Abstract :
Will we still suffer a major drought of software professionals after our Y2K problems are solved? The author considers how a shortage of highly skilled software people will persist and will hinder the growth of the entire industry. He lays blame for this shortage on academics and the persistent division between CS and IS departments. Is academia alone to blame, or does industry also contribute to the shortage?
