Well, there were lots of scottish time travelers from the future that were members of the Nazi party between 1933 and 1945.

I've heard that, and it strikes me as absurd. If a visitor to our country becomes enamoured of it, why should one not inquire about becoming a citizen or a legal resident? If this is really going on it should be stopped immediately! Our country was built by immigrants who wanted to make a better life for themselves and their families; it's sheer lunacy to turn away or intimidate people who make perfectly legitimate requests for information!

That's what it says on the backside of the green visa waiver. The form also contains yes/no questions whether you're a terrorist, drug dealer, convict, etc.

That's great - makes things much less complicated! Check out the website then, and start contacting employers in the US. The most common way for non-US citizens to come to work here is through the H1-B visa, and the numcer of such visas is limited. There may be other alternatives that I'm not aware of, though, and the information on the Internet is probably the best source available. Good luck!

Yo, I thought H1-B is for Canadian only and it's a result of NAFTA? For foreign nationals from elsewhere (besides Canada/Mexico), ... is it L-1 Visa? Not sure.

There are so many jobless american software engineers who are looking for jobs in USA and can't find it. Why would any company want to go through the complex process of bringing someone from outside USA ???
You better look somewhere else man.

I have many researches about the map projections for tracking peruses, you know that it is not easy to deal with this things, I have built my own map controls which process raster and vector maps, also I have built my own 3D engine , I thing you could not find this things every where….
In addition to many sensitive projects which I could not tell you much about it!

Well, that sounds interesting for sure. But I doubt that it is unique. It doesn't sound any more involved than the GPS systems I've worked on. Anyway, I wish you all the best.

Me and a business partner have what we believe is a great idea. We've started working on it. While the overall concept isn't too difficult, we're in a little over our heads. We're looking for a Web, .NET, C# programmer who wants to join us, who lives here in the Bay Area (San Francisco).
To be clear, we're doing this on a shoe string. We can't pay, but we're offering a part of the company that we hope will be lucrative once we go active. We have several trial sites lined up and are ready to go. Not having a product is a kind of limiting thing...
We know we have a great concept - we can fill you in on the whole thing under NDA - but we need a sharp person to help us make it real.
Interesting in joining a dream? Reply to this message and we can get together and see if it all makes sense!
Thanks!
Mike.

Hi all,
I am writing a report on Software Development and Organizational Conflict at the University of Copenhagen's Institute of Computer Science. For that purpose we have created a survey, which I would be very grateful if you could spare a few moments to fill out, provided you work with software development - it is anonymous and doesn't take very long to fill out. Any assistance would be very much appreciated.
The survey is found here:

Did any of you have a technical interview with Thoughtworks? What kind of questions did they ask? I'd love to work there, but I'm kind of scared of the interview. Those guys seems to be very good and their selection process is very tough .

Hi all,
i'm recently graduated software engineer (15 months) working for an electronics company. In order to complete a recent project i started looking into .Net and c#. After 6 months i've now completed my first production level .Net application and in doing so have developed a keen interest in the platform itself.
My question is as follows, i'm currently considering taking the MCAD exam but i've seen the press releases about Whidbey, Longhorn, Orcas etc. and i'm wondering will the MCAD based on the current version of .Net be irrelevant too soon to warrant the time & money. spent studying for it? 
I know Microsoft have changed their policy of retiring old certifications but does anyone know if they plan to offer an upgrade path or will everyone need to start from scratch.
Any info is welcome
Cheers
Paul Griffin

Current MCSD's are still valid from pre .NET days and there is no requirement that I'm aware of to upgrade. I did upgrade my just as a means of learning though.

|
|
Changes to the MCSD have been few and far between over recent years. I doubt MCAD requirements will change for at least 2 years and I doubt they'll change that soon.

It still gives you some advantage to know COM/ATL even today. While it may not be a deciding factor, MCAD does give you an extra edge. Personally, exams is a good way to let me gauge what I do not know about things that I should know.

I'd advise you to just take the plunge. The only thing you'll spend is a little bit of time, and the tests are pretty damn easy. I have a mostly non-MS background (some C++ and a lot of Java), and I recently became an MCSD and then MCDBA, a total of seven tests. I studied a total of seven days-- one for each test. Please believe me, I'm no genius; the tests just aren't that difficult. Microsoft has done this intentionally in an effort to increase their market share; they'd love to be able to trumpet "10 million certified .NET developers can't be wrong" on every media channel.
Especially for someone like yourself, recently graduated (which means you have recent study experience), it'd be pretty easy to knock one out each weekend WITHOUT killing yourself. You'd also be bound to learn some interesting things during your studying, things you wouldn't naturally pick up in the course of your work. If they don't offer an upgrade path later, just do the same thing over again; it'll keep you on your toes. Or you could just decide at that point that Microsoft can go hang for putting you through all that trouble for nothing...
Regards,
Jeff Varszegi

Great!
If you have a few extra bucks to spend, I'd check out the Transcender exams at transcender.com; their practice suites are pretty awesome. Last I knew they were around ninety bucks each, but you get a discount if you buy a few together. They usually come with a flashcard part and a testing part, and the latter contains multi-paragraph explanations of the answers and why they're wrong or right, for every answer to every question. The flashcards are helpful, but the practice test answers usually wind up teaching me something that's useful to know.
I'm not shilling for Transcender; I seldom recommend anything to anybody, but I was impressed by their stuff. If you don't want to spend the extra money, I'm positive you'll do really well just by studying and/or practicing.
One thing about the MS exams that made me sweat a couple of times was just the extreme length of some of the questions, which can easily scroll past an entire page depending on the computer setup at the testing center. You have to just force yourself to read those as quickly as you can, and then read it again if necessary. I think that for such lengthy questions, it's better not to come back and force yourself through it again; just focus hard for a minute or two and choose the best answer and let it go, no worries.
If you're taking the Windows Forms test first, you will pick up at least a question or two just by memorizing all of the properties, etc. of the standard widgets.
Good luck!

LMAO... I hope you weren't plugging for Transcender. They have been bought out and I dance around the purchase agreement! The company has ruined my family forever! I will boycott to the bitter end!
