Not sure I get the logic behind the line: <i>With the economic slow down, countries with emerging technology sectors and talented, well educated developers will be getting a second look as a means of cutting applicationd(sic) development costs.</i><p>Surely with the economic slowdown developers in "un-emerging" economies will be more competitive?
