Hot Tech Skills For 2006?

linumax writes "Computerworld is running a 3 page story on what tech skills will be in demand for the coming year. They suggest developers, security experts and project managers are in demand. It also comes up with some good news. FTA: 'Despite the notion that hordes of U.S. IT jobs are being sent offshore, in reality, less than 5% of the 10 million people who make up the U.S. IT job market had been displaced by foreign workers through 2004, says Scot Melland, president and CEO of Dice Inc., a New York-based online jobs service. The numbers of jobs posted on Dice.com from January through September for developers, project managers and help desk technicians rose 40%, 47% and 45%, respectively, compared with the same period in 2004, says Melland.'"

Re:The most important skill

FWIW, I'm consistently quoted in real life print trade magazines. I can only find one article on the web (from 2002). Just do a search for my name (ADAM DADA) in the article for a little quote by me and a confirmation of my status as an IT specialist.

I generally don't defend my life, but the 2 e-mails I just received were violent enough that I felt a public post was necessary.

Re:Interesting idea. A question, though...
