    sounds like the whole Java coding environment is fractured and has too many 3rd party libraries... get it sorted and do.NET...

      That's it's big advantage IMO. Loads of stuff has already been done and is available as open source libraries, most of which are licensed with an Apache license. So why re-invent the wheel? Either use the whole library, or take the bits of code you want and incorporate it into your own. Job done.

          The big question is = how to get the first contract?

          I've tried the "I'll take a lower rate while I aquire the skills" tack.

          What would you do?
          a) Get permie job for 6 months to a year
          b) Do the tutorials and bluff it on the CV?

            acquire



            Ideally get a contract that bridges the technologies, e.g. C++ with a bit of Java.

            Otherwise learn as much as you can (Java cert, read lots of books) and make up a CV that will get you a low-end Java role (HTML and JSP with a bit of JDBC etc.) Work like a bastard and soak up as much Java as you can, and stick it out for a year.
