Untried and/or untrue?
From The X Journal, November-December 1994, pg 6 (a very C/C++ oriented
magazine from SIGS Pulications, which also publishes the C++ Report and
Journal of OOP):
Forrester Research in Cambridge Massachusetts surveyed MIS executives
from 51 of the Fortune 1000 companies. Only 12% of the software staff
were experienced in C programming, and only 3% in OOP.
--
I haven't read the study, but probably only means that many companies
are outsourcing their MIS software development or buying COTS. And
those companies left which haven't gone those routes have a large
mainframe legacy they are loathe to re-engineer.
Would anyone who has actually read the report care to comment?
Curtis
