Did you know that were I work, plain old key value pairs sent over HTTP is not enterprisey enough? They blame it for application problems rather than their crap AIX/JSP implementation. Now they want to convert it to soap/webmethods! ARRRRRRGH, who subscribed them to infoweek!!!
Responsibilities: * * Writing application and related database objects to enable users* * dynamic interaction with the web site
Ummmm, I can just smell the AJAX talk...
* Integrating a diverse set of data sources including related databases, search engines, and XML data
y = integral from 1 to infinity of x /dXml
* Integrating feeds from 3rd parties into the nytimes.com content management system

I got the BS part right.

I wrote a web page 6 years ago. Just yesterday I updated it. Does that count.
* Unix proficiency
I can FSCK right up there with the rest of them.
* Experience with one or more scripting languages such as Perl, PHP and Python
What do snakes have to do with it?
* Strong working knowledge of RDBMS, SQL and basic database optimization concepts
The M in LAMP stands for mysql, I'm not sure this counts.

and other things starting with X.
* Comfort with Regular Expressions
Sounds kinky!

Stop it your scaring me.
* Experience designing and tuning applications that can scale
I have other uses for scales.
* Some background in a structured programming language, such as Java or C/C++
How about turtle graphics? It is pretty structured.
* Oracle-specific SQL, PL/SQL
Wait, there is no O in LAMP.
* Use of source control
cp myprogram.php myprogramv1.php, check.
*Short for Linux, Apache, MySQL and PHP, an open-source Web development platform that uses Linux as the operating system, Apache as the Web server, MySQL as the RDBMS and PHP as the object-oriented scripting language. Perl or Python is often substituted for PHP. LAMP has become a de facto development standard.
