Normally I wouldn’t put this kind of a post on my site but I am finding myself running into a bit of a time crunch with a personal project of mine.  I am in need of a) a mentor or teacher and b) some good ol’ fashioned working, readable code.

Here’s the scoop.  I need someone who has had experience working with PHP, MySQL and some sort of ORM framework.  Specifically I need someone to teach me about the proper way of getting those 3 things working properly (e.g. integration in my current code base).  Then I will try to get them to work with my AMFPHP/Flex RIA.  However I may need some assistance in this as well.

Yes, I could spend hours researching this (which I have invested many hours doing so).  But I know my limits when it comes to self-exploration and the opportunity costs in doing so are too high.  Time is my most precious commodity.   So are you interested?   If so then read on.   I don’t really care if you have 10+ years in the field or some high school kid, just so long as you know your stuff.  All you need is to meet the following requirements:

  • proficient in PHP & MySQL w/ knowledge of a ORM technology
  • located in the USA (I don’t really want to deal with huge time differences)
  • speak English proficiently
  • the ability to articulate your points well so that a noob can understand them
  • have a paypal account (I don’t want to screw around with cash, check , etc.)
  • have skype (its free for skype to skype calls and a free download) or some IM client
  • have maybe 4-8 hours to do this to start

If you meet the requirements send an email (no comments on the blog please) to jwopitz (at) gmail (dot) com with the following information:

  • location in the US
  • code samples for PHP (remember a php noob is reading this, but a developer too)
  • skype and IM information
  • price per hour for your help

I look forward to hearing from you.
