Constant Change by Rob Lee/Jared Cobb

19 10 2007

Rob Lee and Jared Cobb gave a presentation on their experiences. The focal point of the presentation was to highlight the differences between the constant attitudes and values one needs to survive in the ever changing world of IT.

Rob also pointed out good ways to make a name for yourself in the large IT world, including a path that he took–writing a technical book. For a free PDF copy of Rob’s book, The ISDN Consultant, you can click the title or look at our links. Alternately, you can find Rob’s website at www.roblee.com.
