Hello there,
I am a blind, Iranian web developer. I have worked with PHP for about a
year, and have created websites for clients who, due to their close bonds
with me (E.G. as a friend, relative, etc) has been able to walk through
every step of the website design stages with me (E.G. placement of
navigation menu, footers, headers, content, etc). I considered myself a
beginner, stepping towards the stage marked "intermediate". Today, though,
my idea of where I stand made a jarring change.
I took a look at websites offering freelance jobs, namely
http://www.freelancer.com and http://www.project4hire.com. I saw instantly
that what a client expects of me is to just "get it right", meaning, don't
call them and ask where should everything be, what color it should be, etc,
etc. Realizing that I am far behind due to my blindness, and dismayed, I
contacted my other blind friends that have done web development. I have been
offered one solution that has always worked: find partner(s).
I thought long and hard on this, trying to find out a place I could reach to
other fellow web developers, and in the end of the day, I came up with the
PHP.general mailing list that has always helped me in the past.
So, in the end, here is my question. Is anyone willing to work with an
Iranian PHP developer that has experience with cooperative development
tools, enthusiasm towards groupwork, is a fast-learner (meaning is willing
to read documentations, ask questions, etc), and has good
writing/reading/speaking knowledge, and is completely blind? If so, would
you be kind as to email me off-list?
Thank you,
Parham Doustdar
P.S.: Please, if this is off-topic, do not shout at me. I tried going to
http://news.php.net to find any rules regarding what is and
isn't allowed on
the list, but found none. This is of course my shortcoming, but I prefer
being contacted off-list, rather than being bombarded by messages that read,
"read the rules" or "just fucking google it"; believe me, I have tried.
Thank you once again, and sorry for the long email.
