Viva. In our profession there's always something new to learn. I'm usually so busy with commercial projects that I've got a perpetual backlog of personal projects and new technologies to get to grips with.

Then why don't you give Viva a couple of your personal projects? It will give him something to do and speed you up to date...it would be win win for both of you... applause

I never expect of others what I expect of myself.

I thought that during a recession, more work gets outsourced to India?

You market yourself with the amazing things that you showcase on your website. You maintain a blog, twitter, and get a profile on linkedIn - the usual stuff.

It sounds like you have the time to learn new skills and embark on a personal (unpaid) project to hone your skills and attract attention to what you can do.

Exactly what you get involved in depends on your transferrable skills and your aptitude and interests. I'd favour Rich Internet Applications or Mobile Applications - because those are the arenas I operate in. In your position, I'd consider learning one of the following:- Flex, Flash for mobile, Silverlight, or Apple Objective C for the iPhone. But someone else might give you alternative leads of potentially in-demand skills.

Wether LinkedIn nor Xing nor any of these WebProfile site helps anyone here to get a work. Its used by MLM (multi level market and similar sh***) guys in most cases that want to contact a lot of their prey. Don´t think that any company will contact you and say "hey guy - you have good knowledge about ... we need you!"

If your young you may start with some new technology things. you may draw some websites or play around with Flash Java etc for a few bucks ...
Be aware!!, when you get older you may not can keep up in technology with the next generation and then youre dated out. Also some students will do SW devleopement ans similar for less money .... how to compete that?

And yes, its correct. Not only now at recession all stuff was outsourced to the "cheap" countries like china or india. They started at the mid 90th to move...
We here suffer from this a lot, because for same loan as you get in india you will starve here within a week...

IMHO since youre young the best is to learn how to do bussines!
learn about the tax system,
try to get into mangement as soon as possible and similar...
try to make good contacts to politicans and important people
thats the real networking idea ....

It happens to me all the time.

viva007 is an I.T. professional with a masters degree. So, I assumed that he already had a good grounding in OOP (C++/Java), Design Patterns, Software design methodologies, unit testing etc.

You expect him to go back to kindergarten?

BlueDevil: Be aware!!, when you get older you may not can keep up in technology with the next generation and then youre dated out.


Accomplished senior software developers are worth their weight in gold. It's not so hard to reinvent yourself given enough experience and transferrable expertise.

A couple of years ago I was a university lecturer. There were a few bright sparks, but I was surprised and disappointed that most of my students had neither the aptitude nor dedication to contribute anything useful. Perhaps they'll improve with experience and maturity.

BlueDevil: ...how to compete that?


These are old-fashioned and out-dated ideas.... Hard work, dedication, passion and commitment.

BlueDevil: try to make good contacts to politicans and important people thats the real networking idea ....?


The brown-nosed approach can be effective too. When I worked within a large organisation, I noticed that people could be neatly categorised into two camps. Talented geeks, like myself. And political players. A big company is an artificial arena. A kind of game. I've seen people ascend the ladder of success with nothing more than hot air and excrement.

@viva007 It all boils down to what motivates you.
