I've outsourced a lot of programming work to various countries such as India, Philippines, UK, Croatia, Romania and to be honest the best coders I found were in China.

I've been recently been using a team of 2 guys who write beautiful Python code and also know Objective-C back to front, plus they have access to pretty much every generation of iOS device to top it off. The best thing though is they are charging less then $10 per hour, speak perfect English and are extremely reliable.

Though finding a good programmer to outsource to is still a bit of a mission.
