Technical foundations for developers & architects
Posted by Optaros on 19 May 2009
I have often been asked what is looked for in technical candidates and what skills people need to develop in order to progress in a technical career path. Typically long lists of technology, languages and certificates on a CV/resume don’t do much for me. If the list is long it is likely that the candidate | View post »
