Re: New RPG programmers

[RPower@xxxxxxxxxx]

I personally have been coding for about 6 years, started with RPGIII, now 
using RPGIV (ILE) and I don't have any gray hairs yet (I hope not) and I"m 
29 years old.  Don't know if I'm considered "NEW" but I don't think I'm 
"OLD" at it.  I went to school at Keyin College here in Newfoundland 
Canada and they use RPG as the language of choice for teaching, so I had 
two years hands on RPG before I even started.

New RPG programmers






Does the community see where the new crop of RPG programmers is coming 
from?
A few long term iSeries sites are evaluating the "graying" of the 
community
(see the MCPress survey).  They are deciding whether to invest in "new" 
RPG
coders as employees and instead only use contractors as the resource.
