Even if the Labour Office did not confirm this trend for the entire IT sector in its January 2013 analysis, it holds true for the software development sector.
How can companies cover their own needs until the measures taken, like internal training programmes for instance, become effective?
In this general context of ever-increasing cost pressure, outsourcing development activities to Romania, also known as “nearshoring”, is a highly attractive solution.
For Germans, Romania still is a mostly unknown country. This is no longer the case in France, for instance, due to the similarities between the two languages. This

Welcome to the IT offshore press review. I think we should start with this question: do we really need new programming languages? Have you heard of Dart, Ceylon, Go, #F, Opa, Fantom or Zimbu?

Scrum requires a different mindset
