One resource that has helped me understanding the ITTOs is this methodology (it is really an skeleton of a methodology):

http://pmbok.metocube.com/mc/element/view-web/Project+Management+Methodology

You can navigate to the page of a process, document, etc…, try to remember all the relations it has with other elements in the pmbk and see if you were right.

Your “input_value” can definitely be waaay simpler.
Try something like this:

/*Returns 1 if n is allowed in position [a,b] of sudoku[9][9]
and 0 if not*/
int can_put_n_here(int n, int sdku[][9] ,int a, int b)
{
int i;
for(i=0; i<9; ++i){
if(sdku[a][i]==n || sdku[i][b]==n || sdku[3*(a/3)][3*(b/3)+9*(i/3)+(i % 3)]==n)
return(0);
}
return(1);
}

For a given n, a and b and for a given 9X9 matrix sdku,
it checks if n is allowed to be put in the position[a][b].
If it is, it returns 1. If it is not, it returns 0.

Edwin,
I recently (today) took the PMP exam for the 2nd time. I unfortunately did not pass. On my drive home from the testing center, I decided to immediately identify resources on the web that would prove helpful to me in passing the exam… I downloaded your study notes and took a cursory glance at them. I hope to pass on my third attempt in a few weeks. Thanks for posting your experience.

Generally speaking, 16k per month is a regular salary for PMs in China IT resource market. As I know, some IT companies only offer 12K. Of course you can find some good job in 1st class non-IT companies for 20K even above. BTW, where are you working now? HK? US? China?

HI Edwin,

I recently discovered your blog and noticed that you’re interested in programming and business.

I’m a rising junior at Stanford University and I came back to Hong Kong this summer to do my internship as well as starting an IT company that does web 2.0 products.

We have a small team right now and were wondering if you’re interested in meeting us. We are all relatively young (mostly fresh grad) but are passionate about technology and web. Let me know if you’re interested.

Thanks,
Alvin
