I hope someone from Goldman Sucks reads this.

In the same boat as you are. The bank that I work for is outsourcing very heavily to India and East Europe.

Adobe Kuler also has this feature.

Is it possible to attend this on a B1/B2 visa ? I have been looking for a course like this all my life. I am not particularly interested in a job offer at the end (although wouldn't mind if something interesting comes up) but I just want to attend to improve my skills.

Came in to upvote you. Offshoring is an operations failure and is not always an indicator of programmers' skills.

We work with extremely slow connections and antediluvian software/hardware tools. All managerial decisions are taken by incompetent managers whose main skills is to shepherd as many people as they can. For technical queries, we have to wait for at least a day before someone from the client side can provide an answer.

The IT team from the client side never wanted us as they see us as job stealers and highlight even the smallest of our mistakes in a Daily WTF style because it helps validate the stupid-offshore-programmer notion everyone has. This is one of the more serious issues that no one wants to talk about. The xenophobia from the client kills any chances for meaningful conversation. We are low cost workers and are treated like one.

In the last 12 years that I have worked as an offshore developer, I have had very few meetings that were at a time convenient to me. To this day, I have meetings late in the night from 10:00pm to 12:00 morning or early morning before 7:00am.

Cut us some slack guys. Not all of us are uneducated, illiterate coders who speak bad English and write worse code.

I agree. The quality of data is always going to be an issue and even the paid data has several problems. Be prepared to write a lot of code to catch these data errors.

Not wanting to be pedantic but the main logo, "Videolla" and the title "Make money on videos" appear a little jagged around the edges. I tested this in IE, Firefox and Chrome on Windows-7. To me, this gives a rather amateurish feel to the website. I am no web expert but is it not possible to make the fonts look smoother ?
