I have a friend who was layed off of her job of 25 years, she is now 47 years old. She hasn't been working now for two years. She has applied to many jobs but she is having a hard time finding a job. It is starting to effect her pyschologically, and I dont know how to help. She needs resources. I would love, if you all could give me some websites or phone number relevant to helping people in need of a boost in life. She lives in Washington DC.
Does anyone know of any programs in the Washington D.C area that may assist the unemployed with resources?
Have her go to one of these offices to ask for assistance. There may be programs that can help retrain her for another job (called the Workforce Investment Act).

Beside writing T-SQL queries does a SQL Server 2005 Administrator needs to know programming?
I was wondering if a SQL Server 2005 Administrator or Developer needs to have a deep knowledge in C# or other NET languages?? I mea n is it required? I was under the impression that SQL %26amp; T-SQL programming and SQL Administratives tasks were the only requirement to apply for a sql server job??
Thanks.
Beside writing T-SQL queries does a SQL Server 2005 Administrator needs to know programming?
In Database System, SQL language doesn't enough, so they provide us with built-in function like TODAY, DECODEDATE, etc. but that doesn't enough either, so we need to build our User Defined Function eg: to count char in one field, to know the size of blob data, etc... and one thing i know is User Defined Functions are build with another programming language like C++ (we can build it with Delphi too , but is not common).
if your job as Administrator is just to maintain, backup and fine-tune the database then you don't need any other programming language except Sql.
but if your job as SQL server application developer, then you need other programming language to interact with Sql server.
Reply:see it totally depends on the requirement. Actually If you are DBA i means SQl Admin u don't require But see sometimes If your Project is engaged with C# based Project using SQl as backend may be then. Even I wonder on that.
Thanks.

Gross Receipts on Schedule C?
I am putting this in this category as well for more answers before I input my information into my tax program.
****I am an independant contractor and this is my first year filing for my business.
I received a form 1099-misc from the company I did work for, and I have income under box 7 "non-employee compensation".
I keep getting an error when I e-file my return in regards to the Gross Receipts portion on Schedule C cannot be left blank or zero...but I don't know what the Gross Receipts are.
Can anyone clarify for me in "laymen's terms"?
I'm just not getting it and the tax preparer site I'm using is either vague, or I'm just too tired to "get it" right now. haha
Thanks!***
Also, someone did answer in the other category and said that gross receipts meant put in my income there.
Does this mean my business only income, or the business income plus the W-2's from my husband and my other jobs?
Thanks again!
Gross Receipts on Schedule C?
Gross receipts is the total amount you received in compensation as reflected on the Form 1099. You should also include other money paid to you for your services for which you may NOT have received a 1099.
Reply:Your earnings as an independent contractor would go on the Gross Receipts line on Schedule C or C-EZ.
W-2 income would go on Line 7 of Form 1040.
Reply:The answer given by Jwishz is correct.
I would add that it sounds like you're in over your head at this point, and I would recommend having your taxes prepared by a professional (note: not a storefront tax prep company) this year. Even if not much money is made, returns for self-employed individuals can be much more complicated than those who get their incomes solely from W2s.

Programmers, If i have the choice to take C# in sch, on top of my C++. Should I take it?
I heard programming is vital to the world and I really need someone who is damn pro to explain to me how all the C,J,Java,VIsual Basic really works and what its can do, how it relates to my future job as engineer, so on and so forth. Thanks alot.
Programmers, If i have the choice to take C# in sch, on top of my C++. Should I take it?
You should definitely complement your C++ studies by taking C# courses.
C# was developed in 2000 and is known as Microsoft's flagship language. It is said to resemble both Java and C++. Many engineers seem to prefer C# over both Java and C++. C# programming has quickly become a "hot" job skill. Programmers that have experience with C# and related technologies are likely to be in high demand for the foreseeable future.
The C# language is an object-oriented language that is aimed at enabling programmers to quickly build a wide range of applications for the Microsoft .NET platform. The goal of C# and the .NET platform is to shorten development time by freeing the developer from worrying about several low level plumbing issues such as memory management, type safety issues, building low level libraries, array boundschecking , etc. thus allowing developers to actually spend their time and energy working on their application and business logic instead. The previous sentence could be described as "a short description of the Java language and platform" if the words C# and the .NET platform were replaced with words Java and the Java platform. Easier than C++. The C# language may share resources with other languages under a common runtime. Concurrent to java, runs on .NET or compatible platforms (Portable NET, Mono).

C
C is a popular language, especially in game programming, because it doesn't have the extra packaging of the object-oriented C++. Programmers use C because it makes programs slightly faster and smaller than programs written in C++. You might wonder, however, whether it's worth giving up the reuseability of C++ to get the small increase in performance with C, especially when C++ can, where necessary, be written in a C programming style. C offers great freedom, and lot of debugging challenges-thanks to pointers and memory management. Suffering slow programming to make fast programs. It is primarily used for system programming.
--------
C++
C++ is C plus objects, an extended library, templates. C++ is great for system programming—like C—but allows for larger project, or applications. C++ is well-suited for large projects because it has an object-oriented structure. People can collaborate on one program by breaking it up into parts and having a small group or even one individual work on each part. The object-oriented structure also allows code to be reused a lot, which can cut down development time. C++ is also a fairly efficient language - although many C programmers will disagree.
--------
JAVA
Java Was designed to be portable and to replace C++. Java is a multi-platform language that is especially useful in networking. Of course, the most famous usage of Java is on the web, with Java applets, but Java is also used to build cross-platform programs that stand alone. Since it resembles C++ in syntax and structure, learning Java is usually quite easy for most C++ programmers. Java offers the advantages provided by object-oriented programming, such as reusability; on the other hand, it can be difficult to write highly efficient code in Java, and Swing, its primary user interface, is notoriously slow. Nevertheless, Java has increased in speed in recent years, and version 1.5 offers some new features for making programming easier.
The two most attractive aspects of Java are that it can be a safe language (all errors are caught by the compiler or bytecode checker or cause runtime exceptions), and its portability (especially its wide range of standard libraries).

ASP.NET, C#, and VB.NET are all the same platform! You can do exactly the same things with VB.NET and C#. In theory, every program that can be written in one .NET language can be written in the other—producing exactly the same binary code. ASP.NET is just the web toolkit, like JSP in Java. When you add them together, it's Microsoft.NET.

Reply:okay,
if you intend to work on industrial programming, use C++, because most of the machines exist today still programmed on C/C++..and if you intend to work on microsoft platform use C#,,or any other .net language (all the same).
p.s. C++ = slow production %26amp; powerfull results on all platforms.
C#/VB = fast production %26amp; powerfull results on win platform only.

Visual c++ or vb.net?
compare visual c++ and vb.net in following fields:
1.easy to learn
2.powerfull
3.portable
4.job
5.size of code
6.system programing
7.etc
Visual c++ or vb.net?
The comparison in VC++ and vb.net is as follows
1.easy to learn: if you do not know C/C++ then vb.net is easier to learn. if you had prior experience of programming in c/c++ then vc++ is easier.
2.powerful: for normal desktop applications both are equally powerful. but if you want to develop something for speed and require machin interaction there is no other choice except vc++. it has the power to compile to machine native code.
3.portable: the code for both is not portable but in vc++ you can write portable code. the vb.net code will only run with vb.net compiler
4.job: a vb.net developer will get job in application software industry and web development companies. a vc++ developer will get job in hardcore software companies, making device drivers etc. in the long run vc++ is much better.
5.size of code: the size of code depends on the problem being solved. in general both require same amount of code
6.system programing: system programming in vb.net is limited to the use of builin APIs and managed libraries. vc++ can usher you in a world of unlimited hardware and system access.
7.etc : in miscellaneous terms if you wish to develop small time application needed to run on desktops and you are not going for speed of processing, then vb.net is the ultimate choice. if you wish to develop for speed and power then VC++ rules the programming world.
Reply:1.easy to learn
VB %26gt; C++
2.powerfull
C++ %26gt; VB
3.portable
Both rely on Windows API.
4.job
?
5.size of code
C++ produces smaller and more efficient code, but vb.net also get some serious CLR optimizations.
6.system programing
? check out avalon and indigo services in the upcoming windows vista, .net will be much more powerful in the future, for the current OS es it is C++ who rules.

How long would it take to learn C++ at an hour or 2 a day for game design?
I'm thinking about getting into game design and I hear C++ is the perfect place to start and to learn that first. I took Visual Basic in high school a couple years ago and was in the top 2-3 in my class. However i dont remember much of it now since it was 2 years ago and i havent practiced, but im sure i can remember it once i get into it again.
They were going to put me in AP Java afterwards but i didnt go because at the time i found VB boring (I should've gone i would be landing jobs left and right right now but oh well). I think it was because i had no incentive to code. They only had us doing boring stuff like making restaurant programs or calculators or something, so i never continued with it, it was annoying having to do cheap programs just because everyone else couldnt keep up. Anyway given my backround and stuff, how long would it take to learn C++? on my own without classes.

dude VB is a joke no offense.
C++/VC/C.NET/C.# , there are load of tutorials on the Internet just google them, plus get a book, and practice
how long it will take? this question only you can answer.
Reply:C++ is no more difficult to learn that any other language - especially if like yourself you already know how to program. The structures are similar - only the syntax is different plus you need to get your head around object oriented programming and pointers. But I'm sure you can do that!
Most importantly - you need to understand Direct X. This is regardless or the language you choose. The good news is - Direct X 10 is easier to learn than any of its predecessors... And its a lot of fun!
Good luck

Programming games?
I heard that to get a game prgramming job, u should know C AND C++...I decided that since I'm in 9th grade right now, i should make myself familiar with C first since C++ is more complicated, i guess i should start with C first...anyone know the best tutorials to learn C online? I tried many such as the ones on cprogramming.com.........
Programming games?
Whether you start with C or C++, you'll need your own compiler so you can experiment with programming by yourself.
Other options to consider are going the library or bookshop and finding a book, or learning another programming language like Javascript first where you can test with your web browser (you don't need a compiler).
Try some of the links below to see if any of them suit you. Otherwise try a google or yahoo search with terms like
learn C online
or
C online course
or stuff like that.
Anyway, hope this helps.
Reply:Sign up for a programming course at school. Most high school's will have at least a course pre-AP Computer Science. It's very helpful to have a teacher that corrects your programs. good luck!
Reply:C and C++ are very similar, and so you don't have to learn C yet. C++ is not much more complicated. But if you don't know how to program yet, you might want to try programing in Python, before learning C++ because it is an easier and less complex language to learn. I actually started off by learning C++, then Java, C#, and Python, and I think Python is the easiest.
C++ Tutorial: http://www.cplusplus.com/doc/tutorial/
Oh yeah, and don't use Notepad. (horrible for this purpose). Use something like Microsoft's Visual C++ or something else.
Python tutorial: http://docs.python.org/tut/
For this, just download python (just google it) and click on the IDLE under the start menu (if you are using windows)
Good Luck!
(Also, if you are looking into game developement, try Blender. Its open source (free with the source code), and you can make games, but this uses python. For more game engines, go to http://www.devmaster.net/engines/list.ph... A lot of them are free, but others cost thousands of dollars.)
