Basically another fancy way of saying folks who come with experience (non-freshers). <br /><br />Reading books, online stuff and articles is a way of life for us. That's how we learn from the masters. Thats how we can become masters. Don't worry, once you get the hang of things -- you will not only be reading, but also writing on stuff. <br /><br />And please don't call me Sir. No one calls anyone Sir in ThoughtWorks. Call me Gurpreet :) And ping me when you join ThoughtWorks if you need any help or guidance or just someone to talk to. I'll be glad.
