    Is it correct.
    Your company must have rather low standards.

    Is it correct.

    That depends on the role of the senior programmer.
    Is it your job to manage the team, or just program?
    I code C#....

    Ah, the serious tag. Now I must explain myself.

    Very well. You don't have a lot of knowledge of ASP.NET (and I've seen that for myself). You got promoted to the post of Senior Developer. Therefore your company either is small or it has low standards to be ready to promote anyone at all, or it's in its best interests to have another senior developer to give off a good appearance in front of clients.

    Capisce?

    Re: {SERIOUS} What you think?

    I wouldn't even consider pushing for the position of Senior Developer. Sure, I know VB code pretty darned well, and I'm picking up ASP.NET really fast... but that's no basis for me to think I can teach others. I build web sites with lots of access rules, which uses a few classes that need to be imported, and sure TSQL is a bit messy, but I'm no professional. I won't consider myself a pro until I have a paper saying I am. Probably won't happen till later in the year, but ah well.....

    I do suppose, though, if they speak English as well as you, then you might be able to work something out..

    What? That's not all that matters at all, especially if you cannot do the job.

    From what he's said, the only reason he's the Senior programmer is because there is nobody else senior to him anymore...

    Well I don't know his skill level, but his boss must feel he has some skill if he is will to promote him. Or at least thats how i see it. As far as he should care, his boss felt he deserved it (even if its only because there is nobody left)

    I mean no disrespect but I've seen the posts this guy makes, he's not senior developer material. I've seen companies like that though, a place I used to work at lost a lot of staff all at once (we all resigned) and they filled various management positions with people who couldn't even spell Linux (it was a Linux based dedicated server data center).

    Being clueless about the development tools that are currently being used by the staff is the first step toward a senior IT management position. Congrats!

    And, yes, I am totally serious about that.

    Re: {SERIOUS} What you think?

    Shakti, many years (decades) ago I gave up a civil service job to start working as a programmer. I also had hardware engineering experience. The chief engineer got fed up with the boss and quit. They made me chief engineer. I had no ide what I was doing, but I studied on my own and learned. I've been a systems analyst for the last 30 years because of that job.

    Congratulations. Now go learn as much ASP.Net as you can.
    The most difficult part of developing a program is understanding the problem.
    The second most difficult part is deciding how you're going to solve the problem.
    Actually writing the program (translating your solution into some computer language) is the easiest part.

    Please indent your code and use [HIGHLIGHT="VB"] [/HIGHLIGHT] tags around it to make it easier to read.
