A good developer have good analytics skills, it serves to deal with the, often vague, requirements of the end user, as well when you're dealing with the spaghetti code someone wrote 10 years ago, this is the most important skill; technologies, come and go, so I recommend you to stick with whatever they use, but also look for what technologies appear in the "news".
PS: Perhaps async programming and lambdas is the latest and the greatest in the .NET world, so it's a good place to start.

Reading, reading and reading.
1. Try to learn best practices in software development by reading materials such as .NET naming convention, C# syntax, Object Oriented Programming concepts, etc.
2. Try not to memorize the framework,but rather try to understand. The framework might be different in your next carrier.
3. Try to learn from people who has more experience, because this is the fastest way to learn. For better understanding - listen and experiment with the coding.
4. Do not right any complicated code during your first year.
5. Subscribe for computer news, MSDN magazine, etc.
In my opinion here are interesting articles to read

For his convenience you should have offered him to give you access to his paypal account or his credit card information, so you can send the 100 bucks to your account yourself. That way, it's a worry-free transaction, he has his account unlocked and the payment is taken care of as well.
I won’t not use no double negatives.

So, in my old house you could get a small 'shock', although that's probably a strong word for it from touching the metal light switches. It would be most noticeable if you gently stroked the switch (there are worse perversions) as a sort of fuzziness in your fingertips. One of those electrical tester screwdrivers lights up when you touch it.
Said light switches were earthed, but I guess it means the earth wire wasn't actually attached to the Earth and was floating.
My questions is where the electricity came from. I was thinking a short via a very high resistance somewhere but then I actually wondered whether it could be caused by induction, the wiring in the house acting as a very spread-out transformer as such.
Any thoughts from the electrically minded?
Regards,
Rob Philpott.

Get an electrician in.

Well, it's been like that for four years. I just started using plastic light switches in the end. Clever huh?

Not if you've got an earth that isn't earthing.

No, not really.
What it means is that your earth is not connected. pretty much anywhere, but certainly in your lighting circuit.
Which means your appliances aren't earthed either, most likely.
Since this isn't tripping your RCD (which has earth leakage detection and should shut down if any live reaches the earth) that probably means you don't have one. So an "good" electrical fault could leave the casing of your washing machine live, for example. Or start a fire. Or hurt children or the elderly.
This is not a good thing.

Fair enough, I'll heed your very sensible advice.

Nope. Still failing to see the downside.

Some people love their children. (Presumably because they still have the receipt and they are still in warranty)
And many old folk can afford good lawyers.

I'm with Griff, the earth loop is live. Was in a student house with a live earth loop didn't know anything about it until got a shocked off the Washing machine, Landlord argued that it was safe as there was an RCD trip, told him how an RCD worked we had an Electrician around at 08:00 am next day. Get it sorted and quick!

With both G's, get a Sparky in to sort out the earth.
|

It could be even worse - it might be that the earthing point for the house is not connected properly and something else is shorting to earth (via the light sockets and ultimately* via you).
|
|
|
|
|
Also - when testing a circuit that may be live, put your left hand in your back pocket.
That way any electricity will not have a path across your heart.
You use your back pocket because a large shock will cause your hands to clench....and you don't want that to happen in your front pocket

I can testify to that, I am missing the pad of one finger & the tip of an other (and some scars on my chest!). I was zapped by a mis-wired kit.

Yeah, I got a 40 seconds blast through the chest when I was 6. Wasn't much fun actually and it burnt a hole right to the bone in my right hand. They grafted skin from the back of my then hairless fingers over it with the consequence that I now have a hairy part of my palm-cum-finger.
Nice one NHS. Having said that, I don't know where to find skin without any hair, soles of the feet maybe.

Rob Philpott.

So...you are admitting to having "hairy palms" and blaming it on "Electricity"?
