hey dude, unfortunately I don't have the honour of
working with Java much in my daytime job, but my first love is Java (surely
yours too, if you take a pseudonym like "Java Mad"?) - so my Java time is
between 8pm and 2pm, depending on deadlines from my job and entertaining the
wife and kids - and yes I'm one of those guys in a catch-22 situation where I
desperately want to get into a company where Java is used as a primary
technology and get some intense real-world experience with it, but because I
don't already have the experience I can't get seem to get that
opportunity.
So, i guess i'll have to continue working with the
"inferior" technology that I'm paid to use, and keep twisting my boss's arm into
letting me squeeze a bit of Java in here and there to get me some level of
experience that might one day be enough to get that Java job I dream
of....

needed
Well i can meet up with that requirement too Riaan
Send it on... if you want it in Java ill give it in Java
But then again... when will i have time during the day
unfortunately i have a 8-5 job and after that its my time...
Java
Mad.
I am going to quote Quinton: "...and when you say you
want
to work with Java, they say 'Yes, _javascript_ is one of the
skills
our client is looking for'..."
Therefore, when we require applicants
to write a Java
application, _javascript_ and _vbscript_ unfortunately does
not
count.
JSP, Servlets, Beans, classes does.
