Dave Malouf’s Class Selling Like Hotcakes

We just announced Dave Malouf’s class Interaction Design for Rich Internet Applications (RIAs) this week and immediately 11 of the 18 seats were snapped up.

Where to Go Online to Find a Job

A question I hear a lot, especially from managers, is just where to find talent these days. The real straight dope is that you should already be fairly well connected in your field and have a wishlist of people you want to hire.
