Really good article on User Experience, starting from the initial hiring process.

In the era of the highly misused and rather vague term Web 2.0, being a UX engineer (also – expert, guru, developer or whatsoever) has become a quite fashionable occupation.

Unfortunately, neither most of the employers, nor the future UX guru employees do not even have the slightest notion of what stands behind the two letter abbreviation, which soon leads to persisting conflicts between UX guys and developers.

Generation Blend: Managing Across the Technology Age Gap takes an interesting look at generational aspects.  According to Amazon:

Generation Blend explores how generational attitudes toward technology affect issues as diverse as recruitment and retention, employee training, management decision-making, collab-oration, knowledge sharing, work/life balance, and ordinary workday activities.

Overall I thought the book wasn’t bad despite the fact that I hate the entire concept of “generational generalizations”.  I think if you take co-workers and potential employees as individuals rather than as categorically this or that, you’d see a different workplace dynamic.  That said, the book is probably a good resource for HR representatives and sourcing companies.
