Good Resource for Finding Java Developer for Startup?

Not sure if this is the appropriate to place to post but we are looking for an interested Java developer to come onboard our very small (2 man) startup to help us with our networked Java application.
I have looked around a little online and not found much so does anybody know where is a good place to scout out such persons? Admittedly we are not flush with $ but we do have some and we would be providing equity along with ongoing cash payment. Of course we also understand we won't be getting the best Java guru out there but then we don't really need that either, just someone capable of simple socket programming, swing and basic SQL stuff. Not rocket science, and we would even consider less experienced developers with a keen interest to learn and use this as an opportunity to develop some new real-world skill so their own. We are very laid back.
Any help appreciated.

I'd try one of:
Your local Entrepreneurs meetup
- there's bound to be one, and people who go along to this sort of thing will either be able to recommend someone or you might even meet the right sort of Java dev there.
The Joel On Software jobs board
- because the right sort of people read Joel On Software
Personal recommendations
- because that's always best; if you're not asking around like crazy, you should be.

    Basically you have a 99.9 percent Window's install so any Windows software issues are Microsoft problems.
    The only thing I can think of is the Microsoft servers were down briefly for maintenance or problems or maybe had a heavy load. If you were using the Auto update try going to the web site directly as they should be on another server.
    You might also try the Microsoft Window XP forums and see what you can find. Maybe search for: "Security Update stalls"?
    From what I've read just turning virus protection off doesn't work sometimes, you may have to UN-install it to get it to work.
    "Permissions" pertains to MAC SOFTWARE only. 3rd party software or Windows files are NOT affected at all by running permissions. Besides, it will only work on a HD with a Mac operating system anyway. You can't even select the Window partition in permissions to try it anyway.
    Good luck....

    yes, that's the only decent book covering most of the exam curiculum (but NOT all of it, check the exam specs versus the book content to know what you are missing).
    I'm working on the same material, and boy is it a lot...
    Dry, boring stuff most of it.

  • Code for finding CPU utilisation for executing query

    Hi, i need code for finding CPU utilisation for executing the particular query.

    Use session tracing, then in trace file you can find cpu utilization for particular statement on each phase: parse, execute, fetch and the overall.
    Or You can use the dbms_utility.get_cpu_time (if your database is 10g) in pl/sql:
    declare
    cpt1 pls_integer;
    cpt2 pls_integer;
    cputime pls_integer;
    begin
    cpt1:=sys.dbms_utility.get_cpu_time;
    <some code here>
    cpt2:=sys.dbms_utility.get_cpu_time;
    cputime:=cpt2-cpt1;
    end;
    good luck

  • Posting for non-java development?

    Greetings,
    I'm not having much luck with the forum and I was thinking it may be my selection of forum area to post in. I'm currently developing in C on an E25K running Solaris 10. I'm trying to write high-performance code to take advantage of my environment and I need to know where I can post questions about topics such as threading, memory use, the vm system, disk subsystem, etc..
    I'm not looking for answers to questions like "how do I make a thread?", but more along the lines of "when does the vm system start to discard pages of a mmap'd file that was advised of sequential access?"
    Thanks for the help, any pointing in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.
    Matthew

    Well, I do try to write good posts, but I suppose that is subjective. Also, sometimes the problem is complex and will take an iterative conversation to come to a resolution or useful information.
    I do a lot of RTFM'ing and can usually find solutions to specific problems (2 + 2 == 4, etc..) ;-) However, recently I find myself needing to understand some things that would require a bit of low-level knowledge of the kernel or disk layer, etc.. Yes, the Solaris code is open and I could read it, but time is a factor, as well as the ability to actually understand such code as the VM paging system, for example. I think I'm a good programmer, but not that good, yet...
    I see a lot of unanswered posts in the forums so maybe the community is simply too small for the topic? Or does everyone pay for their support, thus making the forums less of a resource? I was surprised (in a good way) that Sun sells developer support for only $500 a year; IMHO that makes it available to many software developers. However, in my situation I'm not willing to pay out of pocket when the company I work for could easily have such a contract with Sun (but they don't). Thus, I'm trying my only other option, these forums.
    Thanks for the feedback. I'll try to write better posts.

  • Education for a Java Developer - Informal Survey

    I was wondering what is the education level of most Java developers. Do you have a SCJP ceritifcate? What degree did you get in college?
    Just curious.
    Cheers.

    For myself, I have a BS degree in Computer Science. I have been working as a developer for 5 years. I started as a VB programmer, and the past 2 years have been doing Java programming. I am currently studying for the SCJP exam and thinking about working on a Master's Degree in Software Engineering. The University of Maryland has a good online program.
    What roads have people traveled to get to the top of their profession?

  • Need suggestion for choosing Java development enviroment

    Hi Evereyone,
    I am new to Java Desktop Application.I need help on choosing proper Java technologies and development tool.
    We have an existing CLIENT/SERVER based distributed control system, which was developed in C++(Server side) and VB(Client GUI).Now we are think of migrating the system to Java platform.
    Here is the outline:
    We want to create web based application that will run on windows and linux (linux on embedded PC).
    The application should be able to support 10 � 100 users at once accessing/editing database.
    We will also need to create a communication server that will run on web server P.C. that will communicate tcpip to field panels/log to db, as well as allow web screens to send/receive commands with field panels etc.
    Could any one give me some suggestion about it?
    I am thinking of Using J2SE 5.0, including RMI, JDBC and Swing for GUI. As for field panels, may choose J2ME.
    Thank you very much in advance.

    Thanks, zadok .
    Actually, I don't have the system requirements neither. All I know is the following outline:
    "We want to create web based application that will run on windows and linux (linux on embedded PC).
    The application should be able to support 10 � 100 users at once accessing/editing database.
    We will also need to create a communication server that will run on web server P.C. that will communicate tcpip to field panels/log to db, as well as allow web screens to send/receive commands with field panels etc."
    It is a interview question, which need me to do research and give some suggestions. What I want to know is to figure out what kind of Java technology is necessary for developing this system because I want to make sure I head to right direction.
    I know somehow it is hard to give suggestion based on this limited information.
    One more thing I was confusing is the server-side architecture.
    I need suggestion about sever side architecture:
    a. write a dedicated server-side program, which act
    as communication server to monitor and control field
    panel, also act as server-side applicaiton by using
    RMI to communicate with Client-side communication.
    b. choose a general web server architecture. Put
    everything in server side in Web Server, for example
    Tomcat AS container, implementing the Communication
    server as Web Service and the request from
    Client-side go to Web Server first, then dispatch to
    a proper web service.Why did you not include this information in the original question!
    Why don't you just use Tomcat?
    For your answer, "Why don't you just use Tomcat?", does it mean Tomcat without Web Service will be enough for this system development? Could you give me some detail about it?
    Thank you very much, zadok.

    But I am willing to accept this is a perhaps a small set of positives; and thier may be no point for many.
    I really don't like the fact that anyone wanting an Oracle (Enterprise Edition) SQL certification (without PL/SQL) has to go for SQL OCE. An earlier certification would be better.
    I generally like the CIW Database Design Specialist: (Exam 1D0-541) content .....
    I would certainly modify my earlier idea of 1z0-047 having as a pre-requisite an earlier SQL exam / certification as a pre-req ....
    And would certainly have 1z0-051 or CIW Database Design Specialist: (Exam 1D0-541) on the pre-req list ...
    ( There are precedents for non-oracle exams/certs being acceptable in lieu of an oracle exam .... eg LPIC-1 for 1z0-402 )
    ( There is however IMHO no precedent for an OCE exam having another exam as a precedent ).
    .... Apologies to original poster .... I may have sidetracked your orginal question with a slight debate.

  • Certification for WEB COMPONENT DEVELOPER FOR J2EE[tm]

    Hi all,
    I'm thinking of getting certified as a
    WEB COMPONENT DEVELOPER FOR J2EE[tm] PLATFORM.
    What is your experience? How do I prepare best for the exam?
    Any book / tutorial particulary useful?
    Thanks for your input!
    Anja

    For what its worth, I found this the easiest of the certifications (compared to Programmer and Developer). My 2 cents of advice includes:
    - Use the Sun objectives as the driver for your study. Review the objectives thoroughly and make detailed notes by section. http://www.javaranch.com/scwcdlinks.jsp has some good examples of this (plus a lot of other useful stuff). The exam is a bit of a memory test - you need to know details of the deployment descriptor, the taglib definition, listeners, the API etc.
    - Take the time to read the servlet and JSP specifications. Although on first sight these are large documents, much of them is reference material and they can be read in a couple of hours. They will help in making the detailed notes.
    - Go over the servlet API for the key methods.
    - If you've not been working with servlet/JSP technologies, read a good book on servlets / JSPs for general background.
    - Try a few mock tests, although there are far fewer available than for JCP. Avoid the ones that charge a fee - I found them less than helpful.
    - This is probably just me, but be careful if you book the test via the web. I did just that, and when I turned up at the test center they had never heard of me. Follow-up with a phone call to the actual center to ensure that they are expecting you.
    Good Luck!

  • Java Development for PDA

    Hi all,
    I intend to develop a multiplatform application that enables communication between devices using i.e. 802.11b. This application can be installed in a Laptop or a PDA. The application will use basic stuff like sockets and will perform most of all data management. There is no need for a GUI.
    The test environment i have right now is a Laptop running Windows XP and a HP iPAQ Pocket PC H5500 Series (Windows Mobile 2003).
    Since this kind of technology is totally new for me, The last couple of days i searched the internet in order to see which tools i would need in order to develop this application. The idea is to write the code once and the same code can run in these two devices. After all these days i still didnt find a concrete development platform for my application.
    My question is:
    Which VM (IBM J9, crEme, Jeode, etc..), Specification (CDC, CLDC, MIDP) and Profile ( i.e. Personal Profile) will be best to use?
    thank u for your time,
    CrisBento

    there's no CDC profile for the Palm OS (not that i heard of) and since you are not using any GUI..i would stick with CLDC and Foundation Profile.
    As for VM...IBM supports for the Palm OS and Pocket PC and cost about $5-$6 per VM (but you have to buy in bundle). Other VM iis a bit more expensive..Jeode is rather fast, but again expensive.
    Newer BlackBerry comes with a Java VM (CDC + Personal Java Profile, i believe)
