This for me would be the ultimate test for a web programmer, specially
the attention to comment ratio, etc.
Was there a time limit? I guess I would need at least 1-2 hours. (I'm
not too keen on pulling data from XML nodes by heart. It would be easier
for me to pull it from a CSV.)
What makes the webmaster position interesting is that you kinda need to
be a triple threat: HTML/CSS/front-end stuff + coding (php,
actionscript, javascript, etc) + basic sysadmin stuff (at least FTP,
htaccess, etc.)
So if we emphasize programming too much do we leave out front-end and
server stuff??
