Career Redux

Comments[0] by Dave in General
The September 2002 issue of the Communications of the ACM has a very interesting article on career development by Peter J. Denning. Denning covers the ladder of competence and the different ways that people at these different levels work and the ways that they learn. He bases this in part on Hubert Dreyfus's AI writings from the 1960s and 1970s. Great stuff. Denning also has some insightful things to say about what he calls the self-directed and community-directed styles of career development. Well worth a read.
