From my inbox
by Volker Weber
Somebody looking for work:
So far, I completed fifteen Notes mail to Exchange/Office 365. Eight using Binary Tree's CMTe and seven using the Quest/Dell's Migrator for Notes to Exchange.
That is quite impressive. However, if I may dispense a piece of advice: that works is eventually going away. Build new skills. MEAN?
Comments
From an Administrators pov the MEAN stack does not look very compelling (but that's just me). Totally different if you are a developer of course.
Henning is correct, you are suggesting that an administrator move into the development world. They won't like it and probably don't have the skills to have a smooth transition. I would suggest they look at both virtualization and containerization as paths forward.
I second this. As sysadmin with some odd developer experience I see a lot of requests for talented people with strong Azure or AWS skills in combination with a DevOps mindset and a passion for continuous delivery solutions on production level in the wild.
But if this person want to follow the developer path - especially with Javascript - I suggest reading this book mentioned here: https://twitter.com/thepracticaldev/status/715623065078644738
Of course as IBMer I would recommend, don't be mean, but CLEAN.
