Hello I'm new to this site.
Well I'm looking for a Job.

My skills are.
x(HTML).
CSS.
JAVASCRIPT.
AJAX.
PHP.
mySQL.

I can design a site from the ground up, and develop the back end.
My passion is the web and creating platforms for it.

If you have a server a domain name and project you have in mind I can start working on it right now.

My web host canceled my server show I can't show you the projects I've created.
I am working on a Social Question and Answer site like quora.com which is valued at 84 million dollars. So if you have a business mind. I'm the developer for you.
I have the skills, waiting for them to be used.

I am located in Johannesburg.
 
You have a PM, PS if you are reasonably priced I need about 4 sites done

And if he can't help you out give me a shout. I am not trying to steal your thread Matthew - only if you don't take the jobs for whatever reason :)

I checked out your site liking it a lot!
Maybe we could go into a partnership and take on some of the heavy hitters? Just a suggestion :)

There's always options mate. My site will be redone soon as my main business focus has moved largely to Rich Internet Applications and Software rather than traditional websites. Drop me a PM sometime of some of your work (when you have it) and we can discuss.
 
Interesting what RIA applications have you created so far? Would be a joy to see another developers work.
I'm busy creating my personal site as we speak.

I would also like to see what apps you have created so far My website are up and running although most of the design and scripting I did not do myself but would be nice to see you're work as I might need a new developer in the near future since my work consumes most of my time I don't get much time to do the modifications myself.
 
@Acid I consider myself a good web designer and developer. Not great but good.

This guy is a good designer, developer and motion graphics designer. http://www.matthieudufour.com/ You can be as good as you set out to be work hard work.

You can be a great developer and a good designer.
What I would like to know is what makes you say that?

From my experience I'd say you can be great at both :)

I'd have to agree with AcidRaZor - you can do both but then you will only ever be passable at one, or both of them, never a master in both. You may *think* you're great at both but you will never know the depths of insight and subtleties and deeper knowledge that comes from being fully focussed on either one or the other as a career. As the saying goes, "You don't know what you don't know" - and this is never truer of a jack of all trades who has acceptable skills in multiple fields but no true mastery of any.

Everything on this site guy's site points to him being a great designer with some flash/php/javascript programming knowledge - i.e. not the profile of a "great" developer - it's all web related languages with a narrow application to the web - nothing like c/c++/objective-c/c#/perl/lisp/assembly that you would typically see on a top grade developer's profile. He may be proficient in php/javascript but that does not make a "great" developer IMHO. Great developers are the kind of people who could re-write core parts of a linux kernel or come up with something like memcached or do embedded device programming at assembly level, or re-write the driver for a network card in a good morning - not sure that php/javascript/flash is in that league, but maybe I'm prejudiced?? (...waits for flames from php devs.)

Sadly all of my RIA's do not have public access. I am working on setting up some demo's and case studies that I have done. PM me your email address and I'll send you something as soon as I have it.

You can't be a good developer AND be a designer. Sorry. Choose one.

You can be a good developer and designer. I don't consider myself a good designer - I do consider myself a very good developer though. But I have met people who are good at both.

Though I agree with some other comments here, being a master at both is unrealistic.
 
Fair enough you cant be a master of both but there are good web designer and developers that are better then most.

@garp I thought we were talking about just web design and web development since the thread is about web design and web development. I don't know anyone who can design great web layouts and code c++ and php. But what web developer would need to know c++ or the workings on linux.
