Primarily networking and data comms. Thought i studyed a few telecomms modules through college and have got experience with varying voice switches in work (SDX, meridian etc)

yep - i've worked from ops, ops supervisor, trainee COBOL programmer (yuk!), production programmer, programming team leader, developer, senior developer. I also do in-house Oracle & Pro*C/C++ training for new associates.

cobol programmer? I thought all those were extinct

oh nooooo - not at all - loads of old legacy systems with heaps of lines of COBOL code. I HATE COBOL WITH A PASSION - I think I did 2 courses on it spanning 1 year and then left the company to get away from it !!

well i use the following

 

Actionscript

Lingo

JavaScript

Java

XML

PHP/ASP/Coldfusion

SQL/MySQL/Oracle

LINUX/UNIX

 

and networking/topology/protocols/security

 

although probably security is my fav

 

and wub wub COBOL has been revamped AGAIN!! But there a lot of places that still use it. But you'll notice an increase of middleware for that reason too

Ive think we've slipped into geek mode here lads. Too many 3 letter acronyms. I get enough geek talk in work i think we shud cut it out all together on here...

I prefer network traffic monitoring.....

 

Next year I'm teaching the freshers on my course at Uni their networking module. That'll be fun on a Monday morning

 

"Matt, did we see you mashed off your face down the Opera House on Friday?"

you know what i find shocking is how many computer related peeps there are in clubbin. There are quite a few.

 

also forgot to mention know a bit of C++ but i hate it, it's the devils work i tells ya.

Actionscript - whats this ?

Lingo - whats this ?

JavaScript - yep

Java - not had too much exposure to this yet

XML - yep

PHP/ASP/Coldfusion - getting into PHP - love it

SQL/MySQL/Oracle - yep

LINUX/UNIX - yep

 

Between us we could start our own fecking company!

what do you favour for in replacement to C++ ? Java ?

Actionscript is Flash programming language. I love it think it's the muts nuts.

 

Lingo is Directors programming language. Kinda similar to ActionScript but very powerful in the new media market.

 

I'm gettin into PHP too, got a friend that is a guru in it and i've been learning PHP and Flash interaction.

 

I prefer Java over C++ for a few silly reasons. Mainly i had a bad experience with C++ when started uni so kinda put me off it. And i like OOP, that's about it, and i prefer to write network code in Java than C++ because i find it easier with it.

 

Oh dear god that was very geeky.
