  > he also learned java programming apparently "Learn Java in Six Days". That sounds like "I lost 10Kg in two weeks". Sure, you can learn the basics of Java in six days, I suppose; but you certainly never needed to go to India to do it. I was thrown in the deep end with Java; from a standing start, I had to create production software in two months. I delivered, but the code I wrote was shit. And I had no training at all; there was no time. I learned using online resources. [Edit] In the 90s most spam and hacking seemed to come from relatively poor countries, like USSR, India, Africa and China. I assumed it was because with a PC, a modem and a phone connection, you could make a lot more than the average salary. Then outsourcing came along, Indian developers started eating my breakfast, and pay for UK developers nosedived.
