Software/Game Development Job Prep?
Posted by PuneStuff in Pune Stuff Questions & Answers on October 2nd, 2011
Question by jamal s: Software/Game Development Job Prep?
I’m a student studying computer science. I am about to enter my Senior year, but looking to (eventually) get a job working with a game development company, or other software development firm. Developing video games independently is my ultimate goal.
Since I’ve been in school, I have developed an intermediate skill in C++ (I can create basic console based programs). Because of my current job (a full time job unrelated to my major) and financial need (I have to work in order to get back and forth from school) I don’t have time to get an unpaid internship. I try to practice and develop my programming skills, but lack the challenge and hands-on experience of being a part of the development process of actual software. From the job searches that I’ve done, most companies don’t only want someone with a degree, but someone with experience, too.
So, lacking experience, what can I do to develop a portfolio impressive enough to land an entry level (or paid internship) position with a software development company (or improve the portfolio that I already have)?
To give you an idea of the portfolio I already have, I developed an interactive program dealing with data structures (arrays and sorting is all it consists of now, I’m still working on the linked lists and trees). It opens with a menu, giving the user the option to choose the type of data structure they want to create/manipulate. Once they choose the data structure type, they are taken to another menu that gives them the option of using randomly generated data(which is only integer data at this point), or entering the data themselves. Throughout the program the user is given the option to have the data printed to screen sorted (in ascending or descending order) or unsorted. Next, they can try the exercise again, or go back to the main menu. All possible actions are prompted. The program also prevents users from inputting data of the wrong type when prompted for info. And, again it runs in the command console.
Thanks

Join an open source project. Find one that interests you and see if you can participate. This will give you some experience with working as part of a team and with version control and software repositories. I know several guys who did open source work and then leveraged that into full time positions. You could also try developing a game for Android or another mobile OS, since that’s kind of hot and flashy these days.
Browse freshmeat.net and sourceforge.net for projects that might interest you.

Question by pal: Which is better for GMAT prep, Kaplan or Princeton review coaching classes?
Hi there,
Am planning to give GMAT this year around october, but am not able to decide which coaching classes to join.
I have mixed reviews about both.
Am unsure as to how good are the Pune branch of both the coaching centers.
I have tried studying on my own, i am not motivated enough.
So could you please suggest me which one to pick also could tell me what all books to reffer.
Thanks!

I would say Manhattan GMAT, because it’s a small company that focuses only on the GMAT, the instructors have all taken the GMAT and scored a 750 or higher, they focus on teaching you the material (instead of just how to beat the test), and their average student score is around 710.
