Any decent C++ people looking for work in the San Jose area?

How fast can you teach me C++? :)

Heh... that actually should have been a wink there...

Sadly not fast enough to get you through the interview process! It's a lot harder of a language than PHP. At least a couple orders of magnitude harder.

What kind of C++ programming is it?

I'm asking out of curiosity, unfortunately, since the chance that I'd move to San Jose is less than zero, but I am very curious, especially after spending 4 months looking for a job.

Right now it's a network monitoring (bandwidth, latency, availability) package. After that...there's lots of other projects, all of them will involve large-scale networking stuff.

Shoot. That's exactly what I did at my previous company. While we had a network management appliance that kept latency and availability statistics, the portion I wrote was a bandwidth monitor that broke traffic down into specific categories (i.e. it could tell you how much bandwidth was being used by web, mail, messaging, p2p, etc..). I wrote everything for that part from the low-level C and C++ code to capture the packets to the server code in Java to the user interface in Java Server Pages. Oh well.

Can I ask what the salary range is? Curiosity again, to compare it to the Research Triangle Park area...

Salary Range

Not entirely sure, actually.

This position can actually be filled in the DC area or White Plains NY area, though it'd be more difficult due to long-distance meetings.
