Hi Dw,
Great response. I like hearing both sides of the discussion and you had some great points. I agree if you only learn one side of programming and that is ladder logic, C, or any other platform you will feel like a deer in the headlights if asked to move in a direction where you have to hurry up and learn something new. Most of the companies where I have provided my services, I included the software and any custom scripts I wrote. They can always reach me by phone or email and ask questions. I started with a Commodore 64 back in the day and was on the Arpanet to share a little of my background. In other words an old fart. My favorite new sensor is the time of flight board.
