Yeah, a lot of us are in that boat. I have a digital books library subscription though. It's quite fantastic because you can read so much and pick and choose the best stuff.

Speaking of books, I was at a Barnes & Noble last weekend and figured I would see what new programming books they had. There must have been over 3 shelves dedicated to Python, and no C# offerings...nothing Visual Studio, and nothing VB either! Things have changed since I last bought a technical/programming book in 2011.

Right, it's demand driven. And demand for books or other help with a subject/tool doesn't equate to demand for the subject/tool itself.
I think my boss was quoting Tiobe this morning when he stated that Python is currently the most popular programming language.

Hey, have you been to my local B&N?
That's the same books they have here at ours.
We have some Java books too, but that is because we are very close to a University and as we all know Universities try to use old technology. They definitely don't want students entering the work market with current skills.

That's a good point. I bet they never thought of that. Well, they'll probably be out of business by end of year.

That truly is 'magnifique'.
I hope that gets picked up and used all over the place.

Hi, like tasks that one could consider to be really needed. One may think of things like creating webpages for charities, or helping disabled people by designing electronic aids, maybe low cost solutions with microcontrollers, ect. Or processing/collecting data with help of self written programs, with benefit for people. So I mean: not really being competition, but somehow filling a void, where some help is needed. So i would like a collection of possible activities/ careers.

Inventing jetpacks. And robot maids. They have been promised for fifty years and I still don't have one.

Sure, i could do top-down analysis of the whole field. Maybe I should narrow my broad question to maybe established activities /projects/careers that one could engage in without going out on a limb. Even simple things have to be thought out, even if I just provide a disabled person with an aid, it can make the person dependant and anxious, it can prohibit development of further natural adaption of the person to the disabilities. Maybe I would like some ideas, where there has been critical analysis already and some paths are already provided for
