Honestly I can't believe that a "major" American University would grant you a CS degree without being able to program. Yes sure CS is more than just programming but let's face it programming is a major part of it. How do you manage not being able to program and still get through all the course work?
Please be so kind and let me know which university you've graduated from so I don't make the mistake and let my kid's enroll in that school.
Recruiters are your best friends when you are on the look out for a new job (Monster, HotJobs, etc. are mostly just a waste of my time). Sure they can be a little bit annoying once in a while. But unless you are planning to stay with the same job for the rest of your life I'd be polite but not a push over while talking to them. If you are at the moment not looking for a new opportunity simply tell them so and most will not bother you again for the next 6 month which is when they'll check up on you again. I find this quite convenient and every so often I actually take the time to listen them out to get a better feel for the job market and what's out there and most importantly what it pays.
I am surprised that no one has yet brought up lisp macros which can be used to develop a similar framework. Code can be written in Lisp and compiles/generates to javascript.
See http://www.cliki.net/Parenscript and http://www.cliki.net/jsgen for implementations in common lisp.
The problem I see with any form of generated javascript is that it will be hard to debug should something unexpectedly go wrong.
its the developer that writes unmaintainable code. TMTOWTDI and the Perl syntax have hardly anything to do with badly written code in Perl or any other language. Sure understanding an expressive language like Perl takes a bit more than learning a language like Java. But that does not mean that Java or [insert any language here] prevents you from writing ugly code. I am primarily working as a Java developer on mostly large projects and the amount of badly written code I have to deal with is simply frustrating. And most of it is written by "Senior" developers and design pattern aficionados!!!
AMQ is not to be confused with ActiveMQ. ActiveMQ is an open-source Java JMS implementation. Sun's JMS API defines a unified interface to a messaging system. The problem with JMS is that it is Java centric and Sun did not specify a wire protocol or the binary message format.
AMQ is an implementation of a messaging system that is cross language/platform, something that is, from what I know, currently only povided by commercial messaging implementations which are quite pricey.
