I made my first 4-figure check off a Christina Aguilera website I built in 2000. Not sure where I went wrong...


Is today the wrong day to ask for a SUBWAYSJARED where-are-they-now post?

A friend of mine that knew almost nothing about websites, but knew how to partner with someone who did, created a site for reselling event tickets. Yep, pretty much a blatant ripoff of StubHub. They provided service for free, built up traffic for about three months, then sold the whole kit and kaboodle for about 800 grand.

Daq, increase your value by getting further into the back-end programming. People with .net and Visual Basic skills along with database knowledge are in high demand. Learn at least one flavor of sql. You'll be able to make a turnkey app from back-end to front-end, which what employers are really looking for right now.

The ship has pretty much sailed on small phone apps. Everything's been invented. Most development in that area is specific stuff for companies to promote their business.

It's good to be PaulVa... daiquiri

Congrats Daiq! Awaiting the Daiq Instagram page. No skinny jeans, just your work please tyia.

Err, meant to type Visual Studio. Which can use Visual Basic or C#. C# is in higher demand, but Visual Basic is still fairly popular.

I know people who would pitch a resume that had Visual Basic on it, their reasoning that knowing the language indicates bad habits.

Nobody mentioned Ruby on Rails or Python? Django? Javascript?

VB carries a stigma that's hard to get away from. Today it's not as bad since (from what I gather) VB.net is basically c# but I wouldn't want to associate myself with that stigma since VB.net offers few benefits over the alternatives.

My favorite full stack solution to suggest today would be an HTML5 front end running a web application framework (there are a few) on node.js. Not that anything else wouldn't work, it's mostly a matter of preference (religion according to some).

The advantage is that you're using the same language for the front and back end, which lessens the load on a new developer. Plus, javascript is everywhere and its getting more and more popular.

Daiq,

I used this tutorial to learn node.js http://cwbuecheler.com/web/tutorials...press-mongodb/

Feel free to pm me with any questions.

Thanks for the encouragement guys! Skinny jean power!

Wolfram, it's funny because I started to mess around with node.js yesterday, and that is what I was tinkering with when I came here now (trying to build some basic tool to check out a bunch of scraped urls if they run on wordpress, and are not responsive, so I can target my cold emails better at outdated wordpress sites. It's more or less functional after a few hours, yay)

I will check out the tutorial, thanks!

Just think daiquri...if you get good enough, you can probably get an H1-B visa from one of the many USA#1 companies looking to replace all of their overskilled workers with minwage implants. If you ever had plans of living in SF or Seattle on 33k/yr, those doors may be opening.

Edit: And you couldn't even be distracted by online poker cuz we ain't got that **** here. Just another perk of the job.

no need to worry, I have no intention to live in the land of the free

Meh, Visual Studio works equally well with C# or VB as the underlying language, and there are still quite a few jobs for VB underneath. If you're learning it though, better to do the C# because you could pick up the VB quickly if you had to.

Plus, it's a lot cheaper than Microsoft. I don't know why managements choose MS over a cheap/free stuff like the Java-based or Ruby on Rails, etc. Lack of imagination, probably. I know that's why our management chose it.

Yeah, you could live three to a 1 bedroom apartment like I see people advertising on craigslist. Only $900 a month apiece!

While youre browsing Craigslist if you come across one of these ads where the other two tenets are hot co-ed and/or asian women under the age of 24, please PM the link

I can only find 25 year-olds, yer outta luck.

Lol, ok, that one's pretty good Pope.

So...this is a thread about resumes now? Wasn't there a Limit Holdem forum here, you know, once upon a time?

RIP LHE

hey GB, good to see you around! what's up with you, care to share what you're doing in the post-lhe world? I'm honestly interested, you used to inspire me back in the day..

On a related note, how are your C# skills?

I got married

You found him inspiring back in the day, but now you think he is a total loser? It must be nice not having to look up to random LHE pros anymore.

Congrats!

Sent from my SM-G900P using 2+2 Forums

which part of my post suggested that I think he's a loser?
how could anyone inspire me when I have no idea what they do? that's why I asked.

So GB the person never inspired you? All you cared about was his PTR graph, books, and videos? Your respect for him is based entirely on whether or not he is successful and interesting at this precise moment? If he is struggling right now, he no longer inspires you?
