"My Job Went to India"
George sends me this link about a book which so blatantly opportunistic it hurts. It's called "My Job went to India(and all I got was this lousy book.)" Well, atleast he knows the quality of his book beforehand.
The blurb is full of marketing-type gems like "It's time to take control of our careers, and in the process, learn to stay both relevant and employed.", and "You'll learn how to shift your skillset up the value chain, from offshore-ready commodity to one in high demand."
On a more serious note, this book ought to be on every Outsourcee company's library bookshelf. Any Indian manager who is dealing with American clients on a daily basis needs to know the keywords and terminology that reassures the client. And whatever techniques this guy advocates to 'keep current' can be used just as easily by Outsourcee companies too.

You are completely right. This book can definitely be used by people in outsourcing companies as well as those who are worried about (or have already) been affected by outsourcing.
What you'll find when the book is released is that its premise is to not blame the offshore software developers or the companies outsourcing to them. Its premise is that the industry has changed and that Western programmers need to look at improving themselves as opposed to looking for others to blame.
Dhanyawad!

I disagree. It all boils down to the bottom dollar, not so much to education, training nor quality as one would think.
