And of course.... all the old arguments still apply. Like "how many J2EE developers (and how long) would it take to put together
an online commerce site that could become the #1 music retailer in the world?" ;-)


You may be able to find them more easily but how productive are they?

IMO, there's no excuse for somebody saying there aren't any good WO developers to hire these days. I know of several who are working on J2EE stuff that would gladly jump to a WO project if one came up. I'm more than happy to be working in WO now, I actually think it's much better now than just a few years ago. At least I feel like there's more WO going on these days (I actually got a WO call from a recruiter the other day, yikes!)

Don't give up WO because of all these reasons--do what I do and show them that WO is better for all the right reasons and make them come around. There are lots of reasons to stick with it.

Perhaps they've not been paying attention to the mailings lists. (specifically: webobjects-dev, wonder-disc, woproject-dev).

I think they meant "lack of unemployed, knowledgeable WebObjects programmers". Most (all?) of us are gainfully employed most of the time. Good WO developers are a little hard to find.

I'm having a lull at the moment if anybody wants to discuss anything... :)


cheers.
