Re: The economy and developers

["Chris Rehm" <javadisciple@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm in the Sacramento area and it has seen big changes over the last few
years. There have been a lot of midrange shops close down and move out of
the area, and this area has experienced a glut of AS/400 programmers. There
still seems to be plenty of jobs on Dice, but I know this area doesn't see
many of them.

Around here, there is a lot of Java work, scarce RPG.

If you believe that the best technology wins the
marketplace, you haven't been paying attention.
