Eh? 'Right to work' laws do not give you the right to use other people's property without their consent. Suppose you wrote a banking application for the green screen in RPG for the Bank of Transylvania. Would you expect that you had the 'right' to show that application to *any* outside entity for *any* purpose? Would you expect that you had the right to use a dial-up connection that you once used as an employee to enter their system and show it to someone else (for your own purposes)? If you would: think again. 'Right to work' protects you from 'non-compete' clauses and such. It does NOT absolve you from any non-disclosure that you might have signed, and in particular it does NOT absolve you from federal laws against entering a computer without permission. Indeed, if you did either of these things in an interview with me, you would disqualify yourself from employment. If, on the other hand, you could talk in general terms about the project and the problems you solved and what you learned, you would earn my respect. >I don't sweat it as long as I'm demonstrating functionality I was solely >responsible for creating. Now if I was working off a clear >functionality spec from a client, then I tend not to show that code ;). When you work for someone, your 'creations' are not yours. They are theirs. And you must respect their property. Period.
