I was wondering what the "real" language was. ABAP is like a cruel joke....

It's the worst thing I've ever seen in my life. They may be able to make more money, but this is NOT programming as you and I know it. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of will Sent: Thursday, June 14, 2007 08:07 To: [email protected] Subject: [U2] List of MV Database Experts Is there a list of MV experts reachable via the Internet? I am thinking that such list would give name or company name and contact information along with number of years with MV and perhaps flavors as well as applications. This would provide an on-line source for help, especially in geographical areas where that help is sparse. If the number of MV users in rising as indicated in some of the messages on this list, we might all gain new business. If the reverse is true, then we can see that it is time to jump ship and learn SAP (Are the Germans winning the software wars?). Such a list of course raises the fear that employers will see the competition between us and try to drive down consulting fees and wages (can they get any lower?). However, I think that the difficulties managing off-shore programming and poor quality may have taught some of the employers a bitter lesson as to what "cheap" really means. Of course there will always be those whose attitude is similar to the man with a brain tumor who found a "certified" surgeon who would remove it for $29.95/hour including travel time.
