Ask HN: In Trouble for using company database structure for a graduate project?

from the ask-hn dept.

Eventually, I would like to pitch it to the senior developers who can then pitch it to my manager. Don't worry I will use sample data.<p>You might say to ask my manager but he/she doesn't support my graduate degree. Said "it will not benefit the department". Dead end there. However, I do believe this project WILL add tremendous value. Let me know what you guys think.

Hey awesome I have been in the same boat using the Pomodoro Technique where they have an Activity Inventory ("hopper") and a To Do Today List ("do today"). It's just this technique has a process for unproductive people like me to follow hehe.

Software Engineer Masters = I HOPE SOME WHAT Benefit Web Developer?

from the self-post dept.

I am currently a Coldfusion/Actionscript Developer.. Tired of my current job of 5 years. So I went back for my Masters in Software Engineering. I tried CPSC, but couldn't get my classes. Anywho,I have 2 more semesters to go. So far it is of course theoretical. But it seems this major is targeted towards lower level and defense systems, not web. God dammit, how bad was this decision? I figure I...

Thanks bro, u guys are tight. Let's see, I am a coldfusion developer and use dreamweaver at work but on PC. I've also done some flex apps using flashbuilder which is eclipse. I guess I could use dreamweaver or eclipse for mac.... I googled mac ide reviews, but i'm still on the fence. I'm sure i could find an unused copy of zend studio. I was just wondering what does industry use, if I wanted to switch over to be a php developer. I was hoping to get a majority vote on an IDE but ur right, it is opening a can of worms.

That is true, who are they to look down on me for giving an honest answer. I already tried that many times haha, bottom line was I didn't have an engineering degree!
