@Aki> They are all around you! I think the most impressive I've seen have been in in campus....students have great ideas. Innovation is the inspiration!!! Kenya is fast becoming a BPO for IT, there's the project KPLC had for prepaid elec bills, theres the various cellphone apps...a friend of mine is in the process of developing an app that is meant to enable students check the courses they are registered for and add on others as they wish...I tested out yesterday and apart from a few kinks its good to go!
So, yes, Kenyan developers exist who code on standards that can match and beat int'l standards!

@Eva, agreed and btw I ain't against any local coders, developers etc just that I see us lacking in many areas and the shortcuts people take, while there is so much that people can achieve.  Pls share some examples of how we are becoming a BPO for IT and then we can dissect it for further analysis.

 

Asante. :-)
