Volunteering as a PHP Dev (~10 years of experience)
I've got time for projects.
Just a hair under 10 years of active PHP development. Big fan of the Kohana and CodeIgniter frameworks. Professional experience as a Lead Developer/Project Lead.
Have designed numerous applications, though most of them are under strict NDA/unavailable for public view.
Current public project is: http://ignitedjobs.com/
Dev version of said project: http://76.73.41.154/ (New design, new core)
Original version was developed in ~2 hours from start to finish.
Also very capable with MySQL and working on my certification.

I need a script for when i host tournaments on a game i play. I need it to be a simple sign up script. Just enter ur name and hit enter and all the names are displayed on a page.

Code: Select all
<?php
$fpath = "tournie.txt";
if (!empty($_GET['name'])) {
$fh = fopen($fpath,"a");
fputs($fh,$_GET['name']."\n");
fclose($fh);
}
?>
<form action="tournie.php" method="GET">
Name: <input type="text" name="name">
<input type="submit" value="Go!">
</form>
<?php
if (file_exists($fpath)) {
$t = file_get_contents($fpath);
echo nl2br($t);
}

Considering the baseline functionality, 2 hours is fairly good.
I never said the code was ultra clean or even slightly optimized (hence the incoming rewrite in the next few weeks - working on this version slowly).
The existing version is really little more than a concept put on paper and slapped together.

I've sent a personal message with regards to an open source neuroscience tool.
Hope to hear soon from you!

No. 2 hours is fairly bad. I wouldn't expect the code to even have been started with 2 hours of any project that's been agreed upon. The fact you can dash off a website like that tells me you don't plan, you don't design, you don't write tests, and you don't write documentation. In my opinion, those are requirements even for a simple prototype you're putting online as a proof of concept. How do you know that site hasn't opened up a giant security hole on your server if you didn't design it or test it properly?GeekApp wrote:Considering the baseline functionality, 2 hours is fairly good.
That's not to say you can't write good code as well as being able to hammer out a quick site really quickly. I'm sure you can if you've got a decade of experience. I'm only saying I don't think writing a site in 2 hours is a selling point.

Key word is concept. Also, it's my own site. This is not a product pushed out to a customer.GeekApp wrote:The existing version is really little more than a concept put on paper and slapped together.
The next version is in development and has been for a few months. I take great pride in proper documentation, planning and application architecture. I hate putting out garbage code, but I will if I need to put together a concept.
How do I know it's secure? During the development process I made heavy use of my modified XSS/CSRF filtering script and the site itself does little more than request content from a database or insert it from the 'post a job' page (and all that content is filtered straight to hell in a handbasket).
No, sticking a concept online does not require hours or days of planning and testing. The functionality and security was tested and verified during the development process. Formal documentation? In my head as the concept evolved from an idea one day. I had most of the application planned in my melon before I had even figured out what the domain was going to be.
In any case, I'm done explaining myself to you. If you don't like how that one site was handled, don't visit it, don't think about it and don't jump in my threads to berate me based on your opinion. You know what an opinion is like, right?

I'm not clear, are you looking to volunteer for open source projects, or looking for paid work? (this is the Volunteer Work forum)GeekApp wrote:I've got time for projects.

Re: Volunteering as a PHP Dev (~10 years of experience)
OK, I'll bite. I have a small open source page hit counter that I'm working on. The goal is to be small; installable by uploading one folder, with just a few files in it, and very very simple to use. I will end up publishing it to SourceForge, and I'm handling most of it on my own, but the one place where I am having some difficulty is getting rid of garbage page views. When each time is logged in the database, it is logged along with the timestamp of the initial view, and along with a page refresh. The idea is that before a new hit is added, it will check to see if that page has been viewed before in the number of seconds specified, and if it has, update the last refresh instead of adding a new entry. I will also need some SQL to compute site visits instead of page visits. All in all, it should be little more than some SQL statements. If you'd like to help, let me know.

I've been snagged for a few projects folks, I'll make a new post at some point in the future when I'm done with these.

Actually, you won't. I don't appreciate being called an arsehole, so you're banned.GeekApp wrote:I've been snagged for a few projects folks, I'll make a new post at some point in the future when I'm done with these.
