awesome guys. thanks a lot. one thing I think I DO have going for me -- true I have only flown solo, never worked on a team, but my current project was designed entirely to someone else's specs. I knew there would be lots of changes as it went along and I think I did a decent job of working in some basic OOP so I would only have to make changes once. I guess what I still don't get is how do I go about "exposing" the code for it? it is a live web site -- I don't want the average visitor to see chunks of code all over the place. do I put up a separate copy on a separate website? point the employer to the real deal first, then give him a link to a "behind the scenes" version? and then what? just throw in "<pre>" tags -- "this is how I did this part"? ~ matt On 4/19/07, bedul <landavia81@xxxxxxxxx> wrote:
