The paper DID however say that buying American is not a good policy, which is the type of lunacy we're getting used to hearing from American CEOs.

"Eclipse Step by Step" is written by an American don't buy it.
Better just read the online docs which are written by Canadian at Toronto lab. That is more than enough to know about eclipse.

The real analogy to the H-1B, for instance, would be to bring my book in to your country and put it on sale in Indian bookstores at 1/3 the cost of any competing Indian book. Would that be fair?

as said before in other field Indian authors get published.
Letus take..
A Programmer's guide to Java Certification
Mughal Khalid A.
on Amazon: $44.99
on FirstAndSecond.com: Rs. 470 (or about $9.6) - Special edition
on prakash books: Rs.499
http://www.prakashbooks.com/
on the street less than Rs 400
There are several local republishing companies much cheaper than this online store.
see facts yourself..
Tell me.. If I want to write Java certification book for Indian publisher
I have to compete with this 'low priced' US book. The publisher prefer the low priced 'off-shore' thing than the 'on-shore' product.
Isn't the 'off-shoring' analogy same?
So, if an Indian guy says (in your voice)
- The IT publishing in India is dead because of cheap priced off-shore books.
- It is inhumane practice, I will buy only Indian author books and thereby save IT this dying industry..blah..blah
- continuing to purchase products manufactured only in India
- buy Indian, build India
Who is the looser?
- He is not going to have a good book
- He will have insufficent knowledge, ultimately he will fail in exam or career.
This is a global village.
Market drives everything, we have to adapt to it
Big boys decide where should be what and change whenever they want..
Got the point...

Is any Indian author have done shortcut technique, cheat code, or something similar like Kathy Sierra with Head First Java and so?
Instead, Indian companies or Indian subsidiares of American companies bought the rights to sell locally published copies of the book and are selling them cheaply.

As I said earlier..we gaveup writting books. Because the local publishers prefer the cheaper off-shore stuff. Our target is not book authoring but software authoring.
I guess, i do not have to show proof of creativity of Indians. Everyone of you knew it.
Well, I do not want this thread turn to be racial attacks..![]()
Just talk about IT market dynamics and how everyone us have to adjust for our mutual benefit.

We can fix it! We just need some baling wire, some WD-40, a bit of duct tape and this tiny ad:
