Comment on: Finding Entry Level Positions

What type of jobs? Also, have you gone to your school's career services? They usually will help recent grads a lot.

Try to apply directly on companies' sites if possible. Sometimes it's just more reliable or opens more doors. Keep changing your resume to highlight different skills, or have a few different ones based on what type of position you're looking for (one for web backend, one for web frontend, one for other programming). Also take this time do anything to enhance your resume and skills, like mock interviews or personal projects or getting certificates.

What do you want to code?

Comment on: What were your first projects, and what were some important things you learned from them?

It takes a really good programmer to be able to learn so much from smaller projects like that. Most things I'd done for classes I just half assed it and got something working and moved on. You'll be very well prepared when you move on to large-scale multi-programmer projects.

Comment on: What were your first projects, and what were some important things you learned from them?

First major projects? Just random things at work, mostly Access tools for data management.

Important things:

pick your tools carefully. Namely if it's programming intensive don't choose Access or anything else VBA based. If I had my choice I would have chosen any other programming setup that allows SQL queries fairly easily.

Comment your code. You won't remember why you had to call a DLL to do something instead of using the built in function. You will try to use the function. It won't work. You'll relearn why you used the DLL. Every. Time.

Don't work on your program in an isolated bubble (unless it's required). Try to get constant input from whoever is going to use what you're making or whoever wants it made.

Comment on: I did my very first code and I feel quite accomplished. Any tips for keep on going?

Keep coding. Find random things to code. Try a few languages before you settle on one. Find what each language is good for and terrible for. Learn the different coding standards that are popular and learn what makes code readable and makes code look good. Try some different IDEs. Try some different operating systems (can have a surprising affect on code development).

That icon though.

Comment on: How Google's New Logo Can be Just 305 Bytes

I don't know how much they focused on size, but this could very well be a token showing that they're heading towards getting everything smaller and more efficient. Even a tiny efficiency increase means lots of power reduction in their end.
