Do you know WebSphere? AIX and Solaris UNIX? OS/390? Are you Java certified by Sun and IBM? Can you debug and profile distributed applications? Do you have experience in VisualAge for Java or WebSphere Studio? Can you write shell scripts for the UNIX korn shell, write, debug and deploy Enterprise Java Beans? Do you know MQSeries? Do you know SOAP, WSDL and UDDI? Do you know mainframe and distributed DB2? Do you know Oracle 8i?

I can get you a job paying good money in a Fortune 500 company right now if you know these things.

[ComputationalComplexity]

Dude, I know about 90% of the software development tools you just mentioned, but then again, I'm bringing home a 6 figured salary and going to grad school at the same time, so give it to Fugitive for pity's sake.

[The FRugitive]

Unfortunately I'm not experienced in any of that stuff except for Oracle.

My experience is 6 years client/server application development with Borland Delphi (with SQL Server and Oracle back ends). Delphi is all I've done since college and since there have been so few Delphi developers my salary has been great since I graduated.

Now there are no Delphi jobs and I find myself too specialized. I need to pick up some more mainstream skills as soon as I have the opportunity.

All of them?

[PFKEY]

Agreed, There are plenty of great jobs out there with Fortune 500 companies.

I'm most familiar with UNIX/AIX, OS/390, MQSeries and DB2.

[Lazamataz]

Do you know WebSphere?

Weblogic, but I understand the concepts are the same. I implemented Weblogic for a B2B.

AIX and Solaris UNIX?

No, but I am a Linux-y kinda guy; putting RedHat 7.3 on a spare box here at home.

OS/390?

Nope.

Are you Java certified by Sun and IBM?

I'm not certified, but I've been programming Java for about 3 years. I'm versatile with JDK1.1 through 1.3. Haven't messed with the 1.4 JDK yet. Anything there worth going into it for?

Can you debug and profile distributed applications?

Of course!

Do you have experience in VisualAge for Java or WebSphere Studio?

No, my primary IDE has been Borland's JBuilder. NICE, does everything the other guys can and then some.

Can you write shell scripts for the UNIX korn shell,

Kinda, what with my Linux hands-on.

write, debug and deploy Enterprise Java Beans?

Of course! I'm deeply into J2EE. Stateful session, stateless session, Entity, Messaging -- what type do you need? I've puzzled through JNDI, written JSP, servlets, applets, even applications.

Do you know MQSeries?

No.

Do you know SOAP, WSDL and UDDI?

Sure! Who doesn't! .NET has some interesting new applications of this technology. System.Reflection gives you a lot of power making assemblies reveal their interfaces to ya.

Do you know mainframe and distributed DB2?

Never touched DB2 but have a lot of time in SQL, various implementations.

Do you know Oracle 8i?

Somewhat, have had a little time on that.

I'm deeply into .NET these days. Java will be seriously challenged by .NET. It is fully web-services aware, is a language agnostic framework, and is a very rich environment. I've been doing C#.NET, ASP.NET (and WinForms), ADO.NET and a touch of VB.NET. VERY COOL STUFF....

I can get you a job paying good money in a Fortune 500 company right now if you know these things.

No thanks; they are paying me too well and giving me too cool a set of technologies for me to want to leave. ;^)
