Hello All,
This is not directly relevant to Linux but since there are a lot of you 
who obviously work in IT, I was wondering if you could help me with this 
question.
During a random walk on the net, I came across a company that provides 
training in C/C++ and the other programming languages and charges fees 
above £2.5K/person for them. It seems sort of strange that in todays 
world with so many books and online guides any company would be willing 
to shell out so much money for a C programming training course. What 
exactly is the target audience for such courses? The only one I can 
think of is if  a company needs to build a team of C Programmers in 
record time, but even that does not seem to convincing cnsidering how 
programmers find it easy to transition between languages and could 
probably learn the language themselves without too much of a problem.
Is there really a high enough demand that companies can charge such fees 
and get away with it? or is it more like there is very low demand so the 
fees are high just to make a profit from the trickle of customers that 
they can get?
Thanks in advance!
Ashwin
