Has there been any serious discussions of this issue as it relates
to Ada skill assessments?
(I'll answer my own question :--) )
Among the last several "Ada clients" for which I have done work,
I am seeing, in general, a degradation of skilled Ada talent. Now,
upon closer analysis, the "actual" skills that I am seeing "lacking"
may or may not be due to one or more of the following:
over-influx of "young talent" (Refer to previous posts on c.l.a.
wrt "Looking for Jr. Ada people")
general lack of engineering skills
lack of OO training/experience
lack of _effective_ Ada training/experience
(I emphasize _effective_ because I am seeing many organizations
going to these 1 or 2 day internal Ada training classes and
claiming their engineers are now "Ada proficient".)
Since the amount of available Ada work FAR exceeds the available
skilled Ada talent, is it not now the time for ACM/SigAda or
some association of vendors/clients/headhunters related to Ada talent
to come up with an assessment.
Feasibility? Need? Want?
Thoughts?
Something to have a "Birds of a Feather" meeting in Redondo on?
