There's lots of good programming to be done based on open software (see=20
www.freegis.org) , tools, libraries, OGC/ISO specs (see www.opengis.org)=20
.... enough to build a nice business or three. :-)
Many government agencies are migrating from desktop GIS to clients=20
connected to spatial data infrastructures SDI. a reinvention of GIS to some=
=20
extent. Plenty of room for growth and more programmers.
[Dimitri, save us the reaction that OGC is bad and we should program in=20
MSFT languages and buy Manifold for $75 plus tax]
saludos and happy holidays to all
