Computer Science in Perspective
Thoughts from a PhD alumnus examining the motives and opportunities for
computer scientists and information systems professionals in 2003

ABSTRACT
As the computer industry continues to suffer from the hangover of the "dot
bomb era", corporate IT spending falls off dramatically and news stories
about technology jobs moving overseas are common, how should computing
professionals view their work and their work environment? This talk will
examine the subjective perspective of one person and the lessons he learned
from fashionable but unsuccessful projects to unfashionable but very
successful projects. It will review some of the important buzzwords driving
technology development today and present some of the non-technical skills
required of successful technologists.
