computerworld.com — This is a good list of skills to avoid if you're choosing a career in IT, or at least a benchmark for upgrading your skills level. While some of the jobs, such as Cobol programming are what you'd expect to see, others, like PC network admins were more surprising to me.

Three national conferences and frequent releases of new versions, does that sound like a dying product to you? They have lost all credibility with me.

Give a chimp a typewriter and this is what they come up with. Impressive that the chimp eventually learnt how to form real words and not a random serious of letters, but, predictably, the content was beyond what the chimp understands. No banana for you. Okay, let the penguins have a go now. Ooh, too late - looks like the crocodile has eaten the chimp and the typewriter. Buried by Digg. Good.

Mary Brandel should have her job credentials seriously checked. I think the editors are just as much to blame for taking advice and trends on programming languages from someone who shows obvious ignorance on the subject. I am a computer science major who has spent the last 12 years of my life in front of a screen writing code. I have experience with multiple languages, and there is none that even comes close to the ease of use and rapid application development of ColdFusion. The language is alive and well, and the improvements in the new version 8 (Scorpio) are just AMAZING!!! ColdFusion was, is, and hopefully will always be at the forefront of web application technologies.

buried for not having a clue about ColdFusion. she could have even walked down the hall and just asked her fellow IDG (IDGEntertainment.com) colleagues to get the real poop on CF.obviously a fluff piece...

VSAM still holds over 60% of the data kept in the world...figures touted by IBM....last time I checked VSAM was a non-relational data base. Why are companies still using it? Performance!
