Hi Michael, If you're prepared to work for free in return for a bit of coaching and mentoring, why not sign up with one to the many open source projects out there?
Any project worth its salt has a bug tracker with a large number of feature requests & you could choose a couple of simple ones to start on. I'm sure that once you have started implementing a feature you'll easily be able to find people in the discussion forum for the project who will be only too happy to review your code & offer pointers. The best thing is that because it's an open source project you'll be able to show your work to prospective employers (which isn't always the case with closed source code). Regards Bruce -- Bruce Clement When a co-worker said he didn't want his kids getting the H1N1 vaccine because it was too new and "they haven't tested it enough", I blurted out something like, "So you'd rather test a new and poorly understood virus on them instead?" I'm not entirely proud of fighting vague and irrational fear of the unknown by invoking vague and irrational fear of the unknown, but I think it did make an impression.
