Even sadder that (at least here in the States) you'd BETTER be learning it
on your own time. Because if you don't, you're liable to find yourself out
in the street, and some H1-B visa holder sitting in your seat because he HAD
the required skills. Why should they invest anything into training their
developers. That reduces the profit for the shareholders (or venture
capitalists), and after all, developers ARE a renewable resource!!!
