Re: Training

Right on!  (:

I've said a couple of times that an IS department could gain a LOT of good
will if they could dedicate an entry level programmer to those 'nice to
have' enhancements and projects that are just too insignificant for anyone
to waste time on.

For example, a program to let anyone key in a name and address and have a
dedicated printer spit out a FedEx or UPS overnight label?  No scrounging
for a pen, and you can do it from your desk where you have the information
at your fingertips.

If you wander through your company, there are dozens of little fixes or
enhancements that could save users so much drudgework time that you'd have
everyone who actually works in your company worshiping the ground you walk
on, if not actually kissing your feet.   (:
