Re: Recommended Job Posting sites? Need to hire someone w/ PHP exp.

Hey Brian- Finding someone with past PHP experience is still difficult. Instead, look for people who are recreational programmers or who have a deep understanding of the mechanics behind HTTP. Whether they've worked with Java, ASP, Perl, Python, or any CGI-style environment is IMHO irrelevant. PHP as a language is not difficult to learn. Overcoming the inherant limitations of programming for the web seems to be the bigger hurdle. People don't need to have used PHP to conquer this hurdle. Either way, I'd be wary about making PHP experience a prerequisite. The desire to learn is important. Some people come in to a PHP project with the misconception that "PHP sucks" and that their own future marketability as programmers is somehow being tarnished by virtue of the fact that they have to learn and use it. Write them off.
