With apologies to the list if this is inappropriate in which case please send me to a better forum.. Immediately seeking a person to help me with a large and complex php/MySql/javascript/html project. The work will initially involve fixing up maintenance front ends (and getting a few to work) and will move quickly into presentation-layer coding that clients will see. For our client side code we use the Smarty templating system which provides for a very clean connection between the html and the data. The maintenance front ends are hacked out with php as single-document scripts (one script presents a record and the same one edits and saves). Good to know http post. Most of our systems are working and the partially-documented code will probably be an easy read once I provide the overview and tutorial. Tasks will be fairly loosely spec'd in the beginning so some creativity is desired and encouraged. If you're really good (I hope so) tell me how to do it better. However there may be deferral of some improvements as we push to get it fully working. Very close communications as to how the task will be achieved will be essential to avoid duplication of efforts and synergy. Documenting code would be a plus. Skill levels need to be intermediate to expert in php. Knowing how to structure a query is good. Figuring out how to accomplish something on the client side in Javascript (we try not to use much) and achieving a consistent look with the smarty/html is also essential. If you don't know smarty, don't worry. It's really easy to work with and well documented. Are you artsy? I know what looks good but have no idea how to get there. Artsy is welcome and needed, but not a show-stopper. We have at least a solid part time need now. Work for the first few days with me for familiarity, then independently. SSH certificate for access. One server for testing and another going online shortly for production. Non disclosure and data security agreement required. We can supply workstation here but nice if you can work with your own over a good connection. As in my posting for a linux sysadmin, we need a methodical person who documents and who can teach (without pain). I never ask the same stupid question more than once (sadly, the second time I may, however, re-phrase it). I might, after searching through other resources, send an email: "how the heck can I do [a certain task] in html". You might shrug and utter an epitaph. We are in the solar energy field. No government work. All green and good. Future? I haven't the foggiest idea. But ours is a good place to learn about solar energy and technology applications. mark richards SolarWave mark-dot-richards-at-massmicro-dot-com
