LOL
Bees, you should've titled this: What languages DON'T you know or What languages have you not been exposed to yet. lol
As far as already developed code bases lol, well... We both would prolly die if I listed the things that I've personally written that I <b>know</b> is still being used today.
I can give you SOME examples of things that have put my name in the lights and that I'm overly proud to advocate, so to speak, for certain corps. lol The others are corp/intellectual proprietary and I can't speak on them. Watch how I bounce around w/ respect to entities and what they produce.
As an undergrad @ PV, I developed an appl for the financial aid dept that's still being used to this very day (I frequently return just to ensure it's health and discuss it's probable future) lol
@ AT&T Bell Labs (Lucent), I'd written application software for.... their old advanced 1-800 DASD service (consisted of replicated network nodes called NCPs blah blah blah and you should know the rest lol).
Can't speak for the defense industry obviously. lol
For Burlington Northern/Santa Fe: Some of their national train tracking/laden/boxcar tracking software....
Can't speak for the travel industry obviously. lol (Old Sabre, Apollo, World Span, and System One ATC/CSR systems)
Ever rode on an A-320 Airbus? Yep. Those frequented trips to Europe back in the gap weren't for nothing. lol
For Cingular? Some of their old 'advanced' PCS related capabilities on Nok devcs as well as joint devl work on Nortel switches. lol
For AT&T Wireless? Currently national based apps: Anytime you access their website
, rate plan analyzer
, credit checker+, upgrade your phone/device(s), shipping/recving... that's me and 3-4 other devls who created those systems.
I just created something (@ home
) that <b>United Airlines and Southwest Airlines</b> are overly interested in (support software using CORBA compliant Java). Those previous contacts paid off and we'll see what transpires.
I have 'decent' knowledge and I will admit that I am a hacker. The problem that I currently have is that I was forced to sign agreements w/ certain corps stating that my thoughts and development material(s) were solely owned by the corps and that I wouldn't compete w/ their core business units for "X" years (unfortunately) either independently or w/ a competing corp.
Be weary of intellectual property agreements. They could come back and bite you in the arse.
I feel like I've almost put my resume' out here. lol :emlaugh:
