Good C# .NET & Visual Studio training in Brisbane?

Hey guys with financial year coming to an end they’ve asked us at work to suggest some useful training. Could anybody recommend a good training provider for .NET C# and Visual Studio? I’m looking for something fairly hands on, actually building a small desktop application in the class would be awesome. submitted by /u/maximum_powerblast [link] [comments]

Converting electric to gas cooking in old-ish apartment – body corporate issues?

I’m in the market to buy a second-hand 2 bed, 70s to 90s brick cavity build apartment within Zone 1 in the next 6 months. A feature important to me is having gas stove-top cooking. I’ve come across several places I really quite like, with the exception they have really shitty electric stoves. When I’ve asked agents how easy it is to upgrade they’ve given me mixed responses ranging from “Sure! that’s super easy” to “ahhhh, won’t be cheap… you’ll have to run it by the bodycorp as you’ll need to drill through walls, potentially rip up some concrete paths (etc)”. There seems to be reliable information around on setting up a LPG solution with gas tanks sitting out on the balcony, but this does not seem like an ideal setup. Connecting to main line natural gas seems better, right? So, anyone got any reliable insight into this? More generally,

Job agency refusing to help with internship

At the moment I’m in the work for the dole phase at an animal shelter, animal rights and animal welfare has always been an interest of mine so it’s right up my alley employment wise, especially since I’ve also been a volunteer and have become fairly experienced there I’ve been wanting to learn more of the role.

I was told to discuss the internship with my job provider and to get them to call the HR manager. When I brought this idea up at my job agency they basically stonewalled me, saying they want me to get a

Career Change. Office to Security

So after 11 years in “office” work I woke up the other morning and decided I wanted to persue a career in (any form of) Security. Has anyone else just completely changed their career and started in the Security career? What’s your experiences? I’m fully aware the hours are going to be shit and all over the place, I’m just over sitting on a PC for 9 hours a day, then going home and wanting to game but can’t be bothered because I’ve already been sitting on a PC all day. I’ve really lost my passion for gaming lately because of this. Back when I was in high school I wanted to join the Police force, however due to bad eyesight in one of my eyes it ruled that option out for me, so I figured Security would be the next best thing for me. I’ve got a small end
