Mario Charest Zinformatic, In Real Time
Hmm… three of the more well names in QNX circles all posting availability
for work, one after the other. It’s official, we are in a recession.
Mario, Robert, Bill, seems like a small QNX oriented startup opportunity for
the three of you

At least Mario and Robert are in Canada. My closest competion is Mitch, who
I actually think posted here not long ago, althought from the newsreader I’m

No need to worry Bill. Since August I’ve been exploring a
possible alternate career as a high school
Math/Science/Computer teacher, as a substitute. In hind
site this looks like an absolutely prescient decision. As
of September 11th I lost a contract and have not had even a
hint of an offer of work. However I really am considering a
switch. I still like the programming, but I’m tired of the
Corporate BS. Of course teaching will no doubt have its
share of.

Can’t find a post from Mitchell in here. You’re ok Bill
I got one advantage over Bill and Robert, I speak french.
Not sure if I can find comfort in that
I’ve been thinking of writing a post abut the whole situation
(qdn.cafe is missing a long thread…) Is somebody up for it?

Go fot iy Mario.
Actually, I’ve got a story myself.
I know of several large business customers that will give me work if I can
do AS/400 programming. So I bought a big book on AS/400 programming. (Gee,
I can become an expert in 600 pages, can’t I?) Two things have come to mind
so far.
-
It’s like stepping back about 20 years in time. I mean I got my start
on IBM business systems and it doesn’t seem like they’ve evolved a bit. -
Everything that the AS/400 brags about is the complete opposite of what
QNX brags about. I.E. Welcome to the monolithic software program. It’s
all part of OS/400.
On a more serious note, I notice that there is C++ on the AS/400. I’m very
confident using C++ even on a strange computer. But no one seems to
actually be using it. The more common language seems to be RPG400. Oh Gee.
I did RPG-II way back in school but I forget most of it. Anyway, I’m
learning it all over again.
If anyone has any practicle advice about AS/400 programming please feel free
to comment here or in private mail.
