Linux, security projected hot skills for 2005

Linux, security projected hot skills for 2005 This TechTarget article references the Certmag article which I talked about back on Dec 12th.

One thing to point out though is they do have some nice comments from David Foote of Foots Partners and Tony Lams of D.H. Brown and Assoc Inc which adds to what the previous article talks about.

One of the ideas which is starting to go around is the talent wars are arming back up. those with the talent, experience, and certification will be in high demand. Remember, any one who worked on their IT skills throughout the 90's was paid very well by teh end of the decade, either in an outright paycheck or by staying with one company throughout most of the time and growing from within the company.

Anyone who thinks they can sit on their laurels and advance through attrition should find themselves falling further behind those who work on their skills.

2005 will be an exciting year.
