so basically you have to be a webdesign genius:lol:

[CyanBlue]

The post says much more about the developer than the designer... Flash developer to be exact, SlowRoasted... ;)

[CyanBlue]

Still looking for the right one if you are interested... :)

I know this has been posted only a week, but I am amazed to see no resume on my desk for this job...

[Timmee_3styler]

Oh ya I remember you developing a weather program before, so looks like things are going well with you then :) Good luck with the search cause I am still in school :P

[CyanBlue]

Yeah... Good luck with your school as well... Hope you get out of the school soon... :)

[petefs]

I'd be interested if I filled this requirement: Experience with integrating ASP/ASP.NET + SQL Server

^_^

[CyanBlue]

You are tooooo over-qualified for this job, petefs... ;)

[petefs]

Very kind of you to say so, CB ^_^

I've left my company, and will be looking to do contract work while I put together my materials and contacts to find a new job -- so I'm a ronin, you might say. At least for a bit.

[j_polo9]

Lol i don't know how many people usually check job offers so that might be a problem. Also there isn't that much info listed about what the job entails.

the entire job description is two small sentences so it seems hard to know if anyone will like the job or be able to do it based on that.

i used to use weatherbug, there's a station in my elementary school :). i created my own little php thing for weather now though, plus forecast fox
Experience with HTML/XTML/CSS/JavaScript
that's me, but i'm in middle school, i don't think you want a middle schooler on the job :P

plus i prefer PHP :) good luck to whoever gets a job there

[CyanBlue]

@petefs...
Oh... I didn't know that... I hope you get good and solid one soon...
As I was saying, you are WAY over-qualified for the job, and you live way too far... :(
Not that I'd enjoy your company right next to me...
Besides that, if I were to leave the beach front, I'd be really hesitant... :)

@j_polo9...
I hear you... Blame my bad writing skill for that... But that's something we could really sum up for the position...
As for people not lurking around in this section... I actually think that's a good sign because many people already have permanent job... :)

@hLaLL...
Man... You are good as a middle schooler and I am sure your skillset will only grow better and better... Keep up the good work... ;)
As for the server side scripts... I never said that you actually need to know the ASP or whatever else... I said... 'Experience with integrating' which 'basically' rolls down to whether you know how to use LoadVars() object in Flash... That's all...
I think we have some more stuff for middle school student at the http://Achieve.WeatherBug.com go check them out... ;)

[j_polo9]

you live way too far...I never said that you actually need to know the ASP or whatever else... I said... Yea just stuff like that could be cleared up. Where should you be located if applying, or will moving be an option. What kind of work you'll be doing so you know if you need to know asp hands down or just the basics, i think would help for people wondering about the job.
