You're Not Alone Out There

Bryan McCormick

Employer: YouService

Job: J2EE programmer

DDJ: You're responsible for server-side programming at a small start-up company. What do you like about that job?

BM: It's very flexible. It's a small company. I was the first employee here. So I really get to build the company and the product up from the ground.

DDJ: What do you find challenging about your position?

BM: Like most start-ups, I have to do everything, from racking servers to setting up all the code and really designing the code from the start. It's challenging, in that you've got an open field to work with and you've got to create something that works.

DDJ: What have you found that makes your job easier?

BM: Definitely having the Web as a resource, and having open-source code out there. Just having a lot of other developers out there that you can ask questions of and just talk to and [bounce] ideas off of.

DDJ: So a support community, in other words.

BM: Yeah, and that's where I think Java really excels. [You've] got other people out there. A lot of this stuff is being done by others, and you really get a lot of help. If you bump into a problem, you can throw a question out there and there'll be dozens of people who have an answer for you.
