The problem isn't whether the programmers can write code in.NET. The problem is that the existing code base that runs much of Corportate America, and small business, is written in VB. (10 years of code.)
They don't want to see their code base break next year because some patch from Microsoft breaks the VB6 runtimes.
But the point it still true. You didn't learn Python to get a job.
Repeat after me: "An academic excercise is not a job."
This will explain your future interviewers eye-rolling when they ask you about the experience you listed on your resume and you tell them about some class you took.
Not quite true. Some of the various versions of COBOL and RPG I've used in the past were very white space specific. Both predate terminals. (Anyone still have a coding pad on a shelf somewhere?)
Unless you shift the idea of a "language" to a "remembered motion" interface via a tablet or screen (my dream) then any character intensive directions will be equally useable via any of the now available methods of programming.
2. the data is in a heiracherical format, reducing data replication and allowing for a more sophisticated data structure.
Seems like you missed that entire generation of Information Management where we left hierarchical (IMS) and migrated to network (IDMS, DMSII), then to relational (DB2, Oracle) data models that allowed for more sophisticated, flexible data structures.
The apps don't run on the server. They run on the desktop. The applications have functionality that uses the server to facilitate mulit-user communication, resource sharing, storage etc.
Who said that Corel has to give away their software under GPL? Just becasue it's going to be delivered with Debian (or anything else for that matter) why aren't they allowed to control their property rights anyway they want to?

Leads you through all three levels of database design from start to finsh. Exhaustive and not for the faint-hearted but probably the definitive work on the subject.

These appear to be the same as the shooting lenses, skiing goggles, driving glasses we've had around for years, just in contact form.
Except what we know is that the core concern of a telecomunications application ~is~ the billing and timing of calls.
That's why you always get billed even if sometimes the call is dropped. Never the other way around.

If he could write it himself he wouldn't need it. What he needs is something from somebody who ~already~ understand this. So do I.

This just plays right into the hands of the Chinese goverment who always said that Microsoft made special provisions for the US gov't in Windows.
It's not that he's a hypocrite. He's speaking from personal experience. :)

Ahhh
He said people "like" the Gentoo team made linux what it is, he didn't say "the Gentoo team" made linux what it is. Geesh.
Unless of course english is not your first language in which case, nevermind...
My truck, a very nice 4 door pick-up, doesn't have a trunk. I do however have the money to buy something that will fit in the dash.
