Hi folks,

I'm a german programmer. It might sound naive when I ask in a forum for an internship in countries like america, australia or any other english-speaking country. But maybe someone has at least a hint for me to whom I could send my application documents. I'm a 23-year old student, studying computer science in Munster (Westphalia). I wrote the free delphi/directx-documentation SelfDXD which is very popular in Germany and a book about programming in Delphi and Directx 9, called "Directx 9 fA¼r Delphi". Before I complete my studies, I would like to do an internship in a foreign country ideally in a software company or in the computer center of a big company. Can anyone of you arrange an internship for me in his own company or does anyone have a tip where it's worth to apllying an application?

My references:
- author of SelfDXD (=> Delphi) (http://www.minfos.de/selfdxd/)
- author of the book "DirectX 9 in Delphi" (=> Delphi) (http://www.amazon.de/exec/obidos/ASI...722761-1460837, http://www.martinpyka.de/?postid=329)
- I wrote an AI for a Japanese board game called Daimyo (=> Delphi) (http://www.gzwo.com/html/info_dye.html)
- I have written a backup tool for the leading software company that produces applications for dental practice (=> Delphi) (http://www.datext.de)
- currently I'm involved in a computer linguistic project at my university. I write a tool for building a ressource of phrase-structure-trees and predicate-argument-structures of parallel textcorpora (=> Java)
- furthermore I'm concerned with a software project that deals with independent component analysis (ICA). We write a benchmarking tool that allows to test various algorithms according to their quality they separate mixed signals. (=> Matlab) (http://wwwmath.uni-muenster.de/SoftC...005/index.html)

I have extensive experiences with the following programming languages:
Delphi, Java, Matlab, Mathematica, Prolog

I'm familiar with:
C++, PHP, MySQL, Haskell, Lisp

Of course I can also work with:
HTML + CSS 3, various Windows applications, various Linux applications

special interests:
Artificial Intelligence and Life (Agent Simulations, Neural Networks, Language learning), 3D graphics.

Because I'm not so familiar with the english-speaking programming-communities: do you have any hints where it's worth to post this text in other forums?
