[thelist] Show of Hands - Your IT Staff Situation

[Jay Blanchard]

[snip]
Hey I was just curios about your IT situation? How many people do you
have staffed? How many temps? How many subcontractors? What are their
roles? What % are MS("X") certified or other certification? How many
have Bachelors? Masters? PHD's? I don't care about the size of your
company or # of employees, but if you need to justify your numbers then
please add that information. I'll start:

Me: Web/DBA, Masters

Other1: Sysadmin, Phone, everything else, MSCE

<tip type="Code Commenting for Web Developers">
No matter the scripting or mark-up language it is incredibly important that
web developers of all shapes and sizes comment their mark-up and code.
Comment frequently and verbosely.

In HTML and its variants the brackets <!-- --> will house comments. These
comments get transmitted with the HTTP request, so do not put information in
them that you don't want others to see.

Most of the scripting languages allow for C style commenting. you can start
a line or portion of a line with 2 slashes to indicate a comment. These are
perfect for one line comments. The scripting engines do not process comments
(or whitespace for that matter) so there is no reason not to use comments.
They typically do not affect script speed.
// this is a comment
$myVariable = 'foo'; 	//this variable is used for bar

Multi-line comments use the slash/asterisk combo in C style comments
/*
I have a lot of comments
that will go in this space
*/
