The Web Development Skills Crisis

snydeq writes "Fatal Exception's Neil McAllister raises questions regarding Web development skills in an era of constant innovation. Sure, low barriers to entry give underdog technologies ample opportunity to thrive without the backing of name-brand vendors. But doesn't this fragmentation of the Web development market put undue pressure on developers to specialize? Choosing one tool to be your bread and butter from a field this broad is one thing, McAllister writes. Recruiting talent for a Web project when your technology requirements eliminate most of the applicants is another. The result is a crisis, McAllister concludes, one in which maintaining a marketable skill set gets more and more difficult as the so-called state of the art changes on an almost daily basis."

No if I get sick on the job from stress it is because I am mentally ill as I have schzioaffective disorder. Thanks for playing, be sure to read the American's with Disability Act of the 1990's before joining in the 21st century with the rest of us, it must be lonely to be stuck in the 12th century with the Fundamentalist Islamic Radical Terrorists and Classical Managers who don't understand modern concepts.
