Do employers really put much stock in Microsoft certification for programmers? Like, how much?

I was a programmer for 4 years ending 12 years ago. Back then it was all procedural, not object oriented. Now I'm 45. On the other hand, I'm bright and motivated (and for what it's worth, I've got a Bachelor's degree in engineering from 20 years ago). If I work hard and learn what I need to, is...

hi, i'm new. does anybody know what managed applications are?

I'm going out on a limb with this question, so please excuse the possible stupidity: I take it asp.net is a language for client-side web development, which can be used with Visual Web Developer, which is a kind of IDE for client-side web development?

I've been out of the industry too long and I'm confused. I thought C# was one of a number of languages built on the "Microsoft .NET Framework" managed code programming model. Yet people use the term ".NET" as if it was the name of a language. Also: technically, isn't ANYTHING that's not system...

The vast majority of webservers run Unix, Windows or Linux. Windows has an approximately 35% share of the webserver market. C# and other .NET languages run under Windows and also, via Mono 2.0, under some other operating systems, including Linux and Unix. C# is probably the hottest language in...

So...i've been playing poker for years and years now. I've been looking into ways that will give me an edge without breaking the rules in online poker. So using a Bot that will play the game and hacking are out of the question... and out of my ability ^_^. What I can do that is legal is take the...

Please excuse what may be a very stupid question from a onetime programmer who is very seriously considering trying to break back into the industry: In today's web-based technologies, client-side apps run in browsers and are typically written in Java, Perl, Javascript, etc., and server-side apps...

Can anyone tell me what op sys's are usually run on website servers?

Can anyone tell me on what platforms C# and other .NET languages are typically run (and, if possible, in what kinds of applications)?

I want to start off by saying that I know almost nothing at all about programming. I have an idea of something that I want to try and do, but I don’t know what the best type of programming would be. I don’t really plan on doing this my self I just would like to know what type of programmer to...

I've been out of computer programming for several years and my skills are no longer current. (I used to be an applications programmer.) What does everyone think would be the best skill set to develop in order to re-enter programming as quickly as possible, and what would be the best (and most...

The system under consideration: Figure 1 depicts a drive system for a heavy mechanical load (e.g. a large plate mill). The system features high inertia, frictional effects and relatively long driveshaft (which can therefore exhibit a certain amount of 'springiness'). ...

I am a retired electrical engineer that writes programs that interest me. I suppose I would be considered a hobby programmer. I am currently using VC++6. My grandson just gave me Visual Studio 2005 (new in the box) thinking he was giving me the latest version. I think he can exchange it for Visual...

Hi, friends. I'm a new Glomosim's user. I've installed Glomosim. And I can use Glomosim with command string. I have VT as well. But I can't use it. When I'm making my simulation (config.in as an example) I have nothing on my window (I don't see any nodes and transitions). I have J2SDK, and J2...

Hi, how would you use "if" to find if variable A is between 40 and 100? if ( A = < 100 ) + if ( A = > 40 ) //I know that's wrong but maybe you'll know what I mean better.
