Hi,

As a GIS industry newcomer, I'm in process of prioritizing my research steps, selecting tools and technologies that would be mostly essential and relevant for future job search.

Concerning client software it is quite simple - without ArcGIS you'll definitely would be out of range. But server mapping has several

I am sure that postgis/grass/qgis(or openjump) users are not missing ArcView any more.

possibilities - whether to focus on spatial databases - mostly Oracle Spatial or PostGIS, or to look for server middleware like GeoServer\MapServer or Oracle MapViewwer. I'm from Oracle space, so their products are mostly familiar to me.

I like PostGIS for its simplicity, free availability and great community support. I've already made some demo stands with uDig\qgis with PostGIS backend and tuned GeoServer to work with PostGIS layers. But the question is - are there serious business demand for OpenGIS profies? monster.co.uk, reed.co.uk and gis-jobs.co.uk return no (zero) jobs with postgis keyword.

What whould you suggest?

Well, while the common opinion will be that "without ArcGIS You'll definitely would be out of range" it will be no better.

Tomas

Thanks and best regards,
Alex
