I am currently employed, developing the graphical and technical support code for business suite software. I've developed quite a bit in WPF and believe I'm quickly approaching advanced in the platform. I've also developed for Winforms and MFC.
I have experience in C++, VisualBasic.NET, C++/CLI, C#, and COBOL.
I'm visually oriented, and my specialty has always been developing quality abstract GUI and data layers first before linking them together, which is why I hit off with WPF quickly. I have a good feel for how to develop with a user mindset, predicting where people will look for what features. I'd like to avoid the buzzword intuitive here, but it's exactly that. I know well how to develop intuitive UI.

Do you find languages with indentation requirements cumbersome? @DeadMG The edit was trying to redo the title to match the additional question in the content. However, the answers address the title, and only some address the additional question. I understand the edit, but that should have taken place before answers were long standing. |

Determining whether two binary search trees have the same set of values Actually, you'd get better time by testing the terminal nodes first. |

Determining whether two binary search trees have the same set of values First, your algorithm is O(1) space, since you're not consuming space to compare. Second, your algorithm is already average O(log n) because you'll get exponential increasing time for each correct node. |

Where did the notion of “one return only” come from? That has nothing to do with multiple returns, and everything to do with needing to introduce a better state control. |

How far should 'var' and null coalescing operator '??' be entertained without hampering readability? I can see how var would be a problem if you wanted to know that you didn't receive the expected type. Then again, you can just do a type check afterward (which is more flexible anyway). |

How far should 'var' and null coalescing operator '??' be entertained without hampering readability? I suggest we change the operator from ?? to IfNullThen. ? can be IfSoChoose, : is ElseChoose. + is Add. - is Subtract, unless it's unary, then it's Negative. -- is split between DecrementBeforeUsing, and DecrementAfterUsing. In C++ you can do this with macros. |

Where did the notion of “one return only” come from? I know a lot of the really bad habits that my place adheres to is mainly argued for using reading printouts. They argue that you can't see type in a printout, so prefixing with type (a, str, lp), is a good thing. They argue declaring variables at the top of scope is good because you know where to look when you read the printout. I'm wondering why if meetings are all that important, we don't have tablet machines instead of printouts. Maybe I'll suggest that at a later meeting.... over a printout. |

Where to put common shared methods @TheLQ They won't necessarily save state, but they'll hold const data (like conversion charts) for convenience. |

Do I have the wrong idea about software engineering? I'm a little more concerned at the attitude of the rest of the answers, that no one else noted this concern. |

How do I convince my boss to use REST over SOAP? @greengit Not to mention the case where your service provider changes platforms for delivery. Then the way you implement it may matter. |
