Yeah, you're right about that. I was just trying to explain how you can work in an environment and make websites, but not necessarily grasp a full understanding of the language you're working in. But my feeling from the post was t

Yeah, I guess I didn't quite make my point clear. All I meant was that it's easy to work inside frameworks without truely understanding the language. I wasn't "comparing" myself to her. I was just explaining how it

Like I mentioned below, as a self taught web programmer, it was years before I came across a modulus in a real-world situation. I feel like it's understandable to not have a 100% grasp on all the basics and still produce stuff. I think

To be fair, I was a self taught programmer (albeit PHP) and I was on my second or third programming job before I came across a modulus in the wild. It's really simple basic programming theory, but not super common in live web developme

I do the same, and it's pretty common. I feel like the point of the post is that if that is what a company expects, they should outline it in the initial job description to prevent wasting everybody's time. Just saying HTML/C

I don't disagree with you that the job expected programming in their candidate. Nor should she have rationalized away the two lines that mentioned Javascript in description. However, I do believe that there is a communication error on

I don't think it's necessary for the post. I figured the comments would be a nice place for it if people were curious.

I could be wrong, but I believe the post that he's referring to as inspiration is this one: https://css-tricks.com/tales-of-a-non-unicorn-a-story-about-... A pretty interesting story about job titles and descriptions t

Well, if you have any additional questions or need a direction to start in, I'd be more than willing to help. From your basic description, the simplest way to be to just have straight PHP with MySQL/postgresql. And I believe you m

The fortunate thing is that you have a fair amount of options when it comes to technologies for a web app. I personally have used php for years and have been working extensively with ruby and python recently. Here are some general things t

The lead programmer at my last job encouraged us to use it as a way to make sure our conditionals & foreach loops (PHP programmer) weren't doing too much. If we had to use braces, it was a sign to check it out and see if it could

It's a C-style language syntax option. If it's only a single line in after the if, the braces are optional. I've also seen it in C++ and PHP. Whether or not it's sloppy is up for debate and just a matter of personal pr
