My company is looking for a Java programmer. Maybe someone here is interested? Requirements: Reasonable knowledge of software development. Experience developing with Java, especially Java Server Pages. Is passionate about their work. Can work with a team. Knows the basics of using Linux. Knows the basics of C, C++, PHP, and JavaScript is a plus. We don't care if you have a degree or not, as long as you know your stuff. We need ~20 hours a week. The position is long term, expect to be employed for a year, if not several. You can work from home, and we're quite flexible regarding the hours one works. If you're interested, let me know. Please send a resume. Also give me an idea of when you'd be able to start working. Let me know which country you're in, and if you're currently employed full or part time, or are a student. Please also include a rough idea of a salary you'd be expecting.

I don't program Java, but I'm interested in hearing what sort of work you guys do. Application development I'm guessing, mostly web-based?

We make different web based systems work together, and also provide some desktop applications to get a better experience out of web applications.

It would probably be helpful if you noted what country the company is located in, since presumably you're going to want people who can communicate with you in real time for some portion of the day. I'm not personally in the market for a second job, but I wish you luck.

Company is in Hong Kong, but it's not relavent because the employees are spread around the globe.

I'm surprised, don't we have more Java programmers around here?

I won't touch Java with a 10-foot pole.

You didn't ask if there are Java programmers here. You asked if someone wants a job. Different question.

Good point. Still, I thought I'd get a good half dozen people looking for a job with Java skills that'd be interested. As of five minutes ago, I only got half that.

I know java jsp C C++ php javascript and the linux command line, but I have no commercial experience with it (I'm fresh out of university). Or is that okay? I can send my resume if it is.

Have you done any real programming work?

What qualifies as real programming work? The most complex thing I've undertaken is (figuring out how it should work and) making an automated difficulty agent for an online flash rhythm game.

Make something ~2000 lines? Figured out APIs of existing platforms?

I feel I can say 'yes' to both, because I've done both, but it feels like a phony answer for some reason. Do you know what I mean? It's all work I've done for university, it's gone on for thousands of lines of code, done what it's meant to do, etc but it's not a polished, loved piece of work I can give to other people, just something I can talk about having done. I know what I need to do now, though - program something from start to finish, and blog about it as I do. Have something concrete that I'm proud of, and documented that it's done by me. I have something in mind, too, I've just never had the motivation to do it since there wasn't quite enough of a need for it. Sorry if I'm clogging up your thread with this, I just have to get this out somehow.

Knowing the language itself is not as important as having experience at programming (and, when speaking about Java, programming in imperative and object-oriented languages). Of course knowing the language itself thoroughly helps a lot (so that you know how things should be done with that particular language, what are the efficient and the inefficient ways of doing things in that language and so on), but programming experience in general moreso.
