Work: September 2007 Archives

In the world of computers there tend to those persons who are very specialized at one little thing and nothing else.  They couldn't even begin to tell you the difference between html, which provides a means of describing the structure of text, and php, which is a reflective programming language originally designed for producting dynamic web pages.

I AM NOT ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE!!!  Please excuse my yelling.

This has happened before and I am sure it will happen again.  I get dragged into a project that involves a piece of technology which I am not permitted to have access to because it is sensitive.  Fine.  I don't want access to the sensitive information and I really don't care for the project either.

But when you imply that I don't know how to keep information 'secure' then you have gone too far.

Just to clarify, I am a Webmaster.  To me, a webmaster is responsible for everything that is on the web.  That means the webmaster is responsible for knowing how to setup and manage the webserver (apache, php, mysql, etc.).  The webmaster is capable of (although maybe not a guru) developing graphics that work including knowledge of colors and how they impact the web.  The webmaster should also be capable of developing in a number of different web languages including perl, php, xhtml, and javascript without using Dreamweaver or Frontpage or (Insert-Name-Of-WYSIWYG-Editor-Here).

And Lotus Notes is not web design.
