PB Web Development
PB Web Development is growing again and we’re in need of the skills of an experienced web developer that is familiar with Joomla and has good to excellent PHP skills. The position will be a short term contract with possibilities of extension to long term contracts or employment.
This is an in-house role working internally with the PB Web Development team here in Potts Point, Sydney.
If you’re a web developer there is a high chance that you have some sort of addiction to some sort of caffeinated drink, whether its RedBull, V, Jolt or coffee.
For some reason web developers and caffeine go hand in hand (might be a bit of a generalisation).
Now for all of those coffee drinkers out there, I’m sure there are many, count how many coffees you have ordered today from the local coffee shop. (Me: 3) Times that by the amount of days you work a week. (Me: 5) Then times that by the amount of working weeks in a year. (ME: roughly 50)
If I have done my sums correctly thats 3 x 5 x 50 = 750 coffee cups a year! Now that is ridiculous! That is a lot of waste there.
One valuable resource web designers and web developers get ideas and inspiration from is magazines. One magazine that I have a subscription to is the Web Designer magazine from the UK.
I was pleasantly surprised to see this month’s issue roll out with a huge Joomla logo on the front cover and an in-depth 6 page article about the Joomla CMS. For once these magazines aren’t talking about WordPress.
It’s has a nice write up about the growth and history of Joomla since 1995. What? 1995??? Really? I think they might have stuffed up a date there. Furthermore, the facts look right and Mambo is only mentioned 3 times.
Over the past 6 months, PB Web Development has been attending Drupal meetups and groups to better understand the content management system, and to gain knowledge in building complex Drupal websites. You can see more photos of the Drupal meetups from our Facebook fanpage.
We’ve have met an array of great and passionate Drupal developers and have seen some great projects come into play. Also with the latest release of Drupal 7, it has made it very appealing to use the CMS but of course, not all the modules are ready yet for Drupal 7.
