How can we, as developers, continue to stay on top of our profession? Programmers are going to have to move up the value chain, and move up fast, if they are to keep their jobs in the coming years. The recession isn't helping, as its effects are masking significant underlying trends in the world of programming. Join Andrew Hunt for a frank discussion entitled, "How to Keep Your Job."
