Microsoft is not relently on its efforts to kill of  the opposition.

I have just read about the romance between Eclipse and Microsoft here http://www.regdeveloper.co.uk/2008/03/19/microsoft_eclipse_swt_project_wpf/

CMM is useless. I did the PSP (Personal Software Process) course admisitered by CMU .

This whole Software Engineering thing does not have any value in todays business. It is just a way of adding another level of beaurucracy into the process. I mean the PSP course and CMM is the most ridiculus thing i have ever come across .

Personally i think building software should be solely about satisfying what the customer wants . This can only be done by constantly presenting unfinished work to the customer as often as possible to get their approval or disaproval.

A software project is not going to succeed if you have a CMM level 5 or if you have a superior method of gathering sofware metrics for your organization or is it going to succeed if you do not present what you are building to the customer as often as possible.

I have worked and seen projects fail in companies where the these approaches was adopted .

The very best appraoch to software development is the Agile approcah

I have used Java for some odd years now and i love it. But i really like the .Net platform as well from my little experients. GUI development is so straightfoward

I want to disagree with a few comments here.

firstly. Being a lazy developer is actually a very good trait of an above average - expert developer. I am disagreeing on the basis of not reinventing the wheel.

For example

Should i write my own Quick sort algorithm or should i just use Arrays.sort ?
Even the Arrays.sort method in Java which was implemented by Josh Bloch was actually an implementation from the book "Engineering a Sort Function"

Should i implement a new MVC pattern for a web project am working on or should i just use Struts or Winforms ?

etc.

The idea here is that code that is in public domain would probably have been better tested by a community of users than code you have written and tested yourself

The fundamental distinction here is that there are basically two classes of developers.

There are Framework Developers and there are Application Developers.

If you are an application developer it is your duty to combine different frameworks into a workable application in the shortest possible time. That is what you are paid to do.

If you are a Framework Developer . You might want to extend the boundaries of known methodologies just to make your Framework appealing to other developers mostly Application Developers.

You are better off with a Microsoft certification or better still a Degree that those worthless certificates

CD materials ?

check this website www.google.com

Blondes are just so dumb

That website was a good read. Nice incite into the Glo culture. I never knew Mr Adenuga was GAY

Most of these patterns are built into a lot of widely used frameworks these days anyway so a good appreciation of what design patterns are is probably a requirement for at least those that a DECENT developers.

where this dude dey

Guys. . . there is lack of opportunities in that enviroment.
I believe there are very decent Developers out there in Nigeria but they do not have any opportunity to explore their creative side.

Learn C++ first then Java Second

Good

wats ap

It depends on what you are trying to do. All languagues have their advantages and disadvantages

seems like those questions don put everyone to sleep

Nigerians typically will not show up for this kind of meet up after making all the mouth on the internet.

We arranged something like this about 2 years back and only two people showed up

nice one.

If an increase in aggregate demand is greater than expected, actual inflation is:

A) greater than expected inflation and unemployment decreases.
B) greater than expected inflation and unemployment increases.
C) less than expected inflation and unemployment decreases.
D) less than expected inflation and unemployment increases.

Explain why you chose your answer .



Consider an economy at full employment but with relatively high inflation. Assume the central bank unexpectedly reduces money supply growth. The unexpected reduction in money supply growth is most likely to have which of the following effects on the inflation rate and output level in the short run?

Inflation rate Output
A) Remains higher than the desired rate Drops below the desired level
B) Remains higher than the desired rate Remains equal to the desired level
C) Drops to the desired rate Drops below the desired level
D) Drops to the desired rate Remains equal to the desired level

Which of the following statements regarding the methods of revenue recognition is most accurate?

A) The completed contract method is used when the selling price or cost estimates are unreliable.
B) The completed contract method, in comparison to the percentage-of-completion method, will generally result in higher net income.
C) The percentage-of-completion method is primarily used in contracts that have short lives.
D) The percentage-of-completion method generally results in lower retained earnings than the completed contract method.

(d)

.25 ^ 1 * .75 ^3 * (4Cr1) = .42 == 42%

hmm

some fixed income derivatives can be very complicated beasts maybe thats why the nse are very reluctant

I do go there as well. A lot of the tips there are "technical analysis based". however u do see a couple of company fundamentals analysis tips as well - which i tend to prefer actually "when investing and not trading ". (lets just say am old school)

NSE Stock market is interesting but i wonder why the bonds market is not popular and the derivatives market is virtually none existent. It is virtually impossible to hedge ones risk in NSE i wonder how the mutual funds and pension funds protect themselves if the market is bearish

waste of money

Both. since u have more than 3 months left to the exam
