<t>Software engineering is a wet dream for people who are disturbed by the unpredictability and change that is part of software development. It is a Sysyphean attempt to impose a broken analogy in the name of recognition, self-respect, better comp, and fat textbooks. The unspeakable truth about soft...

<t>QuoteOriginally posted by: lballabioAs for dynamic languages becoming mainstream: this page lists the number of projects per language at the Sourceforge site.I openly admit that it's a biased sample---they're all open-source projects, so they don't give any hints about industry penetration---and ...

<t>Dr Ben, Cuchulain, I think you're mistaken. The OMG have a track record of producing overcomplex, bureacratic, ugly standards that promise the world and ultimately disappoint. If you think about Corba, UML, XMI, MOF they all share two things:1) They are fat and ugly.2) They are products of the OM...

<t>I heard a talk by Emanuel Derman a few months ago where he discussed this point and asserted that doing a physics doctorate as a way of becoming a quant was just dumb (today) now that Quant Finance / Financial Engineering has a healthy theoretical basis. Why not do a PhD at Columbia, NYU, CMU, LS...

<t>I'm not saying an understanding of data structures, algorithms and O(N) notation is not useful, just that in large applications that haven't had significant tuning, the major performance problems tend to have gross causes. I think this is more true with Java than C++/C, perhaps because it's easie...

<t>QuoteOriginally posted by: DCFCBut for each person the 90% is different.There are bits that are clear to each student that he will never need which of course means less time (if any) on things he wants.The best form of training is mentoring, and if your firm does it on the right scale vastly more...

<t>Are you in Europe or the US? Sturgeon's Law ("90% of everything sucks") certainly applies to training courses.I have had good experiences with QA, IBM, and *some* Sun classes. Many of the Sun classes were too dumbed down.I have heard rave reviews from colleagues about the Bruce Eckel live-in clas...

<t>As well as considering how well regarded the CQF is, it is also worth considering how well it fits your experienceand how it will help you interview.I was lucky to get my employer to pay for the distance learning version. My thoughts:- first rate lectures and lecturers, but much more focused than...

I suspect that much of the illegal recruitment practice occurs before interview and isunchecked. This would chiefly be decisions based on the name of a candidate and thelength of their resume / date of graduation.

I'd encourage you to contact Calypso directly - they may be able to provide the same.
