PHP

[Andy Miller]

Anyone any luck in getting a good PHP programmer from India ( rate is approx GBP8 per hour )

 

[fisicx]

Nope.

Last time I tried all I got was offers of prescripted code. They were hopeless at anything bespoke (which was what I needed).

In the end I used a chap in the uk. Took about an hour to do once briefed and cost me £40. Far better investment than the prevarication I got from India.

What is it you need doing?

 

[Andy Miller]

Just need someone can farm out small jobs too.

I tend to used the php and coding forums these days.

Ask the question and someone usually pops back with the coded solution.

You will find most coders are very happy to just do it for free on forums

see link http: //www. indigocarhire. co. uk/ and scrolling images,, how do they they wordings on top of graphic... is it easy to do ?

Sorry no idea but think looks great

The scrolling images is not PHP, maybe javascript / ajax without looking at the code

 

[trev.pope]

The wording is just done within the graphic itself, not programmed.

It's a wordpress plugin: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/thethe-image-slider/

But as indicated above, they've just added the text using an image editor.

Believe it or not I have just been quoted "between £15,000 and £20,000" (there words) to add some PHP code to 3 webpages!!!

And before anyone asks, they where being deadly serious!!!

A good friend of mine worked in India for 5 years and you need a hell of a lot of patience working with Indian guys (in general)

Hey everyone, let's remember that generalising people by race is not cool.

 

[RevaxMedia]

I put that so it never meant to be about race - what I was saying is that low cost entry level PHP developers usually found in India or similar countries - you need to have patience.

It never meant to be about race - it's about race.

If it helps you understand, replace the word "India" with "England". Does the same sentence now seem ridiculous? That's because it is.

I do not need to have patience, it would seem I need to speak louder.

I've spoken these words many times with many mods, many posts and threads have been deleted.

The ironic thing is, I work with colleagues in Bangalore who would put shame on the salaries, quality of work, and work ethic of some people on this forum who make generalisations.

I've also worked with some nutters in Bangalore. I'm not about to assume it's because of where they're from.

Please ukbf, think before you post

That's because they are experienced and established in their field and are hard to find - they get paid more because they are hard to find so that would tell me the market is saturated with entry level workers which would mean finding someone would be harder.

 

[cmcp]

They're the brightest developers I've ever worked, and trained with.

You could do the same sort of slide using jQuery and edit your images to add the text quite easy to do

And who exactly made you the Jiminy Cricket of UKBF; the PC in this place is beginning to get totally ridiculous. RevaxMedia was relaying his friend's personal experience of working in India. It's definitely not cool to shout on a forum because you have read something into a post that wasn't there in the first place.

Very good
