That is a great skills matrix. I have some set learning goals for myself(outside of work) this year and this matrix just confirms that I am heading in the right direction.

I am very interested in the outcome of this. Could you please make sure to post what you do and the results of those actions.

I dove straight into the code for my current project. Since it is something that I do not have exposure to at work, I was more concerned about learning the language and environment than developing the concept out. Next time I will definit

Thanks for the insight, sounds very interesting. I will have to put this on the to read list.

I had the same issue as you. I had a stack of books that I wanted to get through but always found it hard to force myself to make the time in the day to read them. I started taking books to work and reading in my lunch breaks. This worke

I second the question on how you define the "best" book.

I love that quote from Sam. If you learn nothing else from this experience, I hope it is that you need to have everything in writing. Such an important thing that many of us sometimes forget amongst the pressures of everything that is goi

Last year I went to visit a friend who has spent the last 2 years living on a Pacific island. I had the feeling that there was not a lot of programming opportunities on this said island but there was a market for IT generalists. There was

I would also suggest that a set time frame of 3 days will not fit every project and could be a cause for pain when you can not deliver said project on time. You might want to have some sort of range of times/prices depending on how hard/bi

I had a flatmate once who used dodgy online streaming websites. They were riddled with pop ups and advertising but no ads in the actual video. The quality of the movie also varied in source from "Cams" to "dvdrips".

It really depends on if you have family/kids. That sort of move will require a lot more thought and planning if you are to move your whole family. Compared to if you are single, you only have yourself to look after and provide for. I hav

Just a quick question on attire, am I correct in presuming this is a casual event and therefore we should not dress up like we would for an interview?

Ask yourself what your priorities are with going to college. Let’s say you do get a job for a start-up, will you set yourself a time limit of say a year before you go to college. You will find it harder and harder to give up a job and go

It will only be a mistake if you do not learn anything from it. So I wouldn't even look at your decision as one choice could lead to a huge mistake.

I also agree with "if it is not on paper, it does not count!". My first job they verbally agreed to a pay rise at the end of the first 6 months. It was a lot of hard work getting them to actually act upon this. This was a very very tight

I think that statement is upon reflection. Everyone looks back at previous code and thinks they could have written it better. That is just the progression of a developer.

If Ebay decide to adopt this approach, wouldn't that be a sign that this startup has merit?

I would general agree with this but I think it comes down more towards the type of person you are and the way jobs and study are viewed. University is seen as a fixed term situation and is at an individual level. Here are the things you ne
