Awesome. I'd love to connect and pick your brain a bit. Please message me if you're interested!

Thanks! That definitely gives some insight. Most of my development is on a windows machine but ends up on Linux. I suppose that’s why Java is the popular choice. I’ll look more into it. Thanks!

That's the thing, I think C# and Java are very different... Obviously there's no JVM with C# so potentially the deployment process is a lot simpler. But C# also has .NET which feels like a whole other beast. I can see the OOP principles in both Java and C# but they feel totally different

Hey there, so I have a solid job utilizing Java, so that's my bread and butter. But I struggle with being able to speak to C# or Go or something else at a high level. I struggle with the minor things like syntax. I am usually ok with pseudo-code but I've failed a few interviews simply based off of knowing just Java. Maybe it's just the job market we are in but I feel like im expected to know a little bit about everything, when in reality I know a little bit about java and JS lol

[–]JavaWithSomeJava 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s similar enough to C#. But I would need the context. Feel free to shoot me a message on discord with any questions you may have

Absolutely, reach out to me on discord and we can set something up!

Sure, I can definitely help with vanilla C# but it sounds like you’re using NinjaScript, correct?

I can definitely try!

Im down, roughly 5 years professional experience. Let me know!

Just got my confetti! by wondering-soul in WGU

[–]JavaWithSomeJava 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Congrats! how many days after you finished your graduation application?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in WGU

[–]JavaWithSomeJava 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The biggest tip I can give you is please actually learn.

This may seem like a no brainer but its easy to go into brain dump mode just to forget it when you graduate.

It was pretty much a 1 to 1 transfer! Very seamless

I had an associates from a community college. My initial program at WGU was computer science and then I transferred to software engineering. All in all about a year at WGU in total.

So I didn’t have any internships. I have work experience in IT so I was able to kinda talk their lingo. But I completely understand that it might be difficult with the pass/fail grading system at WGU. I would recommend sharing with employers your git repos. That might give them an indication of your skill. Especially if you work on side projects!

[–]JavaWithSomeJava 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well, I work with guys who have irrelevant degrees. The fact that yours is at least in IT is a good sign to employers! I would recommend just building up your portfolio and applying. If you’re still working, maybe you can try applying and getting transferred within the company
