By Tim Priebe on April 13, 2009 at 5:11 pm in General

We’re looking to hire on a full-time programmer student worker for this summer, with the possibility of continuing on into the school year. We are looking for someone who learns quickly. Experience in the following is a plus, but IS NOT absolutely necessary:

  • PHP
  • MySQL
  • XHTML / CSS
  • Javascript (jQuery experience would be nice)
  • General IT support
  • Social Networking
  • WordPress
  • Adobe suite (Photoshop, Fireworks, Dreamweaver, etc.)

Again, experience in those areas is not necessary, but would be a plus. We’re looking for someone to start immediately after the semester ends, the very next week.

Email us your resume, any code samples, and URL to any online work you’ve done. Also indicate the date you would be available to begin, and when your summer break ends. If you look like you might be a good fit, we will call or email you to schedule an interview.

  • Location: Edmond, Oklahoma
  • Compensation: $10/hr
  • This is an internship job

Open Source Web Design

By Nick Little on August 25, 2008 at 6:30 am in General,Link Roundup

I have always wondered what open source tools are out there for web design just in case I decide to boycott Adobe or Adobe goes bankrupt or something. It turns out there are some pretty good options for web design. None of them are quite as good as Fireworks or Dreamweaver, but they do get pretty close at least for the classic Apache, MySQL, PHP setup.

The best PHP editor actually turned out to be the best CSS and Javascript editor I could find as well. They are actually plugins to one of the best open source IDEs (Integrated Development Environments) available, Eclipse. Eclipse can be downloaded from www.eclipse.org.The plug-ins for PHP, CSS, and Javascript are PHP Development Tools, CSS Eclipse Plug-in, and JavaScript Editor Eclipse Plug-in, respectively. The PHP Plug-in was designed to work with XAMPP, a cross-platform Apache, MySQL, PHP, Perl distribution.

Last, but not least we have the GIMP. It is by far the most popular open source image editing application. It lacks many of the features of Photoshop, but most can be accomplished using either plug-ins or a combination of steps. Exporting images using slicing is much more difficult than using Fireworks, but it can still be done.

Using open source software would not be my first choice, but if something happened where I did not have access to Adobe products I would still be able to be productive.
