We are looking again for some bright people (age, gender and background does not matter) to sign up with us for an exciting journey into Java and web-development. A ton of training opportunities (you will go through Oracle certifications as Java Associate, Java Programmer and Java Web component developer) and hands-on real work experience.

Offices are placed in Bryanston, internship is very well paid, work is casual with flexi-time - if you know anyone please get them to drop a CV through at cto at bidorbuy dot co dot za

I would even prepared to take the .Net / C++ crowd in and show you how real development on a highly scalable environment is done :whistle:

As a CTO that a pretty retarded statement to make, it boils down the persons know how on how to implement scalability. Our processing platform does thousands of transactions a second, multi consumer ready nodes, horizontal scaling, completely load distributed.

I have nothing against java, just against the people that think its the only scalable language. Because its not.

Edit:

Oh and lets not mention everyones bible these days. Stackoverflow = .NET

That was an anti-troll statement. It is pretty obvious to most that almost any language can scale well if the underlying architecture was designed well. Only wanted to poke at the trolls and not the knowledgeable developers.

Fair enough.

Reminds me of this:

Except the fanboyism is reversed for the:

"I can build a 10,000 line piece of software using 100,000 lines" language, which broke somewhere between 6 and 7 :confused:

So you're only a programmer if you know Java? :D Life must be 'fun' at BorB with this oke around...

I can't comment if any other language is more "fun". We provide an internship which is structured in such a way that anyone without much prior experience will be able to not only learn the foundation of development but will also get the necessary certifications as part of it. Working in our OSS environment gives anyone a real broad understanding of not just development, architecture but also how to run scalable infrastructure. I don't think Java is limiting in any way from a career perspective and it is (combined with web technologies) versatile enough to be a starting point for anyone into any other IT career.

While we do provide mobile native applications and support PHP, Python, ObjectiveC, Android- and Windows Phone development, the initial focus is on getting people with little or no software development background into software development as a starting point.

Flexi-time - After hours and weekends? LOL

No after hours and no weekends (with the exception of some scheduled maintenance). None of the development staff has done any overtime ever and some either start early (6am) and then leave early or start late (9am) and work a bit later.

I was actually hoping to get into this internship after hours and weekends since I have a full time job. :)

Lol - would be very sad for you, as everyone else would leave work when you there. We do have people who came from another industry, self-studied and came in for an interview and where hired. Requires a ton of motivation to shift, but is in most cases worth it.

Burning the candle at both ends is never good practice.
