always a nice boost to your confidence when you pass the first exam.
BTW, About half the questions on the SQL Server 2000 exam could really be applied to any relational database.

I think this is exactly the right answer.
I did the XML first then the SQL test. I was much more versed on XML WebServices than SQL, and for me at least I got through the XML test with much greater ease.
*shrug* Get the transcenders (www.transcender.com) and get a feel for what each test has and decide for yourself.
Also, Colin is right about passing the first test. Whenever I start these tracks I pick the easiest first just to hit the ground running.
Good luck!

As I did a Johnny Paycheck* last week, I'm going back to contracting. Anyone in the UK recommend or otherwise particular agencies for C++ (primarily VC++) contract work?
Good or bad experiences welcome...
