1. Euphoria Accreditation?
--0-672839807-1013180065=:6877
TOTUS TUUS
G'day, Im an Australian teenager who picked up Euphoria about a year ago. I've
found it very good. I feel confident making basic programs and have read through
as many tutorials as possible. However, I cannot see how this can be made to
count on a resume. Knowing how to program in Euphoria is great, but seems a bit
futile unless I can get employed at it. What can I do to get some recognition,
like some sort of accreditation?
Thanks a lot,
Michael.

Perhaps any potential employer wil be sufficiently impressed at your ability to
learn and work on your own and that logical and technical reasons do not
intimidate you :)

Euphoria is useless on a resume'.
It's a good way to get into programming, however, because you can actually
write fairly useful programs with it, and go on to learn three or four other
languages, which WILL go on your resume'.
Also, if you happen to write something useful in Euphoria, and people are
really impressed with it, why should you tell them what language you used?
My answer would be: "I always choose the most appropriate tool for the job",
which is kinder than saying "you wouldn't have a clue if I told you" - which
is most often the case.
You should be aware of two things:
1 Whatever language you learn now will most likely be out of style in three
or four years.
2. Having the ability to (quickly) learn something new is more valuable than
knowing the old (out of style) stuff backwards and forwards - assuming you
can't do both.
Accreditation for programmers is like accreditation for musicians. I can read
music, and know where all the keys are on a piano - so I could pass the test,
right?
For some reason, however, nobody wants to hear me play.

Irv

Quite simple, really !
Just write a " WOW, this is a really unique and useful... " application in
Euphoria that everyone will want to BUY and use !
... and, there's your accreditation.

Well, I disagree. I can show you a handful of programming languages that still
fully operational and 'in style' these days, but I'll tell you just one: COBOL!
My first language and one that I particularly hate. ;)

<FontFamily><param>Times New Roman</param><bigger>Hi Mick,
I liked your 'totus tuus'. It shows faith and belief. Not in Euphoria or any
other programming language, but in your own skills. To handle anything you get,
using whatever you have in hands, that's all accreditation you need. ;)
Cheers!

There'll always be a need for people to support legacy applications,
but job postings you see now talk about xml, php, Java, ASP, and VB.
As an example, see the survey here:
http://www.computerworld.com/cwi/story/0,1199,NAV47_STO54574,00.html
For example: 10% of the companies surveyed planned to hire COBOL
programmers in 2002, while 36% planned to hire Java programmers.
I've seen a good bit of discussion lately that indicates that Java is
losing its appeal, as well. Who knows whats next?

Irv
