Message: [QUOTE="BigBrian, post: 2432686"] Hmmm, but the original poster admitted that he doesn't even know Java well. Don't you think that knowing the language should be a necessary requirement for any programming job? Lets see.... He doesn't know java very well, but he has a job as a java programmer. He gets assigned to doing maintanence ( IMHO a very good opportunity to learn the language in addition to what is good and bad design ), but instead he complains that he's not doing new development ( for which IMHO, given that he doesn't know the language all that well, he's not qualified ). Then it seems that many people here suggest the he look for another job ( instead of taking advantage of his current opportunity to gain experinece/knowledge ). IMHO, there's something wrong with this.... [/QUOTE]
