I didn't say pure pascal programmers with no other skills. most pascal programmers know databases, Assembly, and C. They also usually know at least one scripting language such as PHP. > needed are people who can actually engineer software and that > particular skill has nothing to do with language skills (of course, if > all else fails, I'd rather hire a Pascal guy than a "There *are* other > languages than C?"-guy, because the Pascal guy might grasp the concepts > much easier). I plan to hire/pay Pascal programmers at some point for future commercial projects. Who will I hire? Probably the folks that have worked with me on open source projects before. If not hiring per hour - I mean contract jobs too. Or people who I've found helpful on a mailing list. People even get jobs by visiting wiki's.. a few people have gotten jobs off c2 wiki and others. It's all about networking isn't it? Lots of linux guru's get hired off by microsoft simply by starting up yet another linux distribution. (sorry to the fellow at gentoo, who now does not work for microsoft). _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
