Hi Nadim, Sandeep,

I read a blog article about the real status of web developer
skills. David Dias mentioned that he did interviews of people from
'Mauritian Universities where they are taught the "web developement"'
and commented that "the level of knowledge of Front-End development
reflects that of 5-10 years before". Mr Dias used to say the
following in the interviews: "It seems it exists a Mauritian world
wide web and a world wide web..." He also commented about having
"the capacity to be aware about all changes that appear in our
virtual and real world". There was an interesting comment at the end
of the article: "money is not what is needed in this case. We need
motivated people with fresh ideas ..."

I have interviewed some developers in Mauritius. Some of them are
good at what they do; for some of them I would say that there is room
for improvement. I am not sure whether the issue is with "Mauritius
Universities" as I have come across similar cases where the persons
studied at other universities. I have talked to some local
university students; a few of them seem motivated. Some of the
technologies the university students talk about are technologies
which I heard about many years ago.

Regards,
S. Moonesamy
