FREE PHP CUSTOM PROGRAMMING?????
Pardon me I gotta let off some steam here...
Just what the IS industry needs - another twit giving away shit because they are only learning how to program and have no creative juices to create anything on their own and market it. Fucking Christ! No fucking wonder that graphic designers pull more bank consistently than the people that actually make websites work. Don't get me wrong, they DESERVE the coin they charge, it's just that everyone thinks programmers are less valuable.
Oh wait! Barry Hilton gives away custom design work doesn't he? And WyldeDesigns won the Designer of the Year award this year for giving away free work, right? NOT!!!
Every punk ass wannabe hack on the planet thinks they are a programmer, or designer. YOU'RE WRONG!
Run off now to guru.com or elance.com and peddle your $5/page "complete ecommerce" packages. Based upon your initial post I'm guessing you probably just started trying to code about 3 months ago and figure you can make some quick coin in the Adult industry. Get a clue. I've been programming professionally since 1989 (for the DOD and Fortune 100 Companies) and on an amateur status since 1978.
There are a ton of us in this industry that have the same caliber of credentials. Please do not insult the skills that we have built over years of experience by offering "free programming" for business applications - in the hopes that you garner some "later business".
You want to learn as you go? Wanna take on small jobs while doing so to build up your portfolio? Great. But CHARGE people for that service. This is a business, not a playground.
Granted, I will give away tidbits of code on occasion - things that are common yet sometimes hard to find (e.g. stopping hotlinking of video) - but CUSTOM scripting/programming??? NEVER.
