I was going through Jeffery Zeldman's site (since he's a big "web standards" guru) and came across a couple of job links that I thought were interesting. They list tech jobs both in the US and UK (and probably elsewhere...but those were the locations that caught my eye) so I thought I'd pass them along. The first link is for "regular" jobs and the second focuses on temp and contract jobs for the freelancer.

Anyone know what a lamp programmer is? Google is not being helpfull at the moment!

 

I'd like to think a lamp programmer is the guy/girl behind my bedside lamp that has no switch and you touch the base each time to turn it off or change the amount of dim on the bulb.

 

Well, OK, but you asked for it!

 

Geez.

Here's Wikipedia's definition of LAMP.

 

Mitzs

Its an acronym for Linux Apache Mysql and PHP and details an entire development platform for open source web-based applications.

There are variations on this (for instance WAMP would be Windows Apache MySQL & PHP - WIMP would be Windows IIS MySQL & PHP etc etc) but most places looking to employ someone designing or supporting the design of open source apps would want a dedicated LAMP bod. I think the term 'LAMP programmer' is a bit pants though - to be truly proficient at developing in LAMP you'd need more than just programming skills - there's a hefty amount of Sys Admin, Networking and Security in there as well.

 

Thanks zeb that helps alot!
