Ben Forta brought up some interesting facts at one of the panels at Powered By Detroit.
He has it on good word, from one of the "major recruiting firms in the US" (paraphrased) that when they are looking for ColdFusion developer's they don't look for ColdFusion developers. They leave CF off the job description completely. They look for Java developers, under the assumption they can learn CF in a day or so. It may explain, in part, the perception (Reality) that there are less CF jobs than other technologies. He also said "Your inability to find a job is not our problem." Although that sounds a bit heartless, I do agree with the sentiment. He followed that up with a slightly more optimistic assertion that keep yourself dutifully employed, you need to know more than just ColdFusion. I agree with that. This email does not contain any direct quotes, its all paraphrased based on my understanding. -- Jeffry Houser, Web Developer, Writer, Songwriter, Recording Engineer AIM: Reboog711 | Phone: 1-203-379-0773 -- My Books: <http://www.instantcoldfusion.com> My Recording Studio: <http://www.fcfstudios.com> Connecticut Macromedia User Group: <http://www.ctmug.com> ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Logware (www.logware.us): a new and convenient web-based time tracking application.
