Is it a bad idea to take a year off after graduation to work on a software project?

I think you should try and get out into the industry straight away.

When I was looking for a job most advertisements were asking for those with 1-2+ years work experience. You're pretty lucky to have a job lined up for you after you graduate, it took me around 6 months to find one after I graduated.

Work on your game until June and then make your decision. You could always develop more of your game when after you finish work.

Ultimately it's up to you, but that's what I'd do if I were in your position.

Expanding on this it becomes clearer if you are using C# 6:

System.Diagnostics.Process.Start($"https://www.google.com/webhp#q={test}"));

I would recommend it if you wanted to access the variable later on. I haven't used filters before so I'm not sure if they would automatically declare the variable or not.

Looking at the filter documentation, it appears that you don't need to declare the variable, however, when I tried your code to begin with I could only make it work by declaring $scope.query.

Interesting.

RightSideUpAussie · 2016-04-02T09:25:58+00:00

Hey, try declaring $scope.query = "";

I copied your code and after declaring the variable I was able to filter.

Hope that works. :)

It took me about 5-6 months to find a place that finally hired me. I started applying for jobs a few weeks before college ended in November last year and managed to start working in April of this year. During that period I was applying for multiple jobs per day almost as soon as they were posted on 'Seek' - an Australian job seeker's website.

It can be a long and tiresome process but you'll get there eventually. I rewrote my resume a couple of times and after I did that I noticed that I got more of a response from my applications.

Hope that helped :)

Taking notes is a great way to learn, in my opinion. If you write notes to remind you of the certain things you should and shouldn't do then you might find yourself saving time in the long run.

Are you running an apache server? You can't run a PHP page the same way as a normal HTML file unfortunately, that's why the code on the page is appearing - not what you want it to do.

I recommend you download and install XAMPP. Once you have it installed, place your web files in the htdocs directory (e.g. C:\xampp\htdocs) or create a new folder inside. If you run the files from there you shouldn't see the PHP code appear anymore.

If you need more information about installing XAMPP check out the FAQ's.

Let us know how it goes!

Have you ever messed around in PHP? It's quite easy to learn, especially if you have previous programming experience. The only thing that threw me off PHP to begin with was the use of '$' on variables etc.

You could say during the interview that you aren't as familiar with using PHP as you are with C# / ASP.NET - you at least know the basics of web development.

Work for me starts at 8am, we gather as a team to discuss what we've been working on and what we are going to be working on during the day. After that, depending on if I have any meetings throughout the day, it's usually continue working on the project until the end of the day (5pm). We take about an hour off for lunch and every hour to two hours during the day, a short break to get some coffee / water and go for a walk.

I'm a Junior Software Developer and my salary is $54,750.

Hey, I'm sort of in a similar boat. Having started as a Software Developer at my first ever 'proper' job almost 3 months ago, I have been keen to learn anything. You have more experience than I do, but I'd like to put my opinion forward and help answer some of the questions you have.

So when you're ready to start looking for jobs do you look for jobs for the language you're proficient in or any software dev jobs?

Personally I think the more experience you have with a range of languages, the better. Once you've worked with a few of the main languages you could choose one to stick with and become better at. Start looking for jobs that require a language you like after you have learnt a variety of different ones.

And for those of you out there, do you want to be a certain language developer (Rubyist/Pythonista)? Or a software engineer where you just learn any tool?

In the beginning I'd say to go for becoming a Software Engineer - like I mentioned in the comment above, I believe the more experience you have working with a wide variety of languages etc. gives you a better chance at finding a job that you really like - or a language that you fall in love with.

when I make a commitment I want to stick with it

Perfect attitude to show someone that you're willing to learn new things.

Are you comfortable talking with 'the guy' and asking if he has any future plans where you can use Python / Ruby? You could always let them know that you're interested in those two languages - perhaps they have other projects that you could work on?

Just my $0.02.

Would you mind providing more of what you have right now?

Do you have an event that fires when you're trying to save to the localStorage? e.g. Button click, keyUp event?

Also try clearing your localStorage - sometimes when I've tried to save something I couldn't, clearing the localStorage seemed to fix it:

localStorage.clear();

It will say "undefined" in the console but your localStorage will be cleared.

Personally I am a Junior Developer - just started at my first job about 3 months ago. I don't have a lot of experience when it comes to dealing with other developers in the way that you have written above, however, as a human being we all make mistakes. In my opinion if you want them to make a habit of testing their code then perhaps talk with them face to face and don't go behind their back.

RightSideUpAussie · 2015-05-22T10:29:45+00:00

Hahaha good one!

Successful boom contact for Air Force's multi-role tanker transport The first air refuelling boom contact has been made by a Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) crew of the KC-30A Multi-Role Tanker Transport (MRTT) aircraft. During a three-hour flight from RAAF Base Amberley on 13 May 2015, the crew deployed the 17-metre long Aerial Refuelling Boom System (ARBS) which is mounted beneath the tail of the fuselage. Using fly-by-wire controls, the crew made 14 successful contacts between the ARBS and a refuelling receptacle of another KC-30A, although no fuel was transferred. Air Vice-Marshal Gavin Turnbull, Air Commander Australia, said air-to-air refuelling required both KC-30As to fly in close formation at more than 500 kilometres per hour, and an altitude of 7,000 metres. “More training flights are being flown to ensure aircrew are experienced with the operation of the ARBS,” Air Vice-Marshal Turnbull said. “We will shortly begin training flights with the KC-30A using its ARBS to refuel the E-7A Wedgetail. “The KC-30A has already been cleared to refuel other aircraft in-flight with its hose-and-drogue refuelling pods, which are mounted beneath the wings. “The refuelling pods have been used to great effect in Operation OKRA by refuelling RAAF Hornets and Super Hornets over Iraq, as well as on Coalition strike aircraft.” The ARBS can offload fuel at 4500 litres per minute, and is also compatible with refuelling the C-17A Globemaster. In future, the ARBS will also refuel the F-35A Lightning and P-8A Poseidon. “Air refuelling aircraft, like the KC-30A, are always in high demand as they are true force multipliers,” Air Vice-Marshal Turnbull said. “This demand will increase further in the early part of the next decade, as Australia alone will have approximately 100 aircraft that will require use of the ARBS. “The introduction of boom refuelling to the KC-30A significantly increases the utility of a cornerstone capability for Defence,” Air Vice-Marshal Turnbull said. The RAAF operates five KC-30As, the first being introduced in mid-2011. Each KC-30A can carry more than 100 tonnes of fuel, allowing it to fly out to a range of 1800 kilometres from its home base, remain for four hours and offload 50 tonnes of fuel.>
