Here's a quite surprising ad by Microsoft:
"So, you think Java is a pretty awesome way to write portable code,
do you? We do too. Microsoft is looking for a Java evangelist -
someone to tell the world all about the cool Java work that we are
doing, and how to take advantage of it. The person we're looking
for is technical, articulate, and excited about Java. A Java
evangelist explains the benefits of Java to developers, marketers,
and company presidents, so s/he needs to be comfortable explaining
technology to technical and non-technical people alike. The Java
evangelist also champions the Java developer within Microsoft -
making sure that systems and tools include the features that
developers need, so s/he must understand development issues and be
able to make a compelling argument. The Java evangelist can be
based in either the SF Bay Area or Redmond, WA. Of course, Java
development experience is a must, and knowing a bit about COM
wouldn't hurt either.
