By far the best source I've had is to build real-life applications.
Two applications that I built in about a weekend each have netted me around 5 gigs around release time, plus about one per month.
People are much more likely to want to hire you based on seeing your work in action than anything else.
- davidw 18y agoGood idea. Open source work is a great way of getting involved and showing off, and you meet lots of people through it too.
- goofygrin 18y agoThe open source projects I've contributed to have not really helped me in real life (other than helping what I use to be better :)) Maybe it's because they are niche applications (mythtv & xbmc) that don't lend themselves well to what I specialize in...
- goofygrin 18y agoThis is definitely something that I'm working on, it's just one of those "long time to get there" type things and I need to have a bit of patience (or code faster!)
