(those of you still in the state). Is anyone interested programming for a new job? A local company (nameless for now) needs 3-4 good PHP developers. Primarily with OOP skills, but that's not an exact requirement. We're paying between 40-70k/yr and depending on your experience, you can work from home after a 3-4 week training session. Let me know! -William -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

PHP is more like sub-scripting imo, when compared to other scripting languages. But it also does have its pros such as Mythweb. :-) Not only this, 40-70k/yr seems quite high for somebody with only PHP skills. Information pooling seems more in order here? not an expert... just my opinion since everybody else spoke-up. -- Roger http://www.eskimo.com/~roger/index.html -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

I helped write an MVC framework from the ground up when I was there. Their main product is SuperSalon: http://www.supersalon.com/ There are great opportunities for overtime - many people even work weekends. You can, in fact, work from home, as I did for a few months. Rogers Software has a pretty high turnover rate - I only worked there for a few months, and since I left they lost 2 of their lead PHP developers. I'm not sure of the current state of things, but it could be a good opportunity for someone looking for a job in a small company who doesn't mind staying for the long haul. Don't expect to have lax hours or roll into work at 11 every morning. You can and almost definitely will get called in on weekends (or at least requested to work from home on some weekends). There are most definitely very big deadlines the PHP team must meet, and if that means working 16 hours on a Sunday, you will be there. During my time there, I went on 2 trips to Minneapolis, so you may be doing that. They use Linux for the servers, and MySQL for the database backend. Unless things have changed, the MVC framework the new version of SuperSalon is built to replicate a lot of what Ruby on Rails does. I would recommend trying at least one MVC framework out before applying (See CakePHP, Rails, TurboGears, etc.) Let me know if you have any other unbiased questions - I left on good terms, and have no personal vendettas against anyone there including the boss. - Erik On Mon, Jun 9, 2008 at 6:14 PM, William Attwood wrote: > PHP5 has OOP (well, as much OOP as can be the very minimum to be OOP). > We're seeking PHP developers with OOP experience.
