Re: New RPG programmers

[Ben_Pforsich@xxxxxxxxxxxx]

I'm 31, been coding RPG for about 9 years, but I do have a few gray hairs
already.  I can't tell yet if that's due to RPG or my wife.  :)

Personally, I consider myself a Windows coder... I grew up with Windows,
but I somehow got sucked into the 400.  I never took a single class
though... all taught from experience and good mentors.... the best kind of
education!

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.
