You got offered a job.

The salary was a fixed $80,000 with acceptance of increased salary as you progress. You get free health care, dental plan and pre paid holidays from this company each year. However the catch is the company your working for is one of the biggest porn sites on the internet. Would you decline the offer just because their a porn company or would you consider the offer?

I wouldn’t turn it down just because it was porn. I would turn it down if I was uncomfortable doing that kind of work or if it would not further my career. What if, in the future, you applied for your dream job at a wonderful company but they didn’t hire you because of the porn thing?

I don’t think massive websites are made by coding each and every line on notepad or any text editor. If that is the case then web designing is the most difficult task ever. So what di these people use? Dreamweaver, or any other tool like that???

Coding can take a long time so we usually use Dreamweaver, Front Page, or even visual Web Developer

so if any can recommend companies please help me out.

thanks and hope to see good response

I do respect your choice of country but if i were to be asked, a large number of efficient and highly trained web developers are found in the Philippines. Besides, Philippines is now one of the best outsourcing country. Try this link to give you a view.

I’m doing a research report on the career Web Development for Uni.
On of the things I have to write about is why society needs Web Developers.
My brain currently isn’t working and all I’ve written is "They make web pages and everyone uses web pages". Which is pretty pathetic.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

You could mention how important the internet is to society at the moment, all the traditional forms of news/information sharing are dwarfed in comparison to the enormity of the internet. If the internet was to be switch off tomorrow there would be very few people on the planet not effected. Web developers are the life blood of the internet, without them the internet would be hella boring. They make what could be immensley complex easily digestible and understandable so you don’t need a degree in computer science to participate.

How should I do it also? Should I make somewhat of what I want it to look like on a another program, and should I also describe it in writing? If any of you have ever had another business create a website for you, what did they need from you?

Well if you go to http://WebStartsPro.com they can help you find what kind of website you want and they will build it, it is easy.

I’m averaging about 8k/month since the past 3 months. How bout the rest of you?
Lukasz L. – actually I spend about 8 hours day no more, sometimes less. Sound normal.

I’d rather earn less and spend more time with my family and friends.

How about you? I guess your’e not moving away from your desk

I am creating a website Frontpage and i cant figure out how to do something. I want to create something so when a user places the cursor over an advertisment for example it will expand revealing more details but when the cursor is taken off the advertisment it will shrink back to its orginal size. How would i go about doing this?

you need to do a couple things to do this (mostly because IE and others don’t follow the same rules, IE ignores most of the standards).

The best way to do it would be to use AJAX, there are many impimentations that hide these differences. I am currently using Dojo (http://www.dojotoolkit.org/ ) but yahoo also has an implimentation (among others).

The actual way to do this depends on how that extra information is aquired. If you just want to use two images with more info in the second, you just need to use a roll over –
<a href="link.html"><img src="img1.jpg" onmouseover=" this.src = ‘img2.jpg’;" onmouseout=" this.src = ‘img2.jpg’;" /> </a>

IE 6 has always been a nightmare to code sites for, and now we’re debating whether we should even bother to make sites look optimal in IE 6 anymore or just tell our users "this site looks best in IE 7 and up." Are you still trying to make sites look optimal in IE 6?

It depends on your visitor base and your level of professional commitment to your clients.

Different sites currently report as little as 11% of visitors browsing with IE6 and as high a 29% (down from 38% a little over a year ago…it is getting better). Current average is probably in the 20% neighborhood. My shop doesn’t bother to pretend to know enough about the potential visitor profile for our clients to be willing to offend even 11% of visitors. On our own sites, we encourage all IE users to come over from the dark side, but we support IE6 and will continue to do so until it drops below the 1% mark. Our customers pay us to make them look good in all browsers (heck! we had one customer earlier this year whose default browser shop-wide WAS IE6 – as long as their checks don’t bounce, I’ll develop for them).

We take the approach of doing all initial development rounds for Firefox and then adding alternate stylesheets for IE (fixes the stuff that works the same in all IEs), an IE7 stylesheet (that fixes the common failings of everything older than IE8), and finally an IE6 version that repairs the leftover style silliness peculiar to IE6. JavaScript is a little simpler in some ways, but we do make it all work the same. Very rarely, we’ve had to tweak for Safari or Opera…never had to be different for Chrome – yet.

Doesn’t matter how I feel about it…we serve our clients by making sure they are properly visible and attractive to everyone without regard to foolish browser choices. Admittedly, we neglect about 5% of the entire browsing universe – all the very rare browsers that consistently show up individually under the 1% mark, e.g., Linux Konqueror (I say that, typing from my Kubuntu laptop but surfing on Firefox).

Always had an interest in web development and have a basic understanding of xhtml, css & java. I have also done a few college courses in digital imaging and manipulation using indesign, quark,photoshop, illustrator, dreamweaver but i would like a certificate to say i am competent in web development. Any idea’s? I’m trying to look from an employers point of view on what certification they would be looking for. Thanks

While there are certifications in every field imaginable from photoshop to programming, they are most popular and generally most desired in network administration. For web development employers don’t really look for certifications they are looking for particular skill sets. If you look up job offers for web development you will NEVER see any kind of certification as a requirement, instead you’ll just see x years of experience in XHTML/CSS, PHP, Javascript,etc. It’s mostly just the IT guys who NEED their CCNA’s, MCSE’s or Linux+’s

This is not to say don’t take a web course, I’m sure some certification programs will teach you a lot, but professionally speaking, it isn’t really something sought after.
