The Humble Programmer:
http://www.cs.utexas.edu/users/EWD/ewd03xx/EWD340.PDF
Edsger W. Dijkstra passed away on August 7, 2002. Mr. Dijkstra
was the source of much wisdom in Computer Science, and we are all
in his debt. Much of what we now take for granted (i.e. the
semaphores in the Linux kernel) is rooted in his work. The Humble
Programmer was Dijkstra's 1972 Turing Award lecture; it can be
obtained as a difficult to read PDF file. his obituary is here:
http://www.cs.utexas.edu/users/UTCS/notices/dijkstra/ewdobit.html.

thirteen hundred written works was digitally scanned and is

9) Frequently Asked Questions about Technical Training:
Each month Scott Turton will answer one of the frequently asked
questions we receive about computer and IT training and career
development.
September 2002 FAQ: Is there a demand for IT workers?
Answer:
Although there is evidence that the demand for IT workers has
decreased, many industries will see an increase in hiring in the
near future (3-12 months out). A good article to read is
"Bouncing Back: Jobs, Skills and the Continuing Demand for IT
Workers" <http://www.dice.com/itaa.html> which states the
following:
"Companies are optimistic about future hirings over the next
twelve months. They project an aggregate demand for IT workers of
1,148,639 in 2002, of which they expect 578,711 positions to go
unfilled due to a lack of qualified workers, referred to as the
"gap" in IT workers. While demand is up 27% over 2001, it is only
71% of the level measured in 2000. Over the three years demand
and gap have been counted by ITAA, gap remains consistently
around 50% of total demand."
"C++, followed by Oracle, SQL, Java and Windows NT are the
hottest, most in demand IT skills as determined by the new
ITAA/Dice Tech Skills Profile."
Taking a longer term perspective, of the top 10 growth
occupations (during the 1998-2008 period) from the U.S. Bureau of
Labor Statistics, the first is System Analysts (577,000) and the
eighth is Computer Support Specialists (439,000)
<http://www.bls.gov/opub/working/page9b.htm>. Also see this page:
"Workers with computer skills are in demand":
<http://www.bls.gov/opub/working/page8a.htm>.
I hope this information helps you.
