Hello,
I have been doing networking for atleast 6 years now, but the funny thing is, my Associates degree says it was for programming, i sadly went to ITT-Tech, dont get me wrong i did learn some stuff, but later got my first job at best buy then worked my way to the networking field. Now i want to persue my dream as a software developer/programmer. I have learned most of C# already, including LINQ to sql, using dataset/dataadaptor for SQL, xml to C#, using a little bit of asp.net, and started to learn WPF because i heard it will create a better rich GUI for the user. My question or discussion is, should start applying for an entry level programming job (which i am fine with)? do i have what it takes to atleast land a job and hope to keep it with my skills? I have created several programs such as an Human resources program (basic but can easily expand it), A data entry form that is using LINQ and/or Dataset, a drawing program to draw lines save them in xml and upload it to the form to re-create lines, and created several simple games like blackjack and rock paper scissors.
I was thinking of waiting to apply until I learn C# networking, learning more on WPF to create a nice interface to show off, and make a nice video player that can do several things to the videos.
But what do you all think, should I try, but if i do… can I make it in the field, or should I wait to master those skills?
Thanks
