According to a report by Information Week, it is. It looks like the unemployment rate for IT professionals is 3.7%. which is close to the lowest rate reached at the end of 2001. Are things looking better for us? I think so. And altough things still look a little murky, it looks like the situation brightened quite a bit from a year or two ago. Read the whole report here. Don’t go jumping in joy, yet. The rate is so low mainly because IT professionals started leaving the field. Nonetheles, companies are starting to hire.

SOLID principles come in handy here. Especially, "Open of Extension, Closed for Modification." One of the best principles I've learned. - 6 hours agoI actually try to follow @unclebobmartin's rule all the time. Sort of. I try not to make it worse. But to make it better? Great challenge! - 6 hours agoAlways check a module in cleaner than when you checked it out (via @unclebobmartin in 97 Things Every Progr.). I love the idea! - 7 hours agoI put Code Complete #1 over Martin's book because it has "awaken" me as a programmer. But other than that, Martin's book is the best! - 1 day ago@mcory1 First of all, @unclebobmartin is my hero! Agile Software Development, Principles, Patterns, and Practices is my #2. SOLID rules! :) - 1 day ago
