Junior / Intermediate Software Developer - Calgary, Alberta Region Only

We are currently hiring software developers and looking especially for LabVIEW experienced developers. The positive is for a full time software developer who can apply existing LabVIEW skills or is keenly interested to develop in LabVIEW by applying other programming language experience. Please, candidates must be local for interview and the position, no remote options for this role.
You can read the full job description for this position and details about how to apply at our site here:
http://www.advmeas.com/about/career/

It is quite a career change, but I think that is expected that most people will go through a couple of them in their careers. Any programming experience will help you greatly.
To answer your specific questions, at least the ones I am knowledgeable about..
1 & 2. I think the difference between a junior and intermediate and guru is mainly length of time working in the industry developing these type of applications. Flex is still new for the most part. You should be familiar with ActionScript3. You should be familiar with XML and other web standards. A lot of the Flex programmers I know deal with all aspects of the development including the database, middleware (CF, .NET, Java, Ruby, etc..), so familiarity with that will help you. my impulse is to tell you to learn C# and .NET given your C expeience, however I honestly don't know how much C / Assembler experience will apply to C#. Knowing about relational databases won't hurt you either. There are jobs where you just do Flex and someone else builds the services / database for you, but knowing the backend piece will help you.
3. Not at all! Most people doing Flex have very little Flash experience. They come from web developer backgrounds dealing with middleware and database programming, not from a Flash / design backgrond.
4. Adobe has formal courses. There is also the learn flex in a week videos. If you like podcasts, listen to The Flex Show which has both audio interviews and screencasts.
5.Working on Open source projects will help you more than hurt you. You'll get contacts, and experience. It is easier to get the job if you can offer samples of your work.
6-7. I can't help withi nterview or salary questions, sorry. I think that is pretty company specific and region plays into it too.
8. There is a huge demand for Flex Developers. It is a growing technology. I expect the demand to keep up for a while.
I hope some of this is useful.

Have you filled this position? I'm interested, but don't know about the Canadian work requirements. I'm a U.S. citizen, working in the U.S. I'd assume that it wouldn't be that difficult to get the Canadian permission...
Also, would you consider someone for remote employment with occasional trips to the facility?
Thanks!

Need help in Point-of-Sales software developing guide

i was required to developed a new Point-of-Sales software for my new company. however, i do not know where to start. i'm new to POS software, so if anyone who has experience in Point-of-sales software development, plz drop a hint or two for me.
i guess the biggest problem for me is to detecting and communicating with the Barcode Scanner, Receipt printer, Cash Drawer and Pole Display. i would appreciate for the advise on how to achieve this.
tks

well, the things is like this:
the existing system is actually maintain by the ex-staff of the company. however, due to some unknown circumstances, all of them left within a very short period of time. and now, we were hired.
the whole things a mess. bugs everywhere. so the only solution the management would accept is to re-develop the whole POS and Inventory system. but non of us have any experience in developing such system and we don't have any documentation for the existing system. Now the management would like to see a prototype, a simple POS system that can perform simple operation - scan barcode, display the price at the pole display, 'kick-out' the cash drawer and print the receipt.
i have done a bit part of research, download some Java-based POS such as JPOS, JavaPOS, and FreeMercator. but i don't really get the idea of how to communicate with the devices. and now the management decided to change all the POS peripherals, so i can tell which brand that we are going to use.
for your question:
Do you already have an inventory control system in place? yes, but no good. no doc as well.
If so you'll want to integrate with that, which could get hairy depending on the system. What's your intended architecture? each store will have their own database. however, they will export their data to the HQ every morning before business hour. the export process of the current system is to extract the data from the database to MS Access DB, then send to the HQ through email.
May I ask why you chose Java to develop this system in?Linux + Postgre + Java = minimum development cost. the company wanted to keep cost at the minimum level.
actually, i do not worry bout the inventory system. all i care is how to communicate with the devices, because this is the first time that i deal with all these POS devices.
besides, i'm not sure if i have to pay attention to any thing like drivers, or whatever standard, etc... and it will be the most appreciate if you can show me (or links to websites) some sample of how to detect and communicating the devices.
lastly, many tks to you for your advice ;)
have a nice day

I would like to use Java version 6.

Hi John,
I sort of remember Java 6 being IntelMac only...
Once you’ve gotten logged in, go to Downloads, select “Java” on the right hand side of the page, and download the Java SE 6 beta. Note: this is only available for Intel Macs running Tiger or Leopard — if you’ve got a G4 or G5, you’re out of luck right now

But here they are...

Can I do Java 6 development in OS X?...

Software Development Management- How?

Hi There,
Does anyone know of a good way to manage software development (in
Labview)?
I've been the only programmer in Labview at my company, so tracking
software changes wasn't too bad. We recently hired a couple of
engineers who also program Labview. Now we're at a point where there
are many versions of the same software springing up. No one here has
any knowledge of software management tools available (except a
spreadsheet program, and a magnetic marker board).
Any links or suggestions are welcomed.
Kind Regards,
-Dorian

A critical part of any source code management is the human level:
deciding which developer will touch what VIs! Then you choose a tool.
We use MS Visual SourceSafe and it works OK for 2 developers.
I've used it on my own for 3 years.
Availabl
e standalone or as part of Visual Studio.
I also know people at a systems integrator (NI Alliance member) who use
it. They still use it for control of up to 20 developers' work.

Software developed before being hired litigation

This is my first post so please bear with me if I'm in the wrong place. I have a question which has more legal aspects associated with than technical.
I was asked by my ex employer to develop a demo website for one of their customers. To speed up the development of the demo in addition that we didn't have much time, I pulled out one of my old applications I have developed for one of my projects 2 years ago, and where much of its functions are being used by another application of my current customers such as Treeview navigation, users and groups and tabs navigation modules. It was in good faith and just to help them out speed up the demo and have something very quickly otherwise I would have never done that but just created some static screenshots.
So I took (copy/pasted) that application, created a new photoshop template with new icons and all the stuff and made some minor modifications to fit the whole thing fit with the ex employer demo requirements. The ex employer was impressed with how speedy the "development" of the demo was going into thinking that it was from scratch even if I was trying to make it clear that it wasn't the case.
Now after I got abusively fired by the ex employer for a reason that isn't relevant to be discussed here, he, as I'm sure you could guess, asked for the demo code. I provided them with the photoshop (psd layers file), the icons and other graphics and a complied (Java class files) version of the demo and told them that that what belongs to them.
The case of the firing will be soon heard in court in the coming months and I'm sure they will try to bring out the demo litigation even if it is not related to the case in an attempt to try to discredit me.
My question is how should I deal with this in court and how best to go about this before people who would have little if any computer and software knowledge since obviously I don't want to hand out the source code that I was working on for years before being hired by the ex employer?

I'm not a lawyer, but in most cases for things like writing, software development, etc., stuff is created as works-for-hire, which means that the employer owns all rights for work done as an employee.
If the stuff you gave the employer was used somewhere else already (and there are already paying customers for it), then arguably you didn't have the right to give the employer the code.
But all this is moot if you were never actually employed. If he paid you nothing, you owe him nothing. I suspect it would be very hard indeed for his lawyer to suggest that he owns all these materials if you were never compensated in any way for it or the additional effort you put in tweaking it.
Whenever I start a new job, there is pretty much always an addendum to the employment contract that lists prior inventions (which are thus not transferred to the new employer). Presumably, if you were hired by this employer, you would have listed this software on that addendum. If you didn't list it but signed a contract he probably wouldn't own the software, but it would be much harder to prove that. But since no contract was ever negotiated or executed (right?), I don't see how he could even use that.
In short: if there was no contract, and no payment on his side, it's ridiculous to assert that he owns everything. I suppose he could argue there was a verbal contract, but that would be difficult to prove anyway, and nearly impossible to believe if there is no compensation. I believe that contracts in which one side gains nothing are often considered void -- both sides gaining something is one of the bases of a valid contract.
So if you're telling the truth, the only way he could win this is if he's lying, possibly via a convincing lawyer.
Just hire an additional lawyer if you have to for god's sake. You probably don't need a software law specialist, because prior works as a principle probably applies to all kinds of work-for-hire contracts, but if your lawyer feels s/he needs the help, then just do it.
And don't work for scumbags next time. Anybody that insists on you working before signing a contract is suspect.

Software Developer API into Creative Sound Mi

Hi All
Not sure whether this is the right forum to ask software development questions but couldn't seem to find an appropriate forum.
I was wondering if Creative supplies an API (application programming interface) into its Surround Mixer Application.
The reason being that I have an Audigy 2 ZS and I want to programmatically adjust the volume on each of the 6 output channels (5.).
Thanks in advance.

Partner with a video editing software developer

I ONLY listen to music through Spotify. I hardly own any digital music anymore. But I run into a major problem when using my action cameras (a Garmin VIRB and GoPro HERO4) because I can't import my Spotify music to add to my personal videos. It would be great if spotify would partner with these or another video editing software developer so premium members can import their saved music for this purpose.

Updated: 2015-06-09Marked as new idea.
However this seems unlikely since Spotify needs to track the played songs in order to compensate the artists for each played track. With videos (that can be used offline) it would be almost impossible to track the plays.

Which PC is recommended by Microsoft that ACTUALLY meet the requirements to work with software development for kinect for windows?

My PC serves the minimum requirements described in the kinect page, but when installing the device, the software says that the computer does not meet the minimum requirements and therefore will not work with efficiency. Alternatively, theorize buy a new
computer.
Which PC is recommended by Microsoft that ACTUALLY meet the requirements to work with software development for kinect for windows?

Getting a definitive answer from Microsoft will be difficult as to my understanding, requirements are still subject to change; and unless it's their brand of PC I doubt they will give free advertisement to buy a specific make/model.
There are other threads where people discuss specific machines that work with the Kinect V2.
The only compatibility problems I've had with getting it to work are: It has to be run Windows 8; It has to have a compatible USB 3.0; The 'Compatible' USB 3.0 requirement seems to be the most difficult.

In need of a Software Developer for a Photoshop Plugin / Extension

I'm in need of a software developer that can create a plug-in or extension panel for Photoshop, according to my instruction.
Is there a list of developers available from Adobe?
Are you a software developer that can help? Please let me know.

Number one - that person has given you false information...the Apple store genius bar supports all Apple products whether in or out of warranty. Checking is free, service on an out of warranty item is not free.
Try a reboot by holding both the power and home buttons until the apple logo appears, ignore the red slider if that appears.
Since you show that you have iOS 7.0.3 you might want to update that iOS to 7.0.4...plug the iPhone in so you are on a solid power source, then while on a WiFi go to Settings > General > Software Update and update to 7.0.4.
