Professional Web Programmer Hired

I was talking to my friend Adam, and he told me this…

Adam: My boss hired this guy today who is a “professional” web programer. I asked him what language…
Adam: He said, “whatever FrontPage makes.”
Daynah: LOL
Adam: I made a small PHP script that made about 4000 randomly colored boxes.
Adam: He was blown away.

heh, just too funny. I honestly think Frontpage is a thing of the past. I’ve only used it once or twice because my teacher insisted me too. But I did end up hard-coding everything in Notepad instead. hehe

Even my coworkers don’t use Frontpage anymore. They currently use our in-house content management system which is much more customizable. ;)

    We hired him as a research intern… Definitely not as a programmer!

    Try Editplus. It’s a great program.

    Oh god, no!! ;)

    I guess I forgot to mention that part. It would be terrible for my boss to hire another guy to compete with me. (I’m very proud of our website at the moment…)

    Well now that I’ve read the comments I suppose I should take down my post, you know, journalistic integrity. Oh wait, I don’t have any! LOL.

    Regardless, my point remains the same – Frontpage Sucks
