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.

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?Comment

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.Cats are evil.Comment
