Re: Ada Skill Assessments

[Joe Wisniewski <wisniew@acm.org>]

Agreed. No difference.

Several points:
1. Got to start somewhere if we are going to start.
2. Although, it might be worthwhile, in theory, to talk about
    whether someone is "certified" in OO, I as an employer/client
    would be much more interested in whether this knowledge
    translates to "certifiability" in Ada or Smalltalk or C++ or
    Java or whatever.

   I really get the feeling out here that clients are simply
   not interested in doing real training. (OJT can take care of
   it) AND they are really getting frustrated with the job shops
   that sell Ada talent that is just not there.

   I see a lot of frustration among the higher talented Ada people out
   there that the spread of salary/rates is NOT commensurate with the
   "spread" of capabilities.
