History

History
There was short period in my life when I became unemployed so I looked for help to find a post.

I found the support levels less than useless - they focused on CV writing. As part of the process I was directed to Working Links in Manchester where they gave me a sheet of paper of useful websites.  

I spent 1 hour creating this website just to help me in my job search and in doing so I discovered many bad links. I offered Working Links a service to manage it and keep it up to date but they declined the offer.

So this remained static for many years until I was approached by a person wanting information about the IT industry and how he could extend his skills.  So as part of my Community Guardian role I spent a few hours brain dumping stuff for him.

I have - from time to time - needed space to just do stuff that I am currently looking at and have used working links just to do stuff. I have no time now to do housekeeping here so it will remain here till done.

This is now useful stuff for my current LearniT project.

With regards to job hunting outside this site I did some research have for another agency - for a place to add it I decided to use my Digital Champion site as I was experiencing that the people who i was discussing IT with were often unemployed. So I have included a link here to pull it all into one place.

Page update


Things here have moved on....

Note : You will now find disconnected links on this page - they are to sites when code was actually developed and is now no longer in service. For this project I borrowed space off friends who allowed me FTP access.

Watch this space as I have a training exercise in IIS to perform and I may start hosting stuff from my spare room. 

Are you there Manny!

Hello World !

Manny - you have given me a little project. I will do my best but there is a lot to do.

There is more to c# programming than coding solutions, therefore I am going to treat this as a little project.

So watch this space.....
   

SSR - System Service Request

About SSR


Simply a System Service Request is a reference code that logs the requirement. Typically a Payroll Manager would raise a SSR to commence a project.

For example SSR-2012-01 Would be used to, say, Create a Payroll System. This would initiate the business survey and commence the project - having agreed an initial budget for the report.

SSR-2012-01/nnn would then be used in all XML support documentation at program level. 

All external support documentation will be indexed by this reference number.

PSR - Program Service Request

PSR Program Service Request


A Program Service Request is simply a unique reference number that identifies a piece of code.

Code can be as simple as one line instruction on say a click event or a property assigned to a object. Code can also be very complex requiring significant support documentation. To keep code clean we only need to reference the PSR in the XML.

For Example :

PSR-00001 Write Payslip.
PSR-00002 Amend Payslip

It is the desire of the Object Orientated Programmer to create re-usable code. Creating a library of programs which may be used by multiple applications is the key to efficient code. At the core of any system should be a library of standard programs. These should be produced to the highest standard of efficiency. 
 

Sample Code - Reverse Array

 static void Main()

        {

            // Input array.

            int[] array = { 1, 2, 3 };


            // Print.

            foreach (int value in array)

            {

                Console.WriteLine(value);

            }

            Console.WriteLine();


            // Reverse.

            Array.Reverse(array);


            // Print.

            foreach (int value in array)

            {

                Console.WriteLine(value);

            }

            Console.WriteLine();


            // Reverse again.

            Array.Reverse(array);


            // Print.

            foreach (int value in array)

            {

                Console.WriteLine(value);

            }

        }

Basics

Open a link in a new window. Protopage could be improved by providing us with a folder to store images, then we could code a clickable image. (One for the future perhaps).

Sample Code - Timer


 class Program

    {

        static void Main(string[] args)

        {

            DateTime ExecutionStartTime; //Var will hold Execution Starting Time

            DateTime ExecutionStopTime;//Var will hold Execution Stopped Time


            TimeSpan ExecutionTime;//Var will count Total Execution Time-Our Main Hero


            ExecutionStartTime = DateTime.Now; //Gets the system Current date time expressed as local time


            //this is the main block for which we are checking execution Time

            int count = 3000;

            for (int i = 0; i < count; i++)

            {       

                //Code of Block to do Execution

                Console.WriteLine("Hi i am" +i.ToString());

                Console.Clear();

            }//Execution Completed


            ExecutionStopTime = DateTime.Now; //Gets the system Current date time expressed as local time


            //Now Just calculate the duration taken by a Block

            ExecutionTime = ExecutionStopTime - ExecutionStartTime; //Total Time


            Console.WriteLine("********Execution Time Summary*********");


            Console.WriteLine("Loop Count = "+count.ToString());


            Console.WriteLine("TotalHours = " + ExecutionTime.TotalHours.ToString());//Total Hours 

            Console.WriteLine("TotalMinutes = " + ExecutionTime.TotalMinutes.ToString());//TotalMinutes            

            Console.WriteLine("TotalSeconds = " + ExecutionTime.TotalSeconds.ToString());//TotalSeconds            

            Console.WriteLine("TotalMilliseconds = " + ExecutionTime.TotalMilliseconds.ToString());//TotalMilliseconds            

            Console.WriteLine("***************************************”");

        }

    }

Sample Code - Sort 1


class Program

    {

        static void Main(string[] args)

        {

            //Generic collections are preferred nowadays - type safe, performant etc

            List<int> myInts = new List<int>() { 1, 34, 23, 66, 789 };


            //add item

            myInts.Add(88);


            myInts.Sort(); //default ascending


            foreach (int i in myInts)

            {

                Console.WriteLine(i);

            }


            Console.WriteLine("****************************");


            myInts.Reverse();


            foreach (int i in myInts)

            {

                Console.WriteLine(i);

            }



        }

Coding Standards

The decision has been made not to use Hungarian Notation.

See advice given by Microsoft below:

Do not use Hungarian notation.


Hungarian notation is the practice of including a prefix in identifiers to encode some metadata about the parameter, such as the data type of the identifier.

Information

 

Thank you for contacting the National Careers Service.

 

I've included, below, some links to job search websites and some funding information as requested.

 

 

http://www.itjobswatch.co.uk/

 

http://www.computing.co.uk/jobs

 

http://www.bcsrecruit.com/

 

www.indeed.co.uk - this is a more general job search site

 

 

In terms of funding a Microsoft Professional course, you should check with the learning provider initially to see if you'd be eligible for any discounts or concessions. If not you could consider looking at the following options.

 

 

Professional and Career Development Loan (PCDL)
With the PCDL you can apply to borrow any amount between £300 and £10,000. You can use the money to pay for up to two years of work-related education or training, and up to one year’s practical work experience where this is part of your course. The Skills Funding Agency pays the interest on the loan while you study.

 

For further information on the PCDL scheme, and an application pack, call 0800 100 900 or visit the PCDL section of the Gov website.

 

 

Grants from charities and trusts 

 

Family Action

Family Action is a charity and they maintain a database of trusts and charities that can assist students by providing funding for further and higher education (they cannot offer advice on non-charitable education funding such as statutory funding).

 

Family Action’s services include:

 

·                     Educational Grants Search  - the Educational Grants Search can identify charitable funding for education or training. Searches can be used for enquiries about full time, part time and distance learning courses.

 

Turn2Us

The Turn2Us organisation is part of the Elizabeth Finn Care charity and helps people who are in financial hardship access the money through welfare benefits, grants and explores other options that maybe available.

 

Features on the site include:

 

·         A Grants Search section containing the details of hundreds of grant-giving charities (national, regional and local) that may be able to provide financial support and other services

·         A ‘My Turn2us’ account facility that can be used to make online enquiries and applications to grant-giving charities

· 

Turn2Us can be contacted by telephone on 0808 802 2000 or you can take a look at their website - www.turn2us.org.uk.

 

 

I hope this information proves useful in your research for a job and funding for the Microsoft course you're interested in. Id you need any other help or advice, don't hesitate to get back in touch, either on the phone or by email. We'd be happy to offer you further information and advice.

 

 

There are a number of different ways you can contact the National Careers Service. We have career advisers on our helpline (call 0800 100 900 Lines are open 8am until 10pm every day) and in your local area, they can help you plan your next steps and provide lots of support along the way.

 

There is more help online at www.direct.gov.uk/nationalcareersservice, by email, web chat or through our discussion forums.
