Hi Wendell, I have been in this list for a very very long time and had noticed a lot of posters that come from USA. So this was something that got me thinking that there probably are many programmers / jobs into XML/XSLT in the USA, so thaz where the "huge presence" came from, also going by the size of the country multiplied by the number of companies, it had formed enough basis for my assumption... in UK/Aus, UK especially ( being a very small country) , I have seen a lot of people who ask for Specialist XSLT/XML developers. Just when we think we have explored "n" number of clients in the country, a totally "unheard of" client ends up calling for XSLT developers offering a very good rate.. This keeps the contractors engaged and encouraged to be doing the XSLT development..So that was what I was referring to when I said "enough companies in USA " who are into the XSLT development. USA as I hear is a "generalist" techy oriented place.. Where XSLT may not be the core skill someone is looking for. Which makes me think ,why and how some generalist will keep himself abreast of technologies like XSLT3 etc, if all he wants is a job anyone can do, mainly Java J2EE development with some XML skills.. I am sure there are specialist companies in the USA like mulberrytech, marklogic, IBM etc, who probably do XML day in and day out/..but for some reason I don't see them asking for people. One slant on this, with a UK bias. Given n aspects to a workflow involving XML, XSLT, it is often the XSLT skills that are hardest to find which may explain why it receives emphasis in the adverts. If, in reality it is a minor aspect,of the work, the interviewer is unlikely to know enough to judge the interviewees level of expertise. I wonder how many $employers still believe XSLT 1.0 is still current? regards -- Dave Pawson XSLT XSL-FO FAQ. http://www.dpawson.co.uk
