Which of these studies would benefit a CS student the most? @user1265125 Don't force yourself to learn anything technical, for one this will likely be what you end up doing for a career so if you hate learning it you'll hate your job and two as a CS student there should be more than enough technical issues that interest you. Concentrate on learning and gaining evidence of soft skills like public speaking and working as a team this will set you apart much quicker than learning technical skills. A part time CS related job is probably the best thing you can do to help your career prospects. |

for vs. foreach vs. LINQ That's great if you're at a company which allows time for formal training so you can book some time to train staff when implementation of LINQ begins. However if you're not then you're running the risk of the LINQ guy leaving before they've passed on the knowledge and being left with code which no one can understand. |

How can a student programmer improve his teamwork skill? For point 4 to work you have to have some sort of standards, when I've done group work at uni the group members never had the same idea of what counted as good work and so their ideas of 'everything going fine' were completely different. |

How can a student programmer improve his teamwork skill? That only works if you have something to offer your team members ie if you're paying their salaries, the problem with student groups is you're not actually giving your group members anything and you have no real authority over them. |

What is a good support knowledge base tool? @Guillaume I think you could tailor it to support development if you wanted to. Just give each type of issue a separate page and use categories if it becomes too big to be handle. I think the bigger issue is getting people to contribute to any system, allocate some time to actually writing the documentation instead of just expecting it to be done. |

What is a good support knowledge base tool? @EmmadKareem I think every software house already does that the issue is that cases repeat and some cases may be different but related to the same route cause ect |

If you had to teach professional development to students that just graduated school, what would be the topics? At my uni it depends which options you take. If you wanted you can study CS and take 2 SQL based DB modules or you could take, say, networking (CCNA equiv) and security modules (CEA equiv) and never touch SQL, both sets of options give you a degree with the same title. |

What is a good support knowledge base tool? I know this isn't really what you're looking for but I do the same sort of work and everything tends to get sorted out at the dev support stand-up. We have a few wiki pages for some standard fixes but people rarely use any written documentation other than the business specs so there seems little point in extending it. |

Software and/(x)or Hardware Projects for Pre-School Kids @haylem Yeah I know what you said, it turned into a bit of a rant at Quora users, some of the people on there are little insane when it comes to technology in education. They seem to think tech will replace simple things like reading to your kids or reciting number bonds. |
