Atricle Dump - Business

Embracing the Feminine in the Workplace
Bang! Bang! My shiny metal cap gun sounded as I fired at the imaginary tribe of Indians invading my suburban Atlanta backyard. Two houses down the street, my childhood friend Shelly cuddled her brand new "Chatty Cathy" baby doll.Growing up in the 50s, our roles were clear: women gather and nest, and men hunt and fight. I was sure that one day I would go into business, and Shelly would be a stay-at-home mom. Twent

et share. This includes .Net and pre-.Net. There was only a .2% drop in job market share this quarter, which is hardly worth mentioning. VB programmers are still in high demand, especially when they have SQL experience.

* Contrary to what anyone says, C++ is still going strong and has gained job market share.

Online Business! Is it a Business?
Never forget that an online business must still adopt sound business practices to succeed. Your goal should be to work at the business and not for the business.Work towards the goal of you not being necessary to the business for it to run successfully.Most online businesses are small and there is nothing wrong with that. Most don't have much money (I reckon there is so

Once again, I'm taking a look at the current status of the programming job market. I guess my biggest interest is in seeing which programming languages are the most popular. Originally, I did an article about this 3 months ago (Decisions! Decisions!) as an exercise to see if where I was headed as a programmer was in tune with where the market is headed. When I go back a look at that article, I'm surprised at where I was heading. At that time I felt that C# was the best direction for me to look into. Well, now we're three months later into 2005 and I'm in a totally different direction. I guess it all depends on what the client wants and how good the project pay is. ;) While C# still looks like a very good market to be in, I'm currently involved with Java and FileMaker. Well, it's what the client wants!

Anyway, here's the chart for this quarter. Below the chart I'll discuss the interesting changes that have occurred just during the past three months.

Here's what I find interesting about this chart compared to three months ago:

* VB continues to hold a steady market share. This includes .Net and pre-.Net. There was only a .2% drop in job market share this quarter, which is hardly worth mentioning. VB programmers are still in high demand, especially when they have SQL experience.

* Contrary to what anyone says, C++ is still going strong and has gained job market share.

2005 Super Bowl Ads... Winners and Losers
Well, Super Bowl XXXIX is history. Too bad for the folks who consider themselves the always-pullin'-for-the-underdog type. The Bandwagon team won.But, as far as Super Bowls go, the losers played well. For those who care, the Eagles actually covered the 7-point spread. T.O. is the deal, too. At least on the field, anyway.They had a chance late in the game, but poor field position and bad clock man

Longer Hours Worked Show Higher Blood Pressure
Those who work over 50 hours a week have an average higher blood pressure of 29% of those who work a standard 40-hour work-week. Now then this is unfortunate because most of the people who are at the top of their food chain and love their profession and are really good at what they do work more than 50 hours per week.And those who work the minimum of 40-hours a week in our society often are barely getting buy and

Do You Know What Kind Of Job Opportunity You're Looking For?
Just after leaving school or college with or without a degree pinned to our well tailored blazer, we immediately dream of filling the chairman’s chair in a multinational company, eager to preside over the board meeting and take part in the all too pleasant tea party. No, there is nothing wrong with it. We greenhorns, all do that during some part of our early youth. Save and except, that it does not happen that way, howe

My Advertising Budget Looks Like a Shoe String
An aphorism used saying it takes money to make money. And it is obviously true in case of starting a business. A business cannot be started without a capital. And after starting it, you require money to expand it too. But now, with the coming of the internet, many ways have sprung up using which it is possible to expand your online business, or more specifically speaking, generating traffic to your site, without spendin

* Contrary to what anyone says, C++ is still going strong and has gained job market share. This quarter has seen a 1.79% increase in the market. My guess is that this is due to the increase of the Linux market since C++ is the number one development environment for that platform.

* The biggest winners in job market share gains is Java with 2.33% increase, MS SQL with a 2.57% increase, and the number one winner is Oracle with a 2.88% job market share. Oracle continues to be the leader in job positions with a 27.74% of the market.

* The biggest loser for this quarter is Pearl, which lost a whopping 6.92% of the job market. I don't know what accounts for this decrease but it appears to be across all three of the major job posting sites.

* A surprise loser for this quarter is C#, which lost 2.54% of the market to end up with only 2.95% of the job market. Again, my only reasoning on why this is taking place is due to the impact that Linux is having.

Overall, this is a very interesting set of statistics. In no way is this scientific, and it only represents the local job market in Los Angeles. However, it shows that there is a trend in gains for programmers with Linux skills. And once again, if you have experience with SQL, especially Oracle, you're not going to have any problems at all with getting work.

If you have a business you should be bartering goods and services with other businesses. You should try to trade for something before you buy it. Barter deals usually require little or no money.

In our last issue, we gave you a persuasive argument why you need a website to grow your brand. Today we'll share some key things to consider before designing a site.
