Hi there,
I've recently qualified as a SCWCD in which I got a 93%. I've been programming in various languages for applications and the internet in Java(2 months) VB and ASP(1 year), Coldfusion and XSL. These have all been resonably small projects. I've just moved to Barcelona in Spain and there is actaully quite a lot of movement in the market, especially for J2ee, Jsps, servlets etc. Of cource the problem is that there are a lot of cadidates with a hell of a lot more experience than my good self, so after about 6 interviews where they told me if I had some more experience in J2ee I would be in, I thought that I might get a part time job and develop something myself at home, is this wise.
If so can anyone advise me on the following.
1)An application server that is free for developing purpose apart from tomcat,
2)which is the best or preferred, ie weblogic vs websphere
3)A lot of companies are asking for Visual Age, should I use this
4)Whats the best UML editor that is free.
5)Is there any other technology that I should use the would help me sell myself.
6)Any other advise is welcome
Cheers in advance
Williery
