This has been done or attempted many times, with perhaps the most complete scheme being the British Computer Society's "Industry Standard Model" which breaks jobs/skills in the industry into many categories(30 or so?) and within each category there are up to 6 levels of achievement. (Some skills don't have the lowest levels(e.g. architect) while some only have lower levels. The theory being a level 6 practitioner in and skill is equally "good" as a level 6 in any other skill. One of the skills is programming, and significantly, it is language independent. I don't know if the ISM is still in use, it is many years since I worked with the BCS as the training officer for our office. But there used to be a comprehensive set of web pages describing the requirements for each level for each skill. A quick search for BCS ISM didn't throw up a link, sorry. -- Alan G Author of the Learn to Program web site http://www.alan-g.me.uk/ http://www.amazon.com/author/alan_gauld Follow my photo-blog on Flickr at: http://www.flickr.com/photos/alangauldphotos -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
