This presentation looks back at the history of programming and computing. We’ll examine the skill sets that programmers
required in the past, examine the skills of those programmers entering the market, and what is required of today's
programmers to compete in the future. If you don't invest in yourself, your skills don’t remain dynamic, they actually
slowly deteriorate compared to the market. We will take a light hearted look at what we need to do with our careers to
compete and excel in today’s market.
