You may want to learn this...

At Vestigo, we like to chat with our candidates and experts about new and interesting emerging technologies that are currently being used at their work places. Many times these technologies allow an individual to create niche specializations by becoming the hard to find expert in the area. Although these unique technologies may not always be in extremely high demand, those experts who have chosen to specialize in them soon find themselves facing interesting professional opportunities that provide great intellectual satisfaction as well as significant financial returns.

Over the years, many Vestigo experts have encountered these emerging technologies and have embraced them, really focusing their efforts to fully understand and utilize them. This concentrated interest and effort has provided these experts with very positive results, catupulting them into high demand consulting roles that are rewarding not only from a technology aspect as well as providing great financial benefits as well.

We asked some of our experts to share with us what is a current interesting and market relevant technology that can allow our candidates an opportunity to propel to higher consulting rates.

In this post, we will discuss the response from one of our experts: "You may want to learn Tibco, not many people are experts in it..."

After a bit of research, we discovered that Tibco is a company based out of Palo Alto, California that produces tools for Enterprises to achieve service-oriented architectures and business process management.

We asked this expert his advice regarding what steps would he recommend a person interested in this technology take in order to get started in the "Tibco world" and his response is as follows:

"Get certified! Tibco offers inexpensive certifications that will allow you to take your first steps towards becoming an expert in the technologies. I recommend that you begin with the SOA Tools, Tibco BusinessWorks and even Tibco Adaptors".

Vestigo Staffing will be sharing our conversations with other experts who have also found interesting technologies that have propelled them or their co-workers into very satisfying roles and excellent consulting rates.

Stay tuned!

Our Story - Vestigo Staffing

Our company was founded by professionals with more than 20 years of experience in the software and web development fields. The idea behind our operation came from the constant need expressed by our clients where they were working on specific projects and they needed to add people fast but most importantly they needed people who knew what they were doing.

There are a variety of factors that have an effect on the success of a project but one of the most important drivers in a project are the quality of its people. As time went by, we found ourselves facilitating our skills for other activities that veered away from development but that we had a passion for. Finding people.

We were able to come up with different techniques to interview and screen candidates and based on our experience we identify key skills and the skill level of candidates required for different types of projects.

Based on these evaluations we were able to provide our customers with quality professionals that possessed not only the right skills but that also were a good fit for the company environment and the level of work.

The result was that our clients were happy and productive and our candidates were using their skills, learning new skills and worked in an environment that fit. And just like this, we started making connections and decided to make it our new venture.

We are committed to quality and personalized service; we believe in providing people and companies with opportunities that help them grow and we are here to make connections and lasting relationships. We believe that your success either as a candidate or as a company is our success as well and we want to provide you with the tools to help achieve your goals.

ASP MVC

Out of many .Net Technologies, ASP MVC has seen an increase of demand over the last few years. Many of our clients have included this technology as part of their architectural reference for front end development.

Microsoft continues to improve the ASP MVC platform by simplifying server side syntax(razor), improving javascript support, adding powerful validation, among the already popular "clean HTML" and "URL re-writing" features.

In his blog, Scott Gu, gives us a great summary of these new features. He also presents us with other new products from the .Net family which may also become key skills for future consultants in the .Net world:

Announcing release of ASP.NET MVC 3, IIS Express, SQL CE 4, Web Farm Framework, Orchard, WebMatrix

For additional training, we suggest you review the ASP.Net page where you can find excellent resources.
