Re: Future Programmers - The future of IBM i

Just wanted to point out that the intent of _this_ specific initiative is to develop new IBM i literati through the community college system.

There is certainly a need for other programs - and personally I'd like to see someone come up with an initiative to re-train unemployed experienced business folks - which would be a back-to-the-future scenario for the midrange!

P.S. I agree that musicians (even if not formally trained) often make excellent programmers.

I've always maintained that it's easier to teach a business major
to program business applications than it is to teach
somebody with a computer science degree.

There's a big difference between creating balance sheets
and income statements and writing compilers.
