I am sure you would. But this thread is a violation of the rules and will be locked. I wanted to make sure he posted it in the right place.

I'll remember that when I'm your CEO.

I'm a freaking Java expert...I make two or more pots every day...


What? oh...THAT Java.

java developer? is that starbucks speak for coffee maker?

Bump!

Hope some of you kids got CS degrees.

<- The bomb in java.

so if im an expert java code monkey but don't have a BA i wont get hired? but if im a mediocre java code monkey and have a BA in art i would to the front of the line?

Expert software engineer w/o a CS degree hardly happens anymore. Reading Java for dummies doesn't amount to the same thing as the degree.

bull. i know many who are expert coders who have degree outside of the CS world.

Still is very possible; a degree doesn't necessary facilitate the skills you have. The cases may be rare where there is a super java guru without a degree, but this exists. This is not the norm but the exception. The degree gives HR a way to filter out the massive amounts of resumes. You may miss out on some super java gurus, but that is the chance you take as it not the norm and have to have a way to filter resumes;

It would take a very long time to get the full breadth of what you're doing - how the OS allocated heap and fills the stack, how the VM handles it, basic computational foundations (bytecode -> assembly -> binary, prime hashing, static caching etc etc), memory management and garbage collection yada yada. As I said before, it hardly happens anymore.

Also I've never seen a BA in computer science, only BS.

I hate to agree but I will. Last generation you could get away with being smart and knowing how to code with no degree. Now, you can't get past the resume filters without a degree.

I would venture a guess that it's got to do with the ever-increasing complexity of the problems being solved. Polynomial time problems that were practically infeasible a decade or two ago can now be cracked in a reasonable amount of time etc.

I think it has to do more with the fact that it doesn't take much to go online and learn to code. Back in the day, you got a book and cranked out samples. Now, if I need to figure out another language, there are a ton of online tutorials to walk you through it.

More people with the same skills = more applicants for the same jobs

Depending on experience...anywhere from 65K - over 100K

i just got a "new" job in the DC metro area doing Java development.

and by "new" i mean my previous employer lost the contract and the new company came in and hired me with a 36&#37; raise.

i LOL at baltimore! hate that place!

You can't just pick up a new language on a whim if you don't understand the theory. You can code in any freakin' language you want if you know the theory.

Baltimore? No, thanks.
