Specialty GIS Development Job Market Observation [modified]

bwahahaa... I think I'm going to look into this GIS thing... sounds interesting...
Charlie Gilley Will program for food... Whoever said children were cheaper by the dozen... lied. Yeah, whatever....
It is great fun! There is also allot going on with the mass consumer through things like google earth and what not as well as some open source gis apps. I warn you, there is allot of specialty lingo. Let me know and I could shoot you some sites to look at to get you started. I would first look at ESRI.com though.

Aaron - already have a window open over there - firefox is too easy to use at times. I'm going to watch some free training videos, maybe look for a book on the theory....

The hardest thing is actually figuring out all the terminology and the lack of good documentation. Also the information sites can get a bit uneven in content. Try http://www.spatiallyadjusted.com/[^] and http://www.davebouwman.net/ [^]. These are two of the big guy in the GIS sphere and Dave is great at development GIS stuff. Sorry, one more that contains tons of content: http://cageyjames.webfactional.com/output/[^]
