What is your title if you don't mind?

I don't think I can stomach becoming a programmer but the IT jobs interest me. What is the job hierarchy for IT ?

My plan is to get a 2 year degree in information systems and get A+ , security + ... Is this this respectable in your opinion?

Thanks for the insight i really appreciate it

there is really no one job hierarchy other than everyone makes their start in IT in a support role...where you end up in IT depends on 1) what in IT interests you 2) what are the thing you need to make it happen after you do the research. It is very vast and you can make good money if you got the will and the way. how fast you want to get to get paid depends on how much effort and time you put in. thats real talk

and yes getting a degree in IS and certs is respectable

here's a easy one for yall....print out the items in the list that have the first character 'o' or the last character 'o'

show code

List someStringList = new ArrayList<String>();
someStringList.add("one");
someStringList.add("two");
someStringList.add("three");

I thought it would be neat to try this one using Java. It's been a while since I used Eclipse, Visual Studio has really spoiled me.

public static void main(String[] args) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub

ArrayList<String> someStringList = new ArrayList<String>();
someStringList.add("one");
someStringList.add("two");
someStringList.add("three");

for(int i = 0;i <= someStringList.size()-1; i++)
{

if (someStringList.get(i).startsWith("o") || someStringList.get(i).endsWith("o"))
{

System.out.println(someStringList.get(i));​

}​

}​

}

good job my boy...but write that for loop a lil more efficient for me

Whose on Sharepoint up in here?

My Co-Worker always tells me to learn it, he says his girl makes 96K in Seattle just doing sharepoint. She dumb as rocks.

I want to learn but don't know where to start.

I don't know Sharepoint, but I know there's a Microsoft cert for it. Look into that and then study for it. Also, I think there's a CBT nuggets series on Sharepoint.

 

[Hahahaha]

We deploy some of our reports to sharepoint. I think yo man was lying because sharepoint ain't nothing but a fukking Web server for communication lol. You post a report and send everyone the link lol.

Sharepoint developers/admins definitely make good money.

 

[Hahahaha]

I'm switching into management soon. Has anyone taken any of the ITIL exams besides Foundation? Think I might go down that path just hoping it's not horribly boring.

it's true they make a lot of money i dont understand it tho. when i was an intern during my undergrad they put me on a project where i had to do some shyt using sharepoint (having never done it before)
it's pretty straight forward, i was decent a few weeks in. i always thought that shyt was retarded
i was randomly looking at jobs in chicago a week or so ago and saw a listing for a 'sharepoint business analyst'.. salary range was 90k-110k

my nicca....you are learning grasshopper

however for string or chars use .equals() for comparison not ==

you use .equals for char? Char isn't an object like a string is so you can use ==

I was thinking of subString..yeah you can use ==
