Despite some improvements in its education system, Germany has fallen behind other western nations, a new report by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) said. According to the OECD, 40-plus percent of young people in countries such as Denmark, Australia, Italy, the Netherlands and Poland complete university courses. The organization noted, however, that graduation rates tended to be "highest in countries where programs are of short duration.""By contrast, in Germany and Austria, where programs are longer, only 20 percent of young people get degrees," the OECD noted.

Every developer (PHP or not) out there has sat back in their favorite chair and thought about what else is out there. Well, Cal Evans is no different and he shares a tool he was linked to (by Terry Chay) that could help you find that "what's next" in your career.   I love Nashville, TN. Well, ok, I really like it. It's a great town but I'm getting a bit restless. The problem I face is that I never know what the environment for programmers will be in a given city before moving there. So when Terry Chay briefly mentioned indeed.com's salary search tool, it sparked my interest. If I, a PHP programmer, wanted to move to another city in the US, how would I fare salary wise? Since I don't want to list every city in the US, I've selected CNN/Money's Best Places to Live in America as my list of cities to compare.   Looking specifically for PHP-related jobs, he made the query, found the cities, ranked them and listed the average salary for the area. He also grabbed the cost of living for each location based on the closest large city and matched them up.   The result?   So it's agreed then, we'll all meet in Columbia, MD.   Check out the post and the lovely graph Cal has put together for more cities and their stats.

SAN FRANCISCO - Jeff Stewart directs an educational technology program at Macon State College in Georgia. But even he was quickly overwhelmed while TV shopping last month. The sets at his local Sam's Club all looked nice, but each touted a different alphabet soup of new features, from HDTV to LCD. Stewart didn't want to make a mistake. He left without buying anything.

On the TechToolBlog, there's an interesting little post where Tim Boland has taken three of the major web programming languages - PHP, ASP.NET and Ruby - and compared the number of job listings for each in three different places and on three different sites.   Here is a 30 minute research into the jobs out there for RoR compared to Asp.Net & PHP. I searched for the phrases "Ruby on Rails", "PHP", "ASP.NET" and radius of 100 miles from the zip code. There is no doubt some overlap of job posting but this is pretty clear indication of where things are.   The three locations he picked were Cincinnati Ohio (his hometown), New York City and San Francisco and the three sites were Monster.com, Career Builder and Hot Jobs. Overall, the postings varied from place to place - ASP.NET cam out on top in Ohio, ASP.NET in New York and PHP over in San Francisco.
