The lack of readily-available devs skilled in web services design and production continues to impede web services projects, according to the latest survey from Evans Data Corp.
Evans' Spring 2005 Web Services/SOA Development Survey found 1-in-5 IT managers said they can't find enough web services-savvy talent. Particularly acute, Evans found, is the shortage of skilled professionals "who understand the various specifications and the way to build the interfaces."
Evans also noted that respondents look at web services skills is a world apart from traditional Java/J2EE or .NET dev expertise.
