the industry is already getting pulled down. echazen, all - i'm sure you are familiar with rentacoder.com? take a look and weep. that's what the future of our industry is. the industry is trending towards thousands of quasi-educated, "self taught" college drop outs (or graduates of IT diploma-mills) that are coding in java and c# competing with coders from india and russia. they are racing to the bottom and they don't know it. echazen is just trying to capitalize on this trend (nothing wrong with that, if that's your cup of tea..) the only thing you can do to counter this is get a formal, theory-based education and then specialize (broad and deep) in something you enjoy and are good at. think ahead. just my $.02 Josh Coates www.jcoates.org -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Wade Preston Shearer Sent: Tuesday, March 29, 2005 3:55 PM To: Provo Linux Users Group Mailing List Subject: Re: Programming partnership wanted > I knew I would get responses like this, and that is fine.
