IT Skills Re-Trainee Program Story


Structural Engineer friend of mine lost is his job 2 years ago and after applying for 600+ jobs during this time he was still jobless, later he got retrained in Data-Warehousing tool and found a full-time position with EBay Inc. Presently there are some sectors which are shrinking and some are booming, specially the IT with unemployment under 4% and jobs remaining open for months and if we can't produce enough people to work for this sector they will look somewhere else and it has already started and a lot many start-ups are outsourcing their products and even big enterprises are simply getting a lot of their work done offsite.


As you can see there is huge demand in IT sector, since we are in a process of rewriting the entire WWW for Touch devices and IT is no longer an option its the business now. Currently there is a huge demand for right skills in IT and on the other hand University education doesn't really produces right skills for the real market at right time as their education pattern is longer and they can't tweak what they teach that often and on the other hand IT demand changes quickly. Small IT Consulting companies really fill this void with their re-training programs by producing right skills for the real market quickly and cheaply.

Everybody dislikes these small IT Consulting companies for their shady attitude even people who work for them, I guess there is an explanation for this this.. firstly we should keep in mind that these companies are here to make profit these are pure businesses but.. they deal with lot of people who come to them broken and under confident and these companies start their relation being personal and noble but actually they are not....

Encourage more start-ups on Re-Training Program and give them tax brackets to fill few more jobs locally otherwise they might go somewhere else .

Disclaimer - I don't own any IT Consulting Company but I feel they do a good job with no recognition and more scrutiny.

JPA 2 new feature @ElementCollection explained

@ElementCollection is new annotation introduced in JPA 2.0, This will help us get rid of One-Many and Many-One shitty syntax. Example 1: Stores list of Strings in an Entity @Entity public class Users implements Serializable {     private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;     @Id     @GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.AUTO)     private Long id;     @ElementCollection     private List<String> certifications = new ArrayList <String> ();     public Long getId() {         return id;     }     public void setId(Long id) {         this.id = id;     }     public List <String> getCertifications() {         return certifications;     }     public void setCertifications(List <String> certifications) {         this.certifications = certifications;     } .. }         Users u = new Users();         u.getCertifications().add("Sun Certified Java Programmer");         em.persist(u); Generated Tables    Users    Co

Reuse JPA Entities as DTO

Note : Major design advantages of JPA Entities are they can detached and used across tiers and networks and later can by merged. Checkout this new way of querying entities in JPA 2.0 String ql = " SELECT new prepclass2.Employee (e.firstname, e.lastname) FROM Employee e "; List<Employee> dtos = em.createQuery(ql).getResultList(); The above query loads all Employee entities but with subset of data i.e. firstname, lastname. Employee entity looks like this. @Entity @Table(name="emp") public class Employee implements Serializable {     private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;     @Id     @GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.AUTO)     private Long id;     @Column     private String firstname;     @Column     private String lastname;     @Column     private String username;     @Column     private String street;     @Column     private String city;     @Column     private String state;     @Column     private String zipc

Validating CSV Files

What is CsvValidator ?   A Java framework which validates any CSV files something similar to XML validation using XSD. Why should I use this ?   You don't have to use this and in fact its easy to write something your own and also checkout its source code for reference. Why did I write this ?   Some of our projects integrate with third party application which exchanges information in CSV files so I thought of writing a generic validator which can be hooked in multiple projects or can be used by QA for integration testing. What is the license clause ?   GNU GPL v2 Are there any JUnit test cases for me checkout ?  Yes,  source How to integrate in my existing project ? Just add the Jar which can be downloaded from here  CsvValidator.jar  and you are good. Instantiate  CsvValidator c onstructor which takes these 3 arguements          // filename is the the file to be validated and here is a  sample         // list - defines all the fields in the above csv file ( a
