My Job Went To India Review: Chapter 1 - 8

Quick notes from the "My Job Went To India" book... So far it's a career strategy book that mixes business, common sense (business), and IT. It talks about choosing an IT career by analyzing current market trends -- US and offshore --, weighting new, mainstream, and dying technologies, specializing, generalizing, and making sure programmers understand the business domain. It explains the history of CIOs, Architects, Designers, and Programmers ... many mentions to Java and Ruby. Encourages you to explore other technologies and languages, investing in yourself ... take the time to learn and teach ... the best learning is done through teaching. See your career as a business, where there's a supply and demand, low risk yield to low gains, and high risk could yield to high gains or no gains at all. I liked the section about interviews and skill set gaming theory.
