So...I was happily programming C++ for 7 years before I got laid off.
There was some database work, but...it was all PROPRIETARY.
Just about every job posting I see wants some DB experience or other.
I have
SCJP, taking SCWCD this month, and XML is on my list. However,
this lack of database product experience is a real thorn in my side.
I am not sure what path to take to maximize my employment chances...
DB2, Oracle, SQL, ???
It's sad how far behind I came by devoting myself to my employer!!!
But now that I am here, I want to waste as little time as possible playing
catch up.
Thanks for any advice.
