The site is very dark and bland which sits badly with "We design unique and original brand identity", which is itself clumsy English. The site design is not original and others have done it better. If brand identity is important t

It wasn't a personal attack per-se but to simply point out that if a poster puts up an article that contributes nothing other than 'historical interest' then I am going to think twice about clicking on other links from them.

Oh goody an article that is more than 2 years old. Thanks for the link I've learnt so much from it. Like how I should ignore anything posted by dotcoma

A company I worked at was a Perl shop (online academic publishing) but we found it almost impossible to recruit anyone who had even the smallest of skills in it. At the same time the colleges and universities were churning out Java trained

For us a junior is someone who is starting, possibly a graduate or even just out of school. This is someone who is still learning the craft of programming (gathering real world experience) rather than the text book skills. After a year they

Pretty much the same here. Been coding since I left school in 1979. Comfortable but not really seen much money but its a great life. However I have finally started to move into management. Meetings, be nice to clients, billing and invoicing

How about ranking by how well they pay. There might be loads of PHP jobs out there but round these parts they have been advertised as "meets minimum national wage". McD pays better

The link you submitted goes straight to the Microsoft sales page. No news, no discussion. Just pure advertising. If you are upgrading to Windows 8 then good for you. But the link you posted is just an advert.

However if you are looking to recruit coders for the project first you need to find a good (PHP / Ruby) coder and then let them help you with the recruiting. If your skills in either PHP or Ruby are not up to snuff then you are likely to ma

There are three things to look at: 1) consume less resources - when passive ways are there to cool your server room that would allow you to cut back on the cooling system 2) seek greener alternative sources - could you supplement your curre

HTML and CSS are plenty to create a website with. I appreciate you going the extra distance to make it unreadable in my browser. Dread to think what the magazine is like if this is what you do to a one page website :(

After several years of Java programming I am now in the position of being able to turn down offers of work. I consider having been a Java programmer akin to having appeared in a porn movie. I was young, naive and needed the money. I am seri

Also the last update was nearly two years ago and the website has expired. What are we supposed to do with this?

The only problem here is that you are assuming only one point of view is correct. So if I down vote you because I believe what you are saying is wrong but a lot of supporters of your view up vote then I will be punished for having a discent

Well you've probably got Java down pat by now, try something new that will put bread on the table. Learn Ruby and Ruby on Rails. This should get you away from the overengineering that Java seems to attract and there are plenty of Rails jobs

The scores told you only which comments were popular not which comments were worth reading. So it's no great loss for me. Personally I would go whole hog and remove the usernames so we wouldn't have to deal with the celebrity poster fixatio

When clicking on the free download button IT SHOULD NOT take you to a page that essentially says "Dumbass you should have registered first!" If you need to register then make it part of the download page. Now lets be honest here, I am very

The problem is that we are (mostly) programmers and the temptation to automate this sort of thing is quite overwhelming :) Well we use tools to automate the reading of this site, why not the posting too?

The words "should", "ought", "duty", "moral" and "respect" and anyone who thinks that they have a valid argument because they have used them. People who don't try. People who think complaining is conversation.

Lets be honest here most languages are much of a muchness, religious wars aside, and will probably all end up with pretty much the same set of features. Sure I would like to have the time to play with OCaml / Erlang / Haskel but what I real
