Time to hook up the Senior J2EE Developers in Denver This is nuts - I'm getting at least one call or e-mail per day from recruiters and/or friends in Denver. Rather than posting these positions here (with Rates), if you're a Senior J2EE Developer in Denver, let me know. I'm going to start a list of folks with skills like mine so I can hook some brutha's up! I have 2 right now - both for J2EE/Web stuff.

Here are my requirements to get on my list:

  • Must know Ant, meaning you've written a build.xml file before. Having read Java Development with Ant is a huge plus.
  • Blogging is a plus - it means you're interested in Java and sharing your ideas (implying that you think outside of work).
  • You've used Eclipse or IDEA and use one or the other on a regular basis. This implies that you know a good IDE can improve your productivity.
  • Must know XHTML and CSS. I do, and I said skills like mine.
  • You're able to checkout AppFuse from CVS, build it and run "test-all" with success. README.txt is your friend.

I reserve the right to delete any of your e-mails and resumes, and to hook my friends up over other folks. I don't want to get a flood of e-mails, I'm just trying to hook up good folks with good jobs. If I can get the rates, I'll let you know what they are.

I take it another requirement is that the people live in Denver?

Of course. ;-) It does say "if you're a Senior J2EE Developer <strong><em>in Denver</em></strong>".

Well, If the only thing keeping you off the above list is that you happen to live in the Washington DC area, let me know, and I can see what I can do as well.

Are these full time positions or contractual ones?

Posted by Arjun Ram on October 03, 2003 at 02:27 PM MDT #

I've received calls for both, but most are 3-6 month contracts.

Oh my...I totally missed that...what was I smoking?

Interesting list. I know how to use Ant, but don't use it in my own projects, for various reasons. I don't have a blog -- not enough time! I am certainly interested in Java and follow it as close as I can, but I'd like to think I have a life outside of Java as well. But I do on occasion participate by commenting in other folk's blogs and in Java forums. Why does everyone *have* to have a blog? I suppose I'm double-whammied as I don't have a cell phone either. *GASP!* But I do have several computers and a notebook, a cable modem, a wireless network, know several programming languages and use both Windows and Linux/UNIX, and am programming games in Java in my spare time in addition to the J2EE I do at work. I don't use IDEA or Eclipse at work or home. SunONE Studio at work and other misc free stuff at home + NetBeans (both IDEs being perfectly good and improve my productivity. JBuilder is perfectly good, too). Oh, and why not requirements related to knowing EJBs, JMS, and other major items in J2EE? You did say Senior J2EE Developer, right? Should a Senior J2EE Developer be able to pass the Sun J2EE certification? I think you're needing a different title as your focus is very specific and not really J2EE-releated at all. If I lived in Denver I'd probably feel discriminated against by your list despite being a perfectly good and experienced J2EE developer. Just my thoughts... BTW - love the displaytag stuff. Can't wait for 1.0. Looking forward to Pro JSP, too.

Hooka brutha up...you rock! I'm currently engaged, but will be looking again early next year.

gerryg , that's the difference between big and small money, you love what you do or it's just a day job. Good enough is not good enough.
