The thing that qualifies someone to be a computer professional in its true sense (where software is concerned anyhow) is the ability to write GOOD software, and the definition of good will change depending upon the environment you are working in. Good in an emergency situation is a fix that works and gets the system live again however it is done. Good in a production environment means reliable and stable. Good in a performance dictated situation means fast and reliable. It's just like driving. All drivers make mistakes, the difference between a good driver and a bad driver is that the good driver will always know whenever he/she has made a mistake and the majority of outsiders/onlookers will never ever notice the mistake. The bad driver is just a danger to others because he doesn't understand the ramification(s) of making a mistake - or even worse, what a mistake constitutes. Remember you don’t have to be able to read music to be a great musician. I'll take natural talent as opposed to paper qualifications any day of the week. Try and teach dancing to someone who has no sense of rhythm and you'll see exactly what I mean. Having all the paper qualifications only gives you a head start in the ability to understand basic methodology but there is absolutely NO substitute for experience and natural ability in this business.

BTW, you do not need a degree in architecture to be an architect, or a law degree to be an attorney (I am not sure about medicine and accounting). You can become a licensed professional through well-documented experience. Of course you still need to take and pass the state licensing exam. And I dare say that if a similarly-structured arrangement existed for people like us, a good number would pass the exam and gain grandfather status, others would fail, and still others would walk away or do nothing because the effective date for all of the lead-ins to congeal would probably be 6 to 10 years off. What is needed to achieve widespread licensing is a catalyst such as a massive lapse of public safety or security that could be laid at the feet of the profession as it exists today. There are no questions of impartiality or any nonsense like that. Those arguments are specious. All professions have competing suppliers who will do almost anything to get and keep business ... ruthlessly and illegally too! But the basics of these professions: the chemistry of life, anatomy, legal precedent, torts, etc. are independent of commercialism. Intel and AMD may be making a lot of bits, but they did not invent them. A thorough understanding of algorithmic principles, database, some math, regression, ETHICS, etc. is what should qualify someone to be a computer professional.

RE: [OT] Cracking down on CEO salaries
Customers still do stick with you if you do good work and provide good service for them. Tomorrow, I'm going to a client that I first did work for in July, 1982. His business keeps growing and he keeps calling me back. First I developed an app with GW-BASIC, then FoxBase, then Visual FoxPro 3, 5 and now 9. At one point, he even lent me money during one of my drought periods. Today I'm going to a client that I've had since October, 1999. We started off in the wrong direction early on, but turned it around. Since then, we've always tried to develop the best system for their needs and nothing more. Sometimes I've suggested things that resulted in less money for us. Maybe that's part of why they stick with us. Next week I'm off to see a client that I've had since May 1990. Their sales were $5 million. By Feb, 2006, their sales were over $200 million. They were bought by a publicly traded company last year for $485 million. While there is more bureaucracy with the now public company, they still stick with me. There are other long time clients that continue to stick with us But then that maybe only a result of the Canadian business climate. Only in Canada you say?

Good in a performance dictated situation means fast and reliable. It's just like driving. All drivers make mistakes, the difference between a good driver and a bad driver is that the good driver will always know whenever he/she has made a mistake and the majority of outsiders/onlookers will never ever notice the mistake. The bad driver is just a danger to others because he doesn't understand the ramification(s) of making a mistake - or even worse, what a mistake constitutes.

BTW, you do not need a degree in architecture to be an architect, or a law degree to be an attorney (I am not sure about medicine and accounting). You can become a licensed professional through well-documented experience. Of course you still need to take and pass the state licensing exam. And I dare say that if a similarly-structured arrangement existed for people like us, a good number would pass the exam and gain grandfather status, others would fail, and still others would walk away or do nothing because the effective date for all of the lead-ins to congeal would probably be 6 to 10 years off. What is needed to achieve widespread licensing is a catalyst such as a massive lapse of public safety or security that could be laid at the feet of the profession as it exists today. There are no questions of impartiality or any nonsense like that. Those arguments are specious. All professions have competing suppliers who will do almost anything to get and keep business ... ruthlessly and illegally too!

RE: [NF] Microsoft Caught out - Naughty, Naughty!
As a young kid, I worked as an electricians helper and carpenters helper. I have also worked as a marine electrician at bath iron works on naval frigates. When everything went to hell on me, I thought about opening a business as an electrician, but I found out that the entry bar is very high as you have to serve as an apprentice, etc, for a very long time. So in a nutshell, I too sometimes think that licenses are sometimes utilized to keep people out of the business, even if the license may have originally been planned with the best of intentions.

Re: [NF] Microsoft Caught out - Naughty, Naughty!
I don't agree -- we can agree to disagree that that understanding can be quantified and certified and should be. You CAN'T QUANTIFY the artistic side of anything! If you can't quantify it, you can't reasonably certify it. I guess I'm old school. I come from the time when there was no understanding of media and methods. There were these things called computers made out of lots of vacuum tubes and we had to learn to rigorously talk their language (except somewhat for Bouroughs :-) ) and we had to translate real world needs into these bizarre, literal language structures with no schematic for how to do so (except the IF statement -- that's a really good one!). So we winged it. I am also a musician. certifying musicians is total bullshit. You can be TRAINED, a little, to use the tools of the art but, if one is really good, one can shake off most of that crap and begin to be an artist. I'm glad I no longer make my living in computers 'cause folks, it's getting to be way too regimented and structured for my artist's taste... Certify away!!

RE: [NF] All the Write Stuff
= = It's a decade old, but a very well-written piece: = = http://www.fastcompany.com/online/06/writestuff.html = = Ted Roche = It reminds me of the way we did things 40 years ago. Nothing online ... everything was batch. During a good week, you could get 4 turnarounds. You wrote code and bench-checked it at least twice. Then you keypunched the code and you spent a lot of time looking at all the little holes in the cards to make sure that you punched it right and did not get a used card (with someone else's punches) in your deck. Then you submitted it and rested a bit. Then repeat the process. Write, bench-check, review the last run. Slow. Methodic. And now that you have a clean compilation, a decent object module, and an executable (no, Microsoft did not invent all those things; they can't even steal them without screw-ups), you tested your program. You used a carefully assembled collection of data that blew the program in the past (regression testing) and new data that exercised whatever you were coding new. And when the reporting was done, half-a-dozen of your co-workers got to rip it apart (or try to) just for the fun of it. And when it went into production, you were justifiably proud and everyone in the organization knew how much effort went into making it good and appreciated your effort. You were the star of the day (or week) because you did everything by the book. And then somebody said ... OLTP ... instant gratification! ... and that was the beginning of the age of progress.

Re: [NF] All the Write Stuff
They also have unlimited time and money to do their work. Software development will probably diverge into two paths -- one boring and predictable for critical applications and the other interesting and artsy. In some ways, it already has. In my life I've been lucky enough to spend about 30 of my 42 programming years on one-person projects with relatively complete autonomy and could indulge my artistic tendencies because I'm also VERY GOOD at designing interfaces that real people can use with minimal frustration. So, I guess I've mainly been on the artsy track. Those few harrowing years when I was a tiny cog in a big (slow, inefficient, hypocritical corporate) environment -- didn't have fun...didn't get much done...

Nothing online ... everything was batch. During a good week, you could get 4 turnarounds. You wrote code and bench-checked it at least twice. Then you keypunched the code and you spent a lot of time looking at all the little holes in the cards to make sure that you punched it right and did not get a used card (with someone else's punches) in your deck. Then you submitted it and rested a bit. Then repeat the process. Write, bench-check, review the last run. Slow. Methodic. And now that you have a clean compilation, a decent object module, and an executable (no, Microsoft did not invent all those things; they can't even steal them without screw-ups), you tested your program. You used a carefully assembled collection of data that blew the program in the past (regression testing) and new data that exercised whatever you were coding new. And when the reporting was done, half-a-dozen of your co-workers got to rip it apart (or try to) just for the fun of it. And when it went into production, you were justifiably proud and everyone in the organization knew how much effort went into making it good and appreciated your effort.

Why yes I do, and I also understand that some planets have it and some don't. So which one is correct ?

Group think is a derogatory term that implies that the only reason for anyone holding that position is because nearly everyone else does, too.

Anyhow, Ricardo, many thanks for below example.
Unfortunately, it is not quite right. It gives me the result for the
most recent 52 records
I need the result for the most recent 52 records PER EMPLOYEE (empcode)
Are you able to assist, please
I would have wanted to do :
select my.empcode, sum(my.gross) as GrossTotal ;
into cursor newtable ;
from mytable my ;
where my.cycle in (SELECT x.cycle ;
FROM (SELECT TOP 52 aux.cycle, RECNO();
from mytable as aux ;
where aux.empcode = my.empcode ;
order by 2 desc) as x) ;
order by empcode ;
group by empcode
But I cant. The only think I could think of would be :
create cursor myresult (empcode C(10), gross N(10,2), cycle N(5))
select empcode into cursor emps from mytable group by empcode
scan
select empcode, sum(gross) as GrossTotal ;
into cursor newtable ;
from mytable my ;
where my.cycle in (SELECT x.cycle ;
FROM (SELECT TOP 52 aux.cycle, RECNO();
from mytable as aux ;
where aux.empcode=emps.empcode ;
order by 2 desc) as x) ;
and my.empcode = emps.empcode
group by empcode ;
order by empcode
select myresult
append from dbf('mytable')
use in select('mytable')
select emps
endscan
But can't think of something with SQL only. You might also use an
INSERT INTO myresult SELECT (and here comes the select)
as the only instruction inside the scan. Don't know if it will work
being myresult a cursor (maybe dbf('mycursor')?).
Beware, haven't had the time to test the code, its coming from the top
of my head.
As for books, I have :

If you want the last 52 cycles (sequentially last) :
select empcode ;
into cursor newtable ;
from mytable my ;
where my.cycle in (SELECT x.cycle ;
FROM (SELECT TOP 52 aux.cycle, RECNO();
