Did you do the needful in your interview? You read what your friend wrote on the whiteboard, whilst he was standing behind the teleconference camera?
This is very good.Comment

Originally posted by juststarting View PostWell I have been learning development now for about 3 hours doing some Microsoft HOLs ( I was away for awile but just heard the newest kid on the block - a "snack" , a learning snack !! ) .... I havent written a single line of code yet .... it is just soooo much simplier than I thought - just select this and that , drag this there , fill this field ..... this is easier than I thought ! I can really get into this programming business ... after first look - it is the same as infrastructure - just windows and windows and windows.
Anyway , back to my learning snack - creating a Web Part.
Now , I dare the next agent who calls me to ask me weather I am a developer and can create web parts !Comment

I'm fairly confident that I, or any other expereinced developer, could pick up another mainstream language we're not familiar with, and given a couple of weeks, get to a level of proficiency where we would be comfortable enough to discuss it with an SME for that language.Comment

But only because I understand a bunch of the nastier aspects of Java. If I wasn't looking for the tricks, hacks and kludges, becoming competent would take much longer.Comment
