22. Modern scripting languageLearn and use a modern scripting language. It can be Ruby, Python, Groovy or TheNextBigShot coming along, it doesn’t really matter.

23. Software as a service (SaaS)What does SaaS mean? It means, to put it very simply, software available for use online. There is no need to download it. Just signup on the internet and use it. It is similar to using yahoo/gmail; both are email programs running online and one just has to signup to them and start sending/receiving emails. www.softheme.com Outsourcing to Softheme™ Softheme: Software Outsourcing Practices
