Re: Future Programmers - The future of IBM i

I taught RPG and AS/400 (yes) courses for 16 years at a community college.
Distance learning too. I think there's a place for it, but it's a different
world than it used to be. I think there may be value in teaching
integration techniques along with modern RPG and ILE, but there are enough
graybeards around to handle the old stuff.

My counter to this is that Community Colleges are more responsive to

businesses. I could go on, but it's not really applicable to a technical
forum.

Yeah. Most of the schools on the list are tech schools or junior colleges
which kind of equates a career with welding or refrigeration repair.
