What Phandroid needs is a new, smarter userbase :) please Rob.
i don’t know any of those things, but i’ll break anything to get my hands on some new droids. :)
good luck with your search!
That is an easy gig for me; I´ve worked extensively with PHP, I am comfortable with PHP frameworks, good with Javascript and Ajax, hands on with most SQL based databases, Worked with wordpress, joomla and drupal………..
The only snag here is that I live somewhere in Africa.
Hope you find your man!!
What you guys need is a “database connection error specialist”
@Jo – With all the database connection error they have been having that should be explain itself. ;) However it most likely is due to the amount of hits the database gets. So there is a need to allow for more connections between database and website.
The date says may 17th…
Almost 10 year PHP guru here…but I’d need to work remotely from Texas lol.
I’m accepting applications from people EVERYWHERE. Location near Baltimore is a perk, but not a requirement, so don’t let that discourage you.
7 years of PHP development and web design experience here, and live right outside Baltimore! I would love to work with you guys! Email sent!
Damn. I love Android AND I’m qualified with 10 years of coding experience – too bad I live up in Canada :) Does my newest website count as brownie points? :D

I can do some of those things but I don’t even have half the experience. I got a lot of work to do.
Heck no. It would be fun, for sure, but for how long
?
I don’t have faith in this being a lucrative long term career move.
