What discrepanceies is between Chinese programmers and the oversea programmers? I think it for days, in my viewpoint, creative ideas is scarce for us. The most Chinese programmers are studying those new technology from other countries. They most is for living on. From Win32 to Linux, from C++ to Java today.
Yeah! I agreed that there are some programmers are so power because they master the advanced techology, such as OS, Digit image technique, and so on. However, you can find out a result from those phenomena. The most technology on IT is from oversea, especially basic technology.
The root of those phenomena is economy in our country. The topic is so sensitive to politics. I am not going to study deeper. But I can tell you, if lost her or his job, the Chinese programmer usually lost the way by which get. To write codes is just a job, a bad good nowadays. To do this work you have to study the various "new" techniques day after day, at once your grain is so low, and you will lost more time to make friends with others.
