OO-XQ-OO: to do or not to do

[Hans-Juergen Rennau]

Martin,

you wrote:

"And yes, using XQuery, XSLT, XProc, XForms, X... for the XML-focused
parts of your application is a huge improvement over manual DOM
fiddling. But that is hardly news, is it? "

Not to *us* - it would be ridiculous to tell this anyone already interested in xquery-talk. But do you think this is commonly understood by OO developers, do you think the "average" OO project checks this option and then makes a decision pro or con?

Having read your response I visited a jobboard website and made a little test. Results:

Java  -  514 jobs
Java and XSLT - 26 jobs 
===> 5.1 % of the Java job openings would appreciate XSLT skills

C# - 232 jobs
C# and XSLT - 3 jobs 
===> 1.3 % of the C# job openings would appreciate XSLT skills

C++ - 164 jobs
C++ and XSLT - 4 jobs
===> 2.4 % of the C++ job openings would appreciate XSLT skills

XQuery - ZERO jobs 
===> 0 % of the Java/C#/c++ job openings would appreciate XQuery skills

XProc - ZERO jobs 
===> 0 % of the Java/C#/c++ job openings would appreciate XProc skills

Good night!
Hans-Juergen
