I want to become a developer.But I am working as a Qa Analyst now. Do you think I can do that?
Please suggest me which programming language is good. Java or .net?

For the first part of your question, probably you will best know if you will be able to do it or not, But I can assure you, you can do it, provided you put in required effort.

As for Java and .NET, actually .NET is not a programming language.
You can start with C, C++, for the basics and then you can decide on which you want to do development work viz Java or .NET.

Thanks

Thank you very much Mr. Harry for the suggestion. I have dome java programming 7 years back. But then I was completely out of touch and started as a QA tester 1 1/2 yrs back.
Can any one suggest that its good to move to programming field or continue in testing. But I am interested in both. Paywise programming is good. Do you agree?
You can openly suggest me.

I hope its paywise good if you do programming, but there are cases even a QA professional is earning more than a programer.
But your question depends your age and your efforts to switch to programing
If at all you want to switch to programing then I would suggest you to choose classic vb first and then vb.net and so on...(hoping you will be having the basic fundamentals of programing language)

yes, its good pay. I think I can put the effort needed. I am 29 yr old with family and kids. Thanks for the suggestion. Please let me know whether it will effect the resume. As I am in QA now, Can I make a resume as a fresher or its tough to find jobs like that?

I dont think your age will effect the resume, but what I mean is if you are young then you will have enough time to learn and earn else it will be difficult for you to learn and work

I want to become a developer / programmer. Presently, I worked as a data entry and analizer in a d-base called galileo. The back end is SQL.
How can I begin the programming training?

Can you share what is the job profile involved as Quality Analyst. I am a newb in this field, and i'm interesting to become one. Thanks in advance.

if u like to become powerful developer, Java/J2EE is suitable for u otherwise u can choose .net. but java is just complex but u can achieve more in java.

if u like to become powerful developer Java/J2EE is for U otherwise choose .NET but J2EE is just difficult but U can achieve more in Java
