Really?  Not in my neck of the woods....  Most of the folks we
interview have a procedural programming background, and most have
used VB in the past.  Having them pickup VBScript for ASP is a
cakewalk compared to them figuring out the whole "shove your code
into the middle of perfectly good HTML" thing...  

We hire programmers, not monkies, so formal training is *very* seldom
necessary.  Our guys can learn new tricks fairly quickly...

But that's just my experience...

Best regards,
Zac Bedell
