The website that best matches my project is www.bostonmarket.com . I come from a non-computer based background so excuse my lack of technological lingo. Most importantly- - My customers will need to be able to create personalized log-in accounts. - My website will have to be able to store and deal with credit card information. - Customers will need to be able to create an address book. Specifically what I want from the Boston Market website is the "Online ordering". Under the "Catering" tab....go to "Online Ordering". I like the simple format which is used to place an order. Basically I want to set up a catering website. I understand that this is a fairly complex project with a substantial portion on the backend. In your reply, I would appreciate previously completed websites. Thank you- Chris Tan ChristopherJTan at hotmail.com -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I thought I would look here, as the majority of the candidates they have found were not hands-on folks with relevant FOSS experience. Yes, some of them thought PHP was a barbituate. So, here is the type of CTO that they are looking for - is that you? * Well-versed in LAMP technologies * Well-versed in high-traffic (think billions, not millions) * Good development operational skills (revision control, change management) * Strong understanding of development methodologies * Strong OO background * Can manage/negotiate vendor contracts * Good enterprise operational knowledge (WAN/LAN, hardware, software, PBX etc) In a nutshell, this company has fully leveraged LAMP as the core of their business, and is living and dying by it. At present they have a huge homegrown codebase that is no longer maintainable as it is entirely based on procedural, ad-hoc code. The developers are all good foot soldiers, but there is currently no "alpha male" personality to drive technology direction. They are looking for someone that can come in, roll up the sleeves, assert dominance, and get things organized and streamlined so that they can get back to their formerly nimble, agile competitive selves ;-) Please write me back if you are interested, or know someone that might be interested.

I'd rather feed the NYPHP community than the middlemen. As a small-time competitive webmaster ;-) I have maintained small-job relationships with PHP/LAMP technologists with the following characteristics: * numerous small jobs, paid via PayPal or via third-party (client) arrangement as freelance work * Drupal/Joomla/Wordpress/other installs/mods * sysadmin along the specific lines of competitive webmastering (lots of little details) * scripts and code development off-the-beaten-track, in alignment with that somewhat-unique sysadmin stuff * Confidentiality is of the utmost importance, so jobs are either obscured from their ultimate deployment (and thus are properly abstracted or generalized) or the developer is brought in on profit share (ad revenue, affiliate commissions) * The process is often driven by SEO and Competitive (ecommerce/marketing) tactics. That might mean the reasons for requirements are not clear to you... so if you are uncomfortable doing something a certain way "just because", then this work is definitely not for you. * Often the key driver is novelty or opportunity... so speed is important as is .. did I mention CONFIDENTIALITY? There is no tolerance for missing first-mover advantage because someone broke confidence. There can be no tolerance for unauthorized re-use of proprietary code or tactic developed for such projects (although FOSS is fine provided any release is after the competitive advantage has been exhausted). Are you interested in small project work? You will work directly with me. Over time you may also be included into plans on per-project partner basis. If you haven't thought these comment thru, let me summarize some possible consequences: * you won't be building your resume because this stuff is all confidential. You will see opportunities to make money and build web assets * you will be learning first hand how Drupal/Joomla/WordPress/other are "broken" from the competitive perspective, and finding ways to "fix" them. * you will sometimes feel like a spy in a Spy vs. Spy comic book (sometimes the white one, sometimes the black one). * you will learn how the pros are doing things, although you may not learn why they work or how well they work until you participate yourself. * you cannot pursue the same ideas/projects/tactics on your own without being completely shunned...and it will always be better not to be shunned :-) I have more opportunity than I can manage and I have openings for PHP/LAMP technologists right now on a per-project, freelance basis as described. Some of the skills that really make you valuable include: Faster than a speeding bullet : you can yank crappy role management out of an otherwise decent FOSS PHP script in a few minutes time. Or add it inside the day. More powerful than a locomotive : you can mod httpconf via .htaccess or ssh on Dreamhost/Hostway/Westhost/WhomeverHost without calling tech support, and then make PHP progress on your project Able to leap tall buildings in a single bound : "make this work on that host as well" and "abstract this so it works over there" sound the same to you. or for the nostalgic among you: faster than a streak of lightning : "integrate and and " doesn't take all day more powerful than the pounding surf : "it uses smarty - please fix that problem" is almost trivial for you (yes, we have CSS / designers on call) mightier than a roaring hurricane : "it's 180GB, but we only need about 10MB of it in MySQL for this project" != problem Obviously this is not usually all one person... it is parsed into small jobs as needed and the PHP person is likely to comprise much of the glue. If you have interest, send me your contact info and I will put you on the list for consideration. If you want you can highlight work you are proud of or skills you feel make you worthy of the short list. Those who are very specialized (MySQL guru, CSS guru, crack visual designer, Drupal/Joomla/WP expert, etc) I have definite need provided you are both independent and flexible (more often than not, your expert advice will be valued but not adopted exactly or entirely).
