ALIA seeks web programmer (php/MySQL)
ALIA is looking for a professional php/MySQL programmer to complete the updates to our web site. Over the last year or so we have had some excellent part-time voluntary help from members Jason James and Zac Shenker, who have fitted in some programming around all of their other commitments. Thanks to the generosity of LSC Lighting Systems, we now have some funding to hire a programmer who can dedicate their time to the project.
The database design is complete and many of the HTML output screens have been designed. We are seeking a skilled programmer (location unimportant) to work via email and phone with the project coordinator Andy Ciddor (in Hobart), to code the MySQL queries and populate the pages. The project consists of two sections:
* a products and brands system that provides detailed information on hire, service, sales and spare parts availability throughout Australasia
* automation of the ALIA news pages
Contact Andy Ciddor aciddor@alia.com.au or 03 6229 1662 or Skype: andy_ciddor
