[plug] Best Comp Science Uni: UWA/Curtin/ECU/???

[WFerrara at vicpark.wa.gov.au]

Hello, Daniel!

Experience; experience; experience!  Study (and pieces of paper) in this
field are only a bonus.

If you can demo ability they will love you - even tolerate bad manners.
(Alas! With my bad temper, and lack of experience, I have a big problem.)

Regards,
wayne.

Hi Darrell and Fabricio and everyone,
One things for sure - after Fabricio completes his studies in Brazil he
probably won't meet a potential employer who has any preference for which
uni he went to in WA!  I look forward to hearing some good objective
observations that can help him make his decision! (and give me insight - I
wish I'd studied 'it' years ago)
Regards,
Daniel.
