Rashakil Fol and robertek,
Thank you so much for responding! I have some really good material to use for my assignment, but most importantly I have some insight on the career that I would like to pursue.
All,
I have a quick question for anyone: What is the best way to "keep up with technology?" What tools do you use and do you find yourself attending some type of training for your job?
Thank you again for all of your help.
Well one of the best ways is just as it is here. Join in on the forums, many people will make new posts about up and coming or new methods of doing things.
Along with that conferences or seminars might help. I'm sure we all are on some Microsoft or tech e-mail list, take a second and read them sometimes.
Frequent the websites for the software you use, .net take a look at msdn, java take a look at the java site.
