Or do they, where is Renton anyway?

Oh ye gods. As someone who has taken over projects from others in the past, I have to say that my goodwill goes out to whomever gets the job. Absorbing a project from even a good consulting agency can be daunting. Here's to hoping that documentation was in the specs for the project! I've taken over projects where there was no required documentation and no required training on the new system... here's the code, a database, and some other miscellaneous things! Good luck! Oh, and here's the list of things the customer wants added this week. *shudder* Never again.

You can put Renton, Seattle, and Redmond all together for most purposes.

I thought that might be the case.
Yep, it's HR cluelessness like this that makes the job market for IT such a three ringed circus.
It also fails to recognise that OO programming is not a software-specific skill beyond familiarising yourself a bit with the libraries, making it a bit like advertising for "10 years experience driving Fords".
Man, I'm glad I'm out of IT.

At this point, I think anything WOTC does will be viewed in the most negative light possible by some folks.
It is a good thing that they want to bring this in-house. It is a good thing that they are looking to build more of the in-house now, before the outsourced project is done. It is a good thing they want people familiar with D&D for their in-house project.

Nope. I'd actually consider moving out to Seattle to get to work on gaming-related stuff, but not at a pay cut -- I actually really enjoy my current job. In fact, I'd consider doing something I liked significantly less for a pay boost. Four kids make a lot of mouths to feed and we've outgrown the house we bought when we were married.

Unless they count C# as Java. ;-)
The languages are growing apart, but they're still *really* similar. Heck, when I write C# I pretty much write Java, and I don't get many compilation errors.

Well, to some extent. I mean, there's sort of the standard-issue modern OO language style, ala Java or C# or VB.NET. And any .NET language has the same libraries. But it's not like a typical business developer guy who's spent five years working in ASP.NET in C# can sit down and be productive in Smalltalk anytime soon.
