@Vinny: I’m confused as to what your point of view is. You seem both annoyed that this is an old topic yet pleased that it is being brought up again.

Good to see that more ppl finally start using this habit of dividing pages into included parts.

But it was certainly not God that invented it

It’s a good point mentioning it again. but the Idea is already SO OLD

@Matthew: I think you’re right. I did think (rather naively) that people would go out of their way to test this thing to the max but, in reality that’s never going to happen and it’s not the testers’ fault but mine.

I think to be fair that you can’t really expect people to make particularly heavy use of an invoicing/accounting application within the space of one week. I use Blinksale, and the maximum number of invoices I’ve ever sent in a single week is two.

Phil, I would be interested in Beta testing your bean counting app as I may be interested in using it.

Cheers dude

As an employer I don’t really care what Grades you got (with few exceptions). The higher you get on the career ladder the more insignificant they become, in fact probably after a just few years commercial experience.

If you’ve little experience, then yes I would ‘be interested in’ your University grade; but in actuality I’m more concerned about what your University taught you and how long it would take me to un-program your university mindset (and how you’d cope with real-world commercial situations), also how you’ve flexed your developer muscles in your own time or minmimal commercial experience.

;)

@Phil
Similar principles to javascript Dom (but serverside.) Basically, allows you to manipulate XML docs to W3C DOM spec.
Have a look here http://uk3.php.net/dom.

I haven’t done web-design in 3 and a half years. This(and the rest of your site) has honestly been the best refreshers I’ve found on the web.

@richard: I have never known of an employer to ask what grade I got. Maybe it’s important in other industries - in this one it is not.

Uni/college isn’t just about your grade, it’s about growing up and learning to discipline yourself to do work and yes, in some cases, a higher grade may show a higher level of commitment to hard work.

The point is, if you leave the grades off your CV, the chances are that you’ll never be asked about them and consequently, you’ll never be judged, but if you put those results on your CV you could well be perceived negatively whether your grade is high or low.

good tips thanks!

but I disagree with regards to Uni results. All employers need to know what grade you achieved as its the most important part of your educational history. its what we paid 20k for! :D
