Please be praying we find someone good (or, suitably sinful but repentant and appropriately talented, because there’s nearly no such thing as a good person).

Ad proper after the break:

Youthworks.net | CYIADA

A Christian youth organisation (Anglican Youthworks) is looking for a programmer to commence immediately as part of a small team.
This is a project-based role in which you will be equipping youth ministries across Sydney with web-based communication/publishing tools and quality evangelical content.

If you have experience in:

  • building dynamic websites using MVC-style PHP, Python or Java
  • with a relational database (MySQL/PostgreSQL preferably, but it’s a clean slate!)
  • publishing PDF documents securely online
  • creating AJAX-powered interfaces securely
  • connecting to 3rd party service providers using APIs (payment gateways, SMS, etc.)
  • using code versioning systems (Subversion or CVS)

We’d love to hear from you.

Knowledge of frameworks such as Django, Struts or similar would be beneficial.

Learn more about the project at http://cyiada.com/

This high-visibility project would suit a young developer with a passion for sharing Christ and building up his disciples through the Internet.

Interested applicants please email joinus.code@cyiada.com

I’m not even using it with SVN/CVS but local versioning fixed an accidental overwrite. Best. App. Ever. It just secured its place as my markup development tool of choice. I used to be ambivalent about it where there wasn’t any PHP (using the excellent PHP Eclipse plugin) involved, because of lack of syntax highlighting and whatever else (this can be remedied very quickly using the Eclipse Web Standard Tools (WST) subproject, but it isn’t installed by default), but for everything else it offers, and for the inevitable transition into a programming language once projects reach a certain stage, it’s so worth using earlier in the process anyway.

*happy-relieved sigh*

Oops.

Fortunately, Opera will save your tabs of everything forever in a tab-cache (as well as a file-cache, but rendered), so as soon as I fired that up I knew I was saved! Such a liberating feeling. I love Opera. *saves images, markup + CSS and hurriedly checks in*
