I am looking for a web developer to help us on a project basis. Someone who can use c# and has some familiarity with asp.net. net. Where’s a good place to find this time of person? (Eg magazines, forums, website, etc)

to get a quote you could goto www.noagenciesplease.com

we’ve used rentacoder.com twice, for DNN .NET projects which we don’t do in house, but the standard/support has been terrible, I would not recommend.

We no use a guy for any projects like that which come up, lee.martin@hamiltondesignit co uk , who is really good and economically priced.

hope this helps

Any companies that you recommend? Any that you suggest staying away from? Any insight is appreciated

The market seems good… a lot of craigslist postings, easy for me to find work.

There’s a few I’d stay away from, any basement operations for example. If you can’t see daylight, they’re doing something wrong, you may as well work for yourself.

IE6 is a massive pain in the backside to develop for. What is the general concencus for a good time to stop developing for it?

We just stopped supporting IE5.

General concensus in the market is 2 major version coverage for each mainstream browser.

Yeah, it’s a pain to make everything multi/backwards-browser compat… These are one of the lines that draws out the rookies from the professionals.

Start considering IE6 out of date when IE8 is out.

——-

Remember, when developing… your preference doesn’t mean a damn thing… it’s getting the message/marketing/branding that the website is intended for out to the masses… regardless of browser.

not necessarily free, but reasonable for someone with an anti-war non-profit site as a passion, not a full time job.

Basically I have a interview in which I want to take a physical portfolio. This worked well showcasing my Front-end abilities. However, I wanted tips on how I can show my work in action, code, should I describe how code works, and if I should, how should I do it.

When I’m looking for employees I always look for the small things, like organised code, tabbed in the correct places, so that at a glance you can see what goes with what e.g.

<div id="test">
<!– Test content here –>
<!– End of Test content –>
</div>

Also I look for people who comment their code, so no-one has to look through all the code to find out what it does.

If you are going to an interview, I wouldn’t suggest talking about how code works, as they will know and this will sound patronising to them.

Most people aren’t looking for people who can code, there are thousands, what they are usually looking for is someone who has flare, creativity and can think for themselves, but also work in a team.

I’m a web developer looking to make contact with other e-learning developers – to share ideas and generally just to find out what other web developers are up to!
Hi Kal
Thanks for your answer – I’m not sure where/how to reply! As part of a masters degree I am studying for, I am learning a lot more about:

- PHP 5 – specifically Object Oriented Design, Design Patterns and best practices.
- Interaction Design, User Experience
- Learning Objects – reuse of/sharing of/metadata etc etc.

I work predominantly with non-technical people, and the more I learn the more I really need to make contact with other web developers with experience of any of the above, not so I can ask for help, but just to make contact with people who ‘speak my language’!

If you (or anyone else who reads this would like to keep in touch, my profile says that I am not contactable, but I’ll amend that so you can see my email address.

go to www.webdesigning.com to see more people

I plan to use a photoshop designed animation on with my website rotating photos of my best selling products. The question is if I have alt text for each image will the search engines read each alt text on all the pictures in the animation (about 6 images) or does the animation count as one image and only one alt text is read. Trying to increase my keyword count for ranking.

Only one is counted since it is an animated images.

If you want SE index both 6 images, separate theme then you javascript to animate those images

Hope this help

For a website that will have about 4-5 pages, some graphics, nothing fancy, just pretty basic.

That depends on what your website will be and what you want it to look like… Flash costs more than simple HTML, how many pages, what type of ‘functions’ do you want. All of this has to be taken into consideration. Also, will you want ongoing support for updates and bugs? This will cost as well, either a flat monthly or hourly rate. It will also depend on whether you ask an individual to do it on their own or if you contact a large company to assist. More details please!

I am a web dev and I am also interesting in creating an online entrepreneurial venture. I am looking for communities of like minded individuals to discuss things with. Not coming up with anything good via search engines so I thought I would try here. Please post any links you are aware of below.

Thanks

You might want to give the following three web hosting forums a go. The first two, are more geared towards Internet Marketing, whilst the last one is towards web hosting.

All three forums have a Buy/Sell marketplace where a lot of people discuss entrepreneurial ventures of theirs.

1. Digital Point (www.digitalpoint.com/forums) – popularly known as DP
2. Warrior Forums (www.warriorforum.com) and – popularly know as WF or Warriors
3. Web Hosting Talk (www.webhostingtalk.com) – popularly known as WHT

Good Luck.
