7 AnswersEngineering4 years agoconfused about software engineering career?
Hi,
i'm actually writing this out of desperation.
I studied electrical engineering, i majored in power systems. I had the opportunity to work at AMD for a year during my undergrad. This got me interested in software engineering however i still decided to major in power unfortunately.
Right after graduation i lost interest in power systems and started to learn computer networks. I enrolled in computer network masters program and I recently graduated from Masters in computer networks and now i am back to square one, i'm interested in software development. Although i am working as a systems/network engineer right now, i don't see myself in operations in the long run. I want to switch careers to software development.
I can code in java, python etc, if i was to rate myself i would put myself at intermediate level from programming perspective.
The problem is i want to study software engineering/development properly from scratch. since i can't afford (time wise) to take a year off and study and learn software development in an institute, i was wondering if there was a certification path i could take. for example in computer networking if i wanted to learn things myself, i could have taken CCNA, CCNP and CCIE. similarly is there anything for programming.
i have tried udemy etc but there is nothing too serious in there
My long term goal is a be in software engineering position. I want to be a software architect. Please help!

2 AnswersComputer Networking6 years agolicencing idea?
I have a product(patent pending) that I am presenting to a company. It will be under an NDA however they declined to agree that "ownership of any improvements: I own all the improvements.".
So my question is; if i show them my product and they improve it. can they get a patent on it and they won't need to pay me anything? and the money i am using to patent my current product will goto waste?
1 AnswerOther - Business & Finance7 years agopatenting product improvement.?
There is an product that is in the market and i am improving it. The product in the market is made in three parts(top, middle and bottom). There is no way to improve the middle and bottom part but i can significantly improve the top part. If i file a patent on the improvement and licence it to a company could i get royalties? or how does improvement patent work? will the orignal inventor get money?

1 AnswerComputer Networking7 years agoNDA and Patent in Canada, testing water before getting a patent?
I have a product. The only thing that’s stopping me from presenting to companies is that I do not have a patent so I want to ask a question regarding NDA; If I was to present my product to companies (with NDA), can they "re-invent" my product and "copy/steal" my idea/product? What values does NDA hold and how do I present my idea to companies without them copying my idea (without having a patent). Because from what I have learned is that, first to market wins. Also getting a patent issued is a very long and tedious process as it almost never gets issued on the first run, so before I make any further investments I want to run my idea by a few companies and see what they think. If it’s something that they’ll be interested in I will get a patent.

Engineering8 years agoPatents in Canada, is there such thing as provincial patent in canada?
Hi,
Like in United State, there is something called provincial patents(costs < 200$) which gives a right to the interventor to call his invention patent pending for a year so he can make deals with companies etc and then get a full patent. It is also cheaper then getting patents directly. Is there such thing in canada as well?

2 AnswersOther - Home & Garden8 years agorigid as styro-foam, compressible as sponges... what is the material?!?
i need a material that is can be compressed but will return to it's original shape but it has to be rigid so it can lift "x" amount of weight.
so lets say this is the material, laying horizontally: "---------------"
now if i compress is horizontally it should be compressible --(force)-->"-----" <--(force)--
& if i put force on it from the top or bottom it should not bend:
||||||||||||
----------
||||||||||||
"|" line is force
is there any material that fulfills that criteria?
