That's not to say that all web developers can't do that. I can. Its not that tough. I do honestly wonder what it is they teach in college. I've took 2 years (on and off) at a Community College and was able to do very well for myself. But, I have seen many "developers" that had impressive 4 year degrees on the resume and couldn't create an algorithm that removed duplicate records from a record set. Lol, some couldn't even tell me what their favorite text editor was ("All of them" ~Palin). I'm not sure what to tell you, kolev. For me, it has come to the point where asking trivial questions during interviews just doesn't work. You truly know what a dev can do when a dev develops. In my shop, we work on classic asp, and asp.net web applications. I'm currently creating a package that will address the common building and troubleshooting scenarios pertaining to those frameworks. If the applicant cannot complete the task to satisfactory, then they don't belong here. Good developers are out there. But you have to make a decision "Am I willing to pay a premium for them, or see if I can get just get lucky?"
