Entry level PHP developer needed

[radass]

Hi

A friend of mine is looking for an entry level php developer, for a full time position in ballarat. Don't necessarily need a degree but you need to have real skills and ability to pick up new things without a babysitter. Also extrememly important is the right attitude - someone who is easy going and who can accept direction without having a debate ...

Anyone who thinks i should vouch for them, please PM or IM me and i'll have a chat to you .. it's a good oppurtunity to find a decent start in the dev industry without having to leave ballarat.

Cheers,
Dave

I found someone that'll fit the job perectly!

I told him that he'll have to "accept direction without having a debate"
and he said, jezusss cryessst.

Nah, it's a good place to work - i'd work there. (and i'm picky!)

can't believed he hasn't already put himself foward and deleted the thread to remove competition.

Plus, I haven't been on these forums for one whole day. Go me.

I wish I wasn't a PHP noob. I've only just started learning it.

Nah It's an entry level position, but that doesn't mean they're after someone who's just begun to learn a bit of scripting; you have to be good enough to actually deserve to get paid for your time :D Ideally a recent uni graduate (or maybe tafe; i have no idea whether their coding course is worthwhile) who wants to make a serious career in development, and would like to work in Ballarat.

It's a programming position, as apposed to a 'website person who knows some php', but of course knowledge in html, cs and javascript would be highly useful.

Thats me down to a T! Except Im still @ school doing year 11 & so can't have a full time job, DAMN IT! :gs
I've developed (by myself) several database driven web applications including: A basic Content Management System (used at http://www.dcebt.com), A User Authentication & Management System (http://www.dcebt.com/login.ebt), A basic News Article System & a huge ass MotherF##ker "Client Management System" for http://www.mcpaa.com which is designed for the webhosting business (Clients get attached to the servers they are renting, Servers are placed into different datacenters so automatic reboot requests get sent to the right place) which allows the clients to view & update their details & supports different user levels (Client, Technician, Admin) for access control.

I'll be the first to admit that these Applications are not the flashiest User friendly things around & that some may argue that they all essentially do the same thing (View, Edit, Delete records from a Database) which is basically true. But I think I have done alright considering I have taught myself PHP & am only 16.

I might post some screen dumps later.

Screendumps of the source would probably get you further. Don't forget to blank out sensitive material like passwords.

I doubt looking up php.net for what function I want to do is worth their money ;)

Sounds like you're on the right track though mate.

Well, extensive knowledge of the language itself isn't that important, (i constantly look up the docs on stuff no matter what language i'm using) - but a higher understanding of what programming actually is, is highly important. This sort of understanding is generally formed by a combination of training and experience.

I can imagine veteran programmers looking up function lists and stuff, but my scripts usually need a whole lot of fixing before they'll work at the moment. I've gotten a lot better, but hardly at the stage where someone would pay me to code for them (unlike smitty).
