Ok, someone posted about a virus or something? Well, I get those anoying Microsoft "Net Pack 'this' and Critical 'that'" messages as well. So, just to make sure I am "clean" I ran the FixSwen removal tool and checked all the registry keys for the information listed on Symantec's website. I am officially clean peoples. On to the subject... I am trying to streamline my company services. Right now I offer all kinds of "computer" services and I feel I am getting stretched too thin and my resume (completed projects) is getting too many small projects in it. It seems to show lack of focus. I am now considering focusing most of my attention on Ada. Software Engineering with Ada and Ada Programming. There are others like Java, C++ and Assembly but I want to focus majority on Ada. So what does the employment market for Ada look like from your point of view? Would you recommend "going Ada" to your friends? What are some programs I can write, that you know are impressive in the Ada "market", to demonstrate my skills? Any advice to offer? Best place to look for Ada jobs? Anyone looking for a volunteer or employee? Hopefully I have not violated the rules of this list by posting this. Thanks! Andrew C.
