最近编程比赛提供铺平世界的例子
公爵不是唯一的美国。 是学校skunked在有名望的计算的比赛。 主队，仅麻省理工学院在12台最高的修整机之中排列了。 多数顶面斑点由队占领从东欧和亚洲。 直到90年代后期，美国。 队控制了这些比赛。 But the tide has turned. 去年没有你在名列前茅十二。
唤醒的电话
很糟的表现应该起一个唤醒的电话作用对于政府、产业和教育家。 甚而，当那东欧和亚洲学校上升时，美国电脑科学节目产品笔直落下。 中国和印度，新的全球性技术大力士，由所有类型的900,000个工程的毕业生每年刺激，更比使美国成三倍的数量。 毕业。 电脑科学工程学的一个关键子集。 “如果我们的天分基地减弱，我们的主角在技术、事务和经济方面比其中任一我们能想象”，快速地将退色警告理查佛罗里达、教授在乔治泥工大学和作者 The Flight of the Creative Class.Software programmers are the seed corn of the Information Economy, yet America isn’t producing enough. The Labor Dept. forecasts that “computer/math scientist” jobs, which include programming, will increase by 40%, from 2.5 million in 2002 to 3.5 million in 2012. Colleges aren’t keeping up with demand. A 2005 survey of freshmen showed that just 1.1% planned to major in computer science, down from 3.7% in 2000.
This really isn’t news is it? I mean, we all see this coming, right? We all clearly see the pros and cons in the leveling of the playing field. We know anyone can access global software programming talent at sites like oDesk, RentACoder, Elance, etc. (For more complete list, see list of Outsource Marketplace Providers on this site).
Have you read the “The World is Flat” yet? (Amazon.ca, Amazon.co.uk) I know some people think this book is a bit far fetched; I’d love to hear some kind of rebuttal to the points presented in the book.
