Waaaah! Java programmimg is so much more fun than C++ programming. But I guess that overall, it is "pretty" news.
By the way, here is the link as a link.

How much did the author of that article got from his pro-H1B bosses, I wonder. Bunch of crap, pardon my French. Let him try to tackle one of those unfill job positions, if he's ever gonna be able to find one any time soon.

Sorry, Paul. I was reacting to this statement in the news story:
The study advised job seekers that the most fertile ground for IT jobs are companies with more than 1,000 employees, and that the most needed programming skill is C++, followed by Oracle, SQL, Java and Windows NT.
Perhaps this suggests it makes sense to take more advantage of opportunities to program in C++.
The ITAA also has an interesting, freeFAQ to go with their study.
