The mouse has never been the fastest way to write code. I have always been amazed at those developers who have taken the time to memorize all the complex keystrokes needed to avoid using the mouse. Their fingers fly and they seem to write so much more code than anyone else given the same time. The more you can avoid that mouse the more efficient you will be when it comes to writing code. Here are a few keystrokes to memorize for Eclipse Alt-/ Word complete (No need to type out the full name if the IDE knows it) Alt-Shift-R Rename (useful refactor you need to know) Ctrl-Shift-T Open Type Dialog (Fastest way to open the source for a class you can’t find) Alt-Shift-X then T Run the open source file in JUnit (Alt-Shift-X has many other options) ;-) Special Note ;-) Special Note ;-) OCI has several immediate openings for solid Java developers. The basic skills required are Java, Servlets, JDBC, Ant and JUnit. Struts, MVC, Spring and Hibernate are nice to have skills but not required. Please call Ken Totten at 314-590-0204 or email hr@ociweb.com. Be sure to tell them Nathan Tippy sent you.

How much is your time worth? This is an important question for those of you planning to get wealthy as an excellent software engineer. How to earn 10,000 in one hour My experience has shown me that those who are successful in this field are the same ones who love it. If you don’t like development it’s very probable that you will quit under the stress long before your peers who do like it.

Sharpen your speaking skills

When interviewing prospective engineers I am always impressed by those with excellent speaking skills. Those people stick in my mind long after the interview is over, especially if I really enjoyed the experience. By developing excellent conversational skills you can make the interviewer much comfortable and (even more importantly) make a great impression. One of the best ways to sharpen any skill is to regularly practice. Unfortunately if you decide to do this with your friends and family it may quickly chase them away ;-) Don’t give up hope. There are places to go and practice these skills with others. Toastmasters is an international organization established to improve public speaking. I have had many recommendations over the years for Toastmasters and I am planning to join a local chapter in the near future. I have a friend who has been involved with them for much longer than myself. Please read his recent post about this excellent organization: Toastmasters in the Financial World

You must develop people skills.

After finishing my new site MP3Brain.com I took a short break. Rather than write something new I invite you to read what one of my friends has to say about the importance of people skills.
Most technical people???and I???m thinking primarily of software developers, networking specialists and engineers, because that???s where my experience lies???are still thinking in terms of becoming strong technically as a means of advancement. They could not be further from the truth. Advancement lies in those who can actually disassociate themselves from the technical aspects of their work and display skill and finesse dealing with people.

Dress Well

To make a great impression as an excellent engineer always dress better than the average developer. You do not necessarily need to put on a suit but you should always have nice shoes. ‘Business casual’ is the most common description of what most people call working attire. Unfortunately this is often more casual than business. Don’t go overboard but do make sure that you avoid looking sloppy. A sharp crisp appearance goes a long way when making a first impression.
