So I was at a birthday party yesterday and their is this cute 19 year old university student who seemed to be impressed with me. I know her male friends and cousins and I was giving them my story on my career journey so far in the search for programmer, developer jobs and some of these guys...

Thanks. Last week I approached a women nervously and she just looked at me rudely and walked off. I then approached a cute female much more calmly and she was reciprocating well. I did not finish it off due to not being persistent. My sarge partner who saw then told me on the way back I should...

I'm applying for my second batch of Java applications next week, this time I've added another project based on developing a cloud applications and I'm also applying for Python, C# roles. There are a number of websites which you can learn and use their projects as your own projects:treehouse...

Thanks, I'll read that book. I'm a busy man now and I've said many times I cannot come out late night in this cold weather because I don't want to anyway. A normal man would have respected this, but this guy keeps telling me to come out to meet him because he's come all this way and he's near...

I'm a guy lol. Thanks for the advice.

Not really, I just find it very weird how this guy lives 90 minutes bus ride away and comes all the way to my house in the freezing cold weather dark at night to bother me when I'm very busy. He did it last week and he's done it today.

So last week he decided to come to my house over 1.15 hours bus ride away or even more from my house at 6pm in the night. (I live in England) which he didn't even call or text me to meet up beforehand, so it came to my shock when he called to say I'm coming. A couple of days ago we agreed to...

Congratulations synergy1 for getting the software job. This thread has been very inspiring and helpful for people trying to get into programming, developer roles like myself. Thanks a lot for sharing.

Work on being more attractive.

It's great you have good grades, have a sense of purpose, know where you're heading and going to the gym. I would suggest making friends with females, this will increase your confidence with them, join a club out of interest, volunteer or something. For confidence the above is what I...

It could be resentment. When I write this, I'm not being disrespectful to anyone in these positions. The uncle who's son I've helped get a job twice, he hasn't done well in life and I'm starting to do well in life, their could be peer pressure. The most respected uncle who doesn't...

I should have put this in my last post, however I cannot edit my last pot: Udacity is great for learning and knowing how to develop apps, websites, software step by step and you can use their projects as your own projects which carry a lot of weight. Same for Treehouse's Java, C#, Python, PHP...

I literally could write a 10 page list. One of my uncle's birthday is today. We have a family whats-app group and I always say happy birthday to all my uncle, aunties and cousins. The uncle who cuts me out ironically did not say happy birthday on my birthday, he did to my sister and I did say...

Thanks for the replies. Since my most respected uncle don't acknowledgement me properly and acknowledges and respects everyone else in their job. I don't feel the need to respect him much. I want to know when I get a better paid job than my sister (although they will mistakenly think she is in...

Thank you very much for this post. Now this explains my uncles/family's behaviour and puts things into perspective. So yeah, perhaps I make some people feel bad because I've proved them wrong. Although I don't mean too.

Thank you, but why would they want to put me in my place for? I don't believe their jealous of me, maybe they just don't want me to have any power because they think I'm arrogant?

Thanks for the replies. I'm back home and as I stated in my opening post he checked my cousins resume. Also he talked about what's he doing. He could have asked me anytime yesterday about what I'm doing and he never asks me. He also said something related to my sister being rich. My sister...

So I'm at a Christmas party and keep being left out by the senior, uncles, older cousins. No one talks to me or talks about me. They always talk about others peoples work, what they do in their life however I'm constantly cut off. None of my family knows I'm looking for programmer jobs or...

Models and also the best experience is going out there and practicing what you've learnt. The best form of practice is approaching and conversing with females in real life, that way you will further improve your skills and confidence.

That's incorrect. All you need is a couple of high quality projects(video games, apps, some software) and knowing TDD, web technologies, databases, version control and you are in. 70% of the programming jobs here don't need a degree. There are so many forums I've read, treehouse success...
