oh, also, it is the first time you've seen me post because it is the first time I've posted. Imagine my surprise to find there was anybody still listening!
hey, did I read correctly that you're studying to be a software engineer? Welcome to the club. Do you have any specific aspirations, or are you just looking to be another run-of-the-mill computer programmer?
run of the mill i guess. i just want a job that will pay me for now really, i'm graduating this spring. last semester me and a couple of other guys did this project using asp and working with a SQL database and shit, it was pretty cool actually. i think i like that stuff, but normal c programming isn't bad either.
are you still studying or did you graduate already? i can't remember how old you are.
heh, I'm 30 and have been an employed programmer for about 8 years.
My main areas of focus, I guess, would be web-languages (html, javascript, css) + PHP for server-side processing. Database backends I work with are mainly IBM's DB2 and Firebird SQL.
There's plenty of other stuff I get into here and there, such as ASP, SQL Server, some desktop database system like Access or dBase, compiled languages such as C or especially Borland Delphi.
In school, I think the only tangibles I learned were C++, a little assembly, and a little Pascal. I got some database theory, but never worked with a real SQL database. But that was a long time ago. I'm sure the curriculums these days must include web-languages, scripting languages, and probably pretty heavy into Java and/or .NET, right?

But if you want a stab-in-the-dark answer, I would guess some time in mid-to-late 2003. Like August or so, maybe?
