Programmers

[EricBess]

I know that there are a few programmers here on the CPA and I was wondering what sort of experience people might have. I know of a potential job oportunity in the gaming industry.

I apologize for using the forums in this way, but I think that this is the best place I have for finding people who already have a familiarity with the industry and I know that programming has come up here before.

 

[Mooseman]

I do a little VB, SAS, VAX, but have a minor is computer programming.....

 

[Spiderman]

I program in COBOL and a little ALC... have dabbled in C++ but haven't really studied it in years...

 

[mythosx]

What kind of job? I am trying to program a game with some friends using torque right now.

 

[EricBess]

- Ability to read and maintain visual C# code.
- SQL experience with Access databases
- Interest and experience with TGC design and development

For confidentiality reasons, I don't want to give more information out in a public forum, but if anyone is interested in knowing more, I would be happy to let you know what's going on via PM.

Do you hunt dinosaurs to take home for the family dinner, too?

I'm sure he has to drag them through the Fortran to get them home...

I went to college to be a programmer... I even coded in C & C++...

But... I got really tired of it... and I don't want to move anywhere to code, even if it were for something as cool as a TCG... Nor am I interested in giving up my current job. (Plus my C is very rusty...)

I will pass the info on to a friend... is relocation involved? does it require a full-time commitment?

I can draw duckies with MS Paint.


Ransac, cpa trash man

Ouch. That must have burned.

Hey now, I can actually do Fortran programming!!!

Grumble - darn outdated engineering college

No you can't!

Hey, T-Rexs are mighty yummy! They taste just like chicken!

Seriously, you guys know I work for the government. It's been around a long time and the thinking here is that if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

 

[Modus Pwnens]

I've got quite a bit of experience in web-programming, stuff like PHP, HTML, CSS and some Java is easy. My C is a bit rusty, but I should still be able to do some Assembly (how's that for dinosaurs )

 

[Mooseman]

Can we telecommute?
I for one am not moving to the West Coast.....

 

[Budget Player Cadet]

CSS, HTML, XHTML, incredibly basic (read: the include tag) PHP...

 

[Nightstalkers]

I can program lingo and that's about it. Took a class to learn java and failed... tried to get through HTML but I guess my spacial recognition sucks seeing as I can only get things right using image maps...

But I can play errand boy to a troupe of programmers.

 

[Budget Player Cadet]

Isn't HTML like, the most basic language?

 

[Oversoul]

HTML isn't a programming language. It's a markup language. I'm sure someone here understands and can explain the difference better than me...

 

[Modus Pwnens]

I'm sure there is a better explanation available if you google for it, but the short version is that you don't actually program anything in HTML, you just say how you want a browser to display stuff, hence the markup part.

 

[Mooseman]

I think that HTML is not compiled and is not executable.
Basic (a programming language) is compilable and executable.
