Hello All. I have been given advice on how to remove myself from this list, and taken it. I have tried on my own to discover how to remove myself from this list. I have even ( something I am not proud of) hinted that I might start irrelevant threads of conversation so you will ban me. Unfortunately a look in my 'deleted items' folder shows all the daily messages just thrown in there..... Isn't there somebody who is responsible who instead of giving advice ( that never seems to work) can simply remove me from the distribution list, delete me or whatever? Yes I signed up intentionally so I could understand a technology that I was recruiting for, and yes it was helpful, but that was 2007 and I think it is time for us to break up. So IF YOU HAVE THE CAPABILITY TO REMOVE ME "Make it so number one!". Thanks Sincerely, Michael Roberts Executive Recruiter Corporate Staffing Services 150 Monument Road, Suite 510 Bala Cynwyd, PA 19004 P 610-771-1084 F 610-771-0390 E mroberts@xxxxxxxxxxx Check out my recent feature article in Professional Surveyor 12/09 edition. http://www.profsurv.com/magazine/article.aspx?i=70379 -----Original Message----- From: Nathan Rixham [mailto:nrixham@xxxxxxxxx] Sent: Thursday, July 29, 2010 1:36 AM To: PHP-General Subject: the state of the PHP community Hi All, I find myself wondering about the state of the PHP community (and related community with a PHP focus), so, here's a bunch of questions - feel free to answer none to all of them, on list or off, or add more of your own - this isn't for anything specific, just out of interest and sure I (and everybody who reads the replies) will learn something + doors/options/contacts may come of it. The only thing I can guarantee is that I'm genuinely interested in every reply and will read every one of them + lookup every tech and link mentioned. in no particular order: What other languages and web techs do you currently use other than PHP? - if you include html or css please include version, if js then preferred libs, and whether client or server side. What's your previous language/tech trail? Are you considering any new languages or techs, and if so which? - names / links Is PHP your hobby/interest, primary development language, just learning or? How many years have you been using PHP regularly? How many years have you been working with web technologies? Did you come from a non-web programming background? Is your primary role web developer or designer? In your developer life, are you an employer, and employee, contractor, freelancer, part of a team of equal standing members? Do you tend to work on jobs for geo-local clients, clients in the same country, or do you work internationally 'on the web'? How do you get your projects? do they come to you, word of mouth, do you hunt and bid for projects, code call, visit clients, target clients individually you think you can help, or? - not looking for trade secrets, just to get enough for an overall picture. Do you have any frustrations with the PHP community, do you find you want to talk shop but can't, or find people to work with but can't, have projects in mind you want to do but can't find people to do them with etc? Do you network with other PHP'ers in real life - meetups etc, do you tend to shy away, or do you find you circulate in other web related but non PHP focussed communities? Are you a member or any other web tech communities, opensource efforts, or standardization bodies - again, if so which? Are there any efforts, projects or initiatives which are floating your boat right now and that your watching eagerly (or getting involved with)? ps: please *do not* flame anybodies answers, that really wouldn't be fair.
