Something that has piqued my interest in the last year are trends for technology professionals overseas, especially Asia. I’m not an expert on the subject, but I believe it’s important to have an understanding of where the worlds employment markets are…

As developers, if you’re building services your customers can share, you need to plan on announcement integration.
