I work for an IT consultancy firm in The Netherlands and I get paid a salary. It is the most common in The Netherlands. I prefer salary over an hourly rate because it gives me more security (when you're sick or when the firm has no assignments, you get paid.)
this sounds like a very bad april fools joke... can't be true, can it? i'd like to hear from somebody who has really seen the thing WORK with his own eyes. sorry, VERY hard to believe....
I'm very surprised there's a new edition of this java book. I bought the 1st edition a few months ago when i was wanted to try some java programming. It was on sale for 10 guilders (4,50 euro), so... what a bargain!
Unfortunately, i found it a little too hard for newbies. Frankly, you're supposed to have already a quite lot of knowledge on c or c++ (which i didn't...). So for people starting on java and programming, probably not the best available (although i don't know which one is the best).
Too bad, cause the author writes very nice (jokes, anecdotes, etc...).
(In the 1st edition is a great 10-page explanation on how to make a waterbomb with only a newspaper. Now that's something different!)
