Seeking C# training opportunity

Danie Truter

Hi - I am a software developer in South-Africa and my wife is going to New York in March 2016 (7-13) and I am tagging along for fun. But I was thinking while I am there maybe I can improve my skills by doing free temp C# development at a company and learn from peers... or something similar - do a course that is relevant to industry in C#...

So I was hoping somebody may guide me in a direction on how to make contact maybe with companies in New York to help me or who is willing to let me work their or just allow me to "browse" non core projects so that I can maybe improve my skills? I know this sounds on sided, but if you can think of a way that the company can gain something from me as well then I will consider it - eg training courses then I will obviously have to pay for it...

Thanks in advance and thanks for a great forum.

Thanks Danie, Even though dates are outside your travel dates, I would highly recommend to connect and initiate an email communication with Chapter Leadds of NY and NJ C# Corner Chapters. May be you can meet over coffee and get some leads towards your interest to work while you are in USA.

Please do accept answer to close the thread.

Thanks

Hi Danie,

I am not certain if any company can hire or allow someone to do what you are aspiring for; while travelling with your spouse to New York City USA.

However, besides all other Professional Networking I would highly recommend to make some advance moves towards "C# Corner Chapters" http://www.c-sharpcorner.com/chapters/
Today C# Corner has Chapters in almost all major cities in India and USA. There are two C# Corner Chapters new NY, one is in New York and another one in New Jersey, if you are willing to travel then there is another one in Wilmiington, Delaware.

Please look at the http://www.c-sharpcorner.com/chapters/ and explore this via Chapters Tab and see what Networking opportunities are there for you. If you happen to be in Seattle, WA area then connect with me :)

Best Wishes and safe travels.
