Yesterday I was offered a new job in Web Development. It’s clearly a step in the right direction for me with all the web-based projects I have had underway recently.
The job is at a government funded, non-profit organisation called Opportunity Links. Now, before you rush off to type that into Google, everyone’s favourite search engine that is starting to find flaws in its search algorithm – but that’s another topic, I would like to ensure that you pick up the correct link as apposed to the incorrect link (which is rather embarrassing).
Okay so they are technically the same company but the place is split into two, the super elite web design team of which I am part of and the “social-working” website of which I am not. Maybe it’s an inside joke or something? I’ll find out soon enough I guess.
I start on the 6th July 2009 and will be no longer using C++ but instead, the much more elegant, C#. I say more elegant because the debugging features that I have seen are phenomenal. You don’t even need to compile your application for your missing semicolon or bad function declaration to be noticed, it’s just there, in beautifully highlighted colours of the rainbow just asking to be fixed before you sit waiting for the error to appear after compiling for half an hour just because you forgot to pay attention to that closing bracket at the end of your function.
They seem very knowledgeable there and I can’t wait to get stuck in to the bliss that is learning, I miss it more than I can express in mere mortal words. Time to study hard and give it everything I have. Keep your daughters hidden and your suit buttoned up because here comes the best damn web-programmer Cambridge has ever seen!
