Work at Accenture

At the beginning of the month I went to Accenture Company Office localized in Warsaw. This company is one of the biggest company in the World making a software in Java, .NET, C++ ... to get more info go there: http://www.accenture.com . I was invited to do some tests of effectiveness and have a interview about giving me a job. The tests waren't hard but time which was spent to do them had been walking away so quickly. To do I had questions about SQL (relations, aggregations, inner, outer joins) in fact them ware quite easy but the time had been killing me, next I had to describe some terms like SSL and others which I completely forgot now, next c++ , playing with incrementing and decrementing toys, pointers, OOP, after c++ on my plate hit a .NET, here I had got boxing and unboxing objects, and others which I do not remember now, next were ASP, CSS, Java Script I am now going to describe all of them because, first I do not remember them, second them were easy:). The last test was linked with unix and here I crashed my self. The problem was not that I do not know unix but .... I did not have manual pages hehehe. :) The last step of my voyage to Warsaw was interview, speaking about technologies, patterns, solutions and of course questions like why ... when ... how much .. . Ok couple days ago I got a phone from Warsaw the very kind women congratulated me pasting my tests successfully, she had said that I able to work for them. All conditions like money, medical insurance, eLearning platform and many others are so cool ... but like always decisions are not easy. I have to think of it ...

.NET 3.0 on the Board

Since the .net 3.0 framework is available I have been sticking around to install it. Yesterday I finally did it. I had not to much time to play with that but the X-mas time is coming on, that means I will have more time to spare for it.

BindingList

Binding is very useful stuff but I often forget of using it. The last time was different, I used and I met a little problem with synchronizing ListBox with List. Adding a new object to the list did not have any effect in my ListBox control. So I went to speak with my friend - google. He said that I should use a BindindList instead of List. I did it and it really works. The code looks like:

1 public class FrmMain : Form

2 {

3 private BindingList _objects;

4

5 private FrmMain()

6 {

7 InitializeComponent();

8

9 this._objects = new BindingList();

10

11 this.lbObjects.DataSource = this._objects;

12 this.lbObjects.DisplayMember = "Name";

13 this.lbObjects.ValueMember = "Id";

14 }

15 }
