Not being an expert or even a novice in mysql is ok, we have a lot of junior devs who use phpmyadmin pretty extensively (no matter how much I bug them haha) but you better understand what a basic join is even if you can't construction without some documentation. 2b)Basic mysql (even better if you understand the db abstraction layer, and how it has changed). (This isn't to scare or discourage you it's just a reality for backend people, we need OOP.)Ģ)Drupal specific stuff 2a)Forms api, can you create a form? Can you alter a form? Most importantly do you understand how forms api can be used to implement settings pages and node forms. If this sounds complicated to you then you should work on number 1 if you want to do a lot of back end work. Write a program that outputs the numbers 1-100 except if the number is a multiple of 3 print "fiz", if it's a multiple of 5 print bang, and multiple of 3 and 5 fiz bang. Here is what I ask every person I interview (stolen from a reddit creator actually =) ) If you don't come from a CS background this is usually the tricky part I've found since most PHP devs started with 4 (that's changing rapidly now that I'm out of school a few years) and don't really work with a lot of OOP, just the nature of the work and it wasn't really greatly supported in 4. Every developer we hire must be able to at least give me a basic idea of what an object is, what the different types of variables are, and what the differences between things like interfaces and abstract classes. As far as skill sets are concerned, it's a bit difficult to say but when I'm hiring (for a developer I don't deal with the front end stuff mostly back end module) I look for experience in the following things.ġ)Object oriented principles. PS All the movement towards Ruby on Rails is making me nervous.įrom a module developer perspective (you seem to have done more frontend and themeing work so I have no idea if backend work interests you).ĭo not worry about Ruby, yes it's popular but so is Drupal, I can't hire enough drupal people at our company. I'm currently learning JQuery to enhance my skillset. Given the reality of how much I'm actually earning, and how incredibly important it is to pay off my school loans, I'd appreciate your advice on rapidly raising my value. Not sure how much this helps b/c graphics designers don't get paid as much as developers). Top flight design skills (I started out as a graphics designer.

So, that's the context for this question: what CORE skills should I focus on to rapidly raise my value? HOWTODOIT?Ībout 1.5 years casual Drupal experience (mainly working with admin interface, views, custom theme development, modules), and a few months of custom module dev (Created Android app that interacts with Drupal site) Still, overall, on the front end of the learning curve. But jeez, that no state income tax sure sounds nice. $38000 minus $5400 for self employment taxes = 32600! Wow! This my salary calculation for Oregon, where I hope to move (just in time for DrupalCon!) I'm currently in Austin, Texas. After state and federal income taxes, my salary comes to $38000. The calculation looks like this: gross income is $48000 per year. This is pretty disheartening because I burdened myself with loans to go to a "prestigious" private school, and I was hoping to pay them off much much faster than a 30 year schedule.

I've never had a full time job outside of school (only part time), so I figured the tax rate would be something like 15%. I just found out my $25/hr salary as a contractor is far less than I thought it was due to federal income tax, state income tax, and self employment tax.

Some of these software opportunities were at well known tech companies with great salaries. I turned down opportunities at conventional software dev jobs to enter the world of Drupal Development, where I'd be able to create my own things have more say over my future. #3 go to site/default/settings.php uncomment this lines 807 to 809 (#) if (file_exists($app_root.
