I am new to programming period. I have about a year and a half of experience, and I work with a few CS degree holders that I smoke. I've developed multitiered EJB systems, and written articles for JavaPro in my small amount of time. I have learned all my stuff from people like Fowler, Coad, Robert C. Martin, GoF. I got lucky because early on a mentor I worked with pointed me to the right books. Degrees mean shit when you fire up an empty text buffer, but I sure wish I had one because they testify to your dedication and disipline. It is unfortunate that curriculums haven't caught up to the realities of modern computing. My favorite part in the movie good will hunting is when he is perusing the psychologists book collection (played by williams) and he says, "They're the wrong fucking books." Most CS degree holders have wasted lots of time reading the wrong fucking books.
We have a three managers. One takes care of all the application development/graphics stuff, one for the DBAs, and then the last manages everyone. We have about 10 Java developers, and half are contractors. We have 6 or 7 DBAs in house, but only half know what they are doing. Also, we have a full staff of business engineers (RUP, IEEE SCM) but they are a joke, and produce zero deliverables.
The last project I worked on, I did all the req engineering, research, arch, coding, testing, documentation, html, graphics, DBA stuff, and the project was a complete success. No kidding!
I don't know. I guess I am saying that I am one of those people that sometimes tries to do everything on his own and usually does a good job. I am sure this can be bad sometimes, but I don't care. Try to find more people like me that work hard and aren't afraid to cross over boundaries with skills they don't possess. find people that place great stake in research and learning, and aren't going to say, "that's not my responsibility." This is a proven benefit of BPR (business process engineering) techniques. You'll always get that lamer that argues that she can't learn everything because she wants to specialize in one thing. I say, stop being a pussy and hit the books; your mind can handle an immense amount of complexity.
Sure readers have been able to logically prove his points wrong, but I think he is on to something. Responsibly handling security issues is a good idea to defer script kiddies from giving people a hard time.
One is slow and buggy and the other is slow and buggier? You moron. Java provides an elegant syntax for writing quality software. Are you a programmer? I don't think so, you are a fucking moron and I hope someone beats the shit out of you quick!
accessibility is a good idea, since i have heard things about agencies getting sued for not being ADA compliant. As far as content goes, I would advise you to look into XML/XSLT for seperating your content and presentation. You can effectively build an information architecture using XML, and you can style it with XSLT. This is useful if you have multiple views of your data (snazzy dhtml/html based, Handheld based, PDF, ADA compliant [i.e. no frames with an shitload of alt tags]). As far as layout and design goes, i suggest you consult works by Jacob Niesen. He is a little overated (and overpaid) in my opinion, but he has decent ideas now and again. Good luck

You seem to have misplaced your brain.

You are an idiot. Go write some obfusicated code with your crap language of choice and waste everyone's time. Else, open your mind and learn Java
Have you ever played that old game consult Eliza? Only difference was you could fire off obscenities at her and she would get angry.
