This is my 1001 post. I have begun this blog in 14 November 2009 with Jquery : http://msprogrammer.serviciipeweb.ro/2009/11/14/jquery-learning/ . In that time I was with WIndows Forms and MVC – but I have a penchant for BDD ( NBehave)

I am doing ( mostly) 2 blog posts per week. Occasionally, when I am deep fond with something , I have one blog post per day.

Anyway , thanks for following me!

I was thinking to have a page for my programming related activities in each year. It is a good opportunity to remember what I have done and if I do something right with my time. So , without other discussion , here they are ( so far …)  : http://msprogrammer.serviciipeweb.ro/my-activities-2018/

This Saturday I have taken “Java, .NET, Ruby on Rails Chief Software Architects Hiring Tournament(https://www.eventbrite.com/e/bucharest-java-net-ruby-on-rails-chief-software-architects-hiring-tournament-tickets-38534409456 )”

It was an occasion for me to see how sharp are my (old ) programming skills and ( rather new , compare with programming) architecture skills.

For the record , I have finished the 4th from > 30 participants– that ‘s awesome for me.

Here are the results:

1. Twin Strings 30 /30
   
2. Technical Aptitude 46 /60
   
3. Ascending Binary Sort 30 /30
   
4. Architect Aptitude 30.86 /60
   
5. Code Review 34.76 /60

Total Score: 171.62

Some considerations:

• Technical aptitude was with ASP.NET WebForms questions – a no-no  for me
  
• I solved the practical problems( 1 and 3 ) with a mix of .NET Generic Collection and a lot of Linq. I have also seen a Ruby solution similar with .NET Linq. Functional programming is awesome!
  
• I do not agree with many question within Architect track – many were technology specific ( Amazon, Casandra, Qlik, oterhs)
  
• Code review – here I have had a personal problem. I did not want to think deeply to all questions –   time is always a precious resource and I have had other things to do also.

All in all, a beautiful day and I am glad to have participated.

Let’s see:

1. Learn Razor

2. Learn Azure

3. Learn WPF

4. Learn WF

It should be enough , right?

What are your resolutions?
