Hi, I have programmed for years in a couple of languages (providex and bbx) now I want to work on PHP, Have you any suggestions on how to find a job as PHP programmer? Thank you in advance

Thanks!

ASP.NET revolutionized Web application development. The platform handles many of the complexities of creating Web applications. Now ASP.NET AJAX takes the development platform even further. The lines between rich client applications and traditionally less interactive browser–based applications are being further blurred with the use of this technology. The ASP.NET AJAX Library brings object–oriented programming to JavaScript development for modern browsers, and the ASP.NET AJAX Extensions makes it easy to write rich Web applications that communicate with the Web server asynchronously.

Or maybe you haven′t made up your mind yet and want to learn both languages? Either way, you′ll like this book because all code examples (more…)
