Debugging Indian Computer Programmers
The backlash against outsourcing American jobs to countries like India had transformed into an anti-immigrant and anti-Indian atmosphere lately. While looking at outsourcing and high-tech visa programs from a completely different angle --and giving an enjoyable account of Indian programmers -- this book answers, in an extremely balanced way, the following complicated questions that have been raised by many American programmers, talkshow hosts, news anchors like Lou Dobbs of CNN, and even by some politicians. If outsourcing is inevitable, whats next for Americans? Did America really benefit from immigrant programmers? Was there never a need to bring immigrant programmers to the U.S.? Are Indian immigrant programmers nothing but corporate lapdogs? Are Indian programmers dumb as rocks and incapable of thinking outside of the box? Did Indian immigrant programmers support the September 11th attacks? Did Americans invent everything that belongs to the computer industry? Is the Indian education system far below world standards? Is there an organized Indian mafia in American universities that hires only Indian cronies?
India Express
India Express Is A Fast-Paced Analysis Of India&Rsquo;S Potential Role As &Lsquo;Asia&Rsquo;S America&Rsquo;. Daniel Lak Has Covered The Region For Two Decades And Draws On His Detailed Knowledge Of The Country&Rsquo;S Lesser-Known Byways To Bring Together A Complex Canvas Of Interviews, Anecdotes, Statistics And History. From The Ghats Of Varanasi To The Campus Of Iit Kharagpur To A Polling Booth In Rural Bihar, Lak Argues That India&Rsquo;S Plural Democracy, Its Rule Of Law, Entrepreneurial Talent And Military Might Are Together Fashioning A Country That Is Globally Respected And Increasingly Influential. What Marks This Book Out From The Many Voices Proclaiming India&Rsquo;S Nascent Superpower Status Is Lak&Rsquo;S Clear-Sighted Grasp Of The Agents And Forces Of Change In The Country Today. Acknowledging India&Rsquo;S Uninterrupted Engagement With Democracy As Unique In The Region, The Author Points Out That The Growing Political Heft Of The Urban Middle Classes, Linked To A Historic Strengthening Of Liberal Institutions In The Country, Is Part Of A Process Whereby Key Blocs Of Voters Exchange Their Political Support For Government Patronage. Coalition Governments&Mdash;A Widely Accepted Sign Of Democratic Maturity&Mdash;Are Both A Testament To Indian Political Pragmatism And A De-Facto Devolution Of Central Authority In A Country That Has Struggled For Most Of Its Independent Existence With An Imbalance Of Power Among Centre, States And Communities.
Geek Sublime
The nonfiction debut from the author of the international bestseller Sacred Games about the surprising overlap between writing and computer coding Vikram Chandra has been a computer programmer for almost as long as he has been a novelist. In this extraordinary new book, his first work of nonfiction, he searches for the connections between the worlds of art and technology. Coders are obsessed with elegance and style, just as writers are, but do the words mean the same thing to both? Can we ascribe beauty to the craft of writing code? Exploring such varied topics as logic gates and literary modernism, the machismo of tech geeks, the omnipresence of an "Indian Mafia" in Silicon Valley, and the writings of the eleventh-century Kashmiri thinker Abhinavagupta, Geek Sublime is both an idiosyncratic history of coding and a fascinating meditation on the writer's art. Part literary essay, part technology story, and part memoir, it is an engrossing, original, and heady book of sweeping ideas.
