Zachary,
There are probably just definitely less software developers
in
the
business
world today. Ones that were drawn into it by the lure of big
money
from the dot
com influx dissappeared after the dot com money dried up.
One thing I noticed then was that anybody could be a VB
contractor
with just an
IT degree and 6 months experience. Now most of those people
seem to
have gone
back to whence they came. There are definitely less
developers
about
these
days.
As for relevence, I've never been asked by a customer for
anything
about ebxml.
They deal with some big companies, many based in Germany,
Japan and
the US etc.
Sadly, imho, ebxml by itself doesn't offer anything that a
business
can really
sink it's teeth into, especially at a medium or small sized
business
level. It
advertises itself as being a carrot, it looks like a carrot,
but
it's actually
a picture card of a carrot rather than something that you can
really
sink your
teeth into and get a full stomach from.
I'd be interested in hearing about activity on ebxml from
Korea,
where I hear
only good things. If there is somebody that can describe how
ebxml
is going in
Korea then I'd certainly be interested in hearing.
