I have been trying to contact Com wave for the last two days but no response. I want to cancel my home phone service but it seems to be impossible to approach them.I don’t know what to do. Already written two emails to call me on my phone at their convenience.The customer care service has become the worst as even after calling and holding for hrs together no response.

In reply to Doug Lieberg. Sorry Doug, I didn't write the powercoder app for iOS. Wish I could help more.

Is there a fix? thanks -Doug

Comment on It’s not your employer’s job to keep you at the top of your game by Randy

For sure.

That they mention only being able to go to this one because it’s in their back yard got me thinking, though – there also might be a regional difference at work here. My sense is that a lot of people I follow in the US go to conferences more than those in Canada. I wonder if any of that is to do with cost – in the US $250 gets you from one coast to another and back. Up here, I think that gets you from Toronto to Montreal and back, if there’s a sale.

It might also just be that I follow a different crowd of Americans than I do Canadians.

In reply to Randy. Absolutely! It's typically in an employer's best interest to invest in their employee's skill development. I just don't like hearing how some people complain that they're being left behind because their boss wont do it for them.

I definitely agree that developers need to take charge of their own professional development, but in a fast-changing field there should be some consideration given by employers to training and development. Maybe not flying devs out to events far afield, but allowing attendance for a day or two at a conference without cutting into vacation time would be a good start. Odds are the employer is going to benefit from developers experimenting and learning even if they don’t adopt those exact technologies.

I would also say that if an employer doesn’t care about or is getting in the way of professional development, it might be time to look at replacing the employer.

In reply to Ryan.

I used to like Software Engineering Radio, but it’s worn off on me. Too many enterprisey topics, and with some of the new interviewers, the quality just hasn’t been that great.

I will definitely be looking into Entrepreneurial Throught Leaders though, thanks for the tip!

(hope you don’t mind, but I’ve updated your comment with links to the podcasts that you mentioned)

i spend more than one month trying to consume php web service by c#.net client without any success.:(

my problem is:
i have a webservice by using php+ nusoap
i call its methods from php client and send soapheader in the message like this:

$header =’
‘.$token.’
‘;

$client->setHeaders($header);

$client->call(getdata)
it works fine.
i also have a c$.net client, i add my webservice as a web reference and use proxy object to call web methods without soap header and it works fine,
but i don’t know how to add soapheader to the message.

my ideas are:
1- add a soapheader definition to the wsdl file, but i failed cause i
don’t know how to add soapheader manually to wsdl,
i write it bymyself like: to add a web method: $server->register(‘getdata’,
array(),
array(),
$ns,
“$ns#getdata”,
‘rpc’,
‘encoded’,
”
);

2- use httpWebRequest, but i read thad it is not a normal way, and i don’t know it’s disadvantages.
3- user WCF client: but i am new to .net, so i don’t know about wcf and if i can use it to consume my webservice (php+nusoap) with soapheader.

please any idea ????
