jetrico Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 If only I'm available I'd pretty much love to apply, but can't afford to switch companies at the moment. Been working with backend NodeJS for sometime, but also worked with few personal projects based on electron/nwjs. I am also aware of the how this technology would work around CreationEngine modding, as one of the projects I mentioned is about a "Skyrim Stability Checklist" which verifies all your settings, inis, mods, S.T.E.P. compliance, memory bug fix check, etc. https://github.com/dragonjet/skyrim-stability-checklist/tree/feature/custom-base-2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrspaghettiman Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 I mean, I can make spaghetti for the team! They would love that, right? I make some good spaghetti I am sure they would love my 792 c0- SPaghet;3021 Code for free spaghetti! Come on I know you guys would love it, full Italian spaghetti.

VeraxonHD Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 (edited) Uhhhh, Exeter? Man, if only I was like a year older. Exeter is literally 10 minutes away from me lmao. Good thing is I already know JS, CSS and am learning Electron and C#. Most if not all of my current projects run off node.js already. Maybe in a couple years y'all will pick me up? lol.

Guess I'm going to pick up some more programming languages soon! Java provides fundamental approaches to OOP including multiple design patterns that make full use of OOP concepts. Your university should have taught you, or will teach you about the design patterns, but if they don't...I don't know what to say. It's true Java isn't being used on many consumer software, but what makes Java still standing out currently is due to native Android development, and many larger companies have their backend built with Java EE (aka enterprise system). I am pretty excited when Vortex is announced to be developed using Electron. JavaScript has been very dominant, when there're so many wrappers out there allowing you to develop anything with js running cross-platform, Electron as the perfect example, so does React Native, and tools such as Node.js has invalidated claims such that js is solely client-side. Therefore, I think developers today should get their hands on JavaScript, and I would dare to say Java too if you're planning to work in a fairly big to large enterprise. Comp science and software engineering are flexible enough to let you learn a new language by yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
