Every developer (PHP or not) out there has sat back in their favorite chair and thought about what else is out there. Well, Cal Evans is no different and he shares a tool he was linked to (by Terry Chay) that could help you find that "what's next" in your career.   I love Nashville, TN. Well, ok, I really like it. It's a great town but I'm getting a bit restless. The problem I face is that I never know what the environment for programmers will be in a given city before moving there. So when Terry Chay briefly mentioned indeed.com's salary search tool, it sparked my interest. If I, a PHP programmer, wanted to move to another city in the US, how would I fare salary wise? Since I don't want to list every city in the US, I've selected CNN/Money's Best Places to Live in America as my list of cities to compare.   Looking specifically for PHP-related jobs, he made the query, found the cities, ranked them and listed the average salary for the area. He also grabbed the cost of living for each location based on the closest large city and matched them up.   The result?   So it's agreed then, we'll all meet in Columbia, MD.   Check out the post and the lovely graph Cal has put together for more cities and their stats.

I just came home after working five hours overtime without pay. I'll likely do the same tomorrow, and the next day, which is often my routine. Why? Because with 240 students in my English classes, overtime is unavoidable to grade all the papers and tests.

One year ago, I stuck my resume up on Dice and Monster expecting to find a nice job as a system administrator. I wrote a decent resume, outlined my abilities and accomplishments and waited to see my cell phone light up with calls. Nothing happened. I went to both job boards and saw that I had a few hits. I seem to remember about four hits on each board for a total of eight hits. read more

(InfoWorld) - Believing current software testing approaches are antiquated, FedEx is working with the University of Memphis to take testing to its next steps. The package delivery company has commissioned the university to research a number of topics pertaining to the matter, through the FedEx Institute of Technology program at the school. The testing project, called the Systems Testing Excellence Program (STEP) could result in the largest testing organization in the country. Specifically, FedEx seeks methodologies to make testing processes shorter while ensuring that applications are high-quality. Current testing practices are basically the same as they were in the 1980s, said Dave Miller, vice president of information technology at FedEx. Code is written and then turned over to unit testing; testers look for defects and send that detail back to the development team, Miller said. Determinations are made on whether an issue actually is a defect or requirements shortcoming. "We sort of believe that testing as a discipline has probably not kept up pace," with other areas of IT, Miller said. FedEx's focus is on testing of large, complex, integrated software systems, on both mainframe and distributed systems. "We want to make sure we're in the forefront of the testing space," Miller said.Â  Research areas being studied include: * Risk-based testing process, featuring risk assessment * Multi-stage system testing model, for fault-tolerance and debugging-free software * Managing software testing in projects that involve offshore vendors * Engaging testers earlier in the lifecycle * Skill acquisition by testers * Gauging employee personality and cultural characteristics as they pertain to software test projects * Development of decision models for the best use of software testing resources * Systems Testing Expert System * Improving test benefits through the software development lifecycle * Knowledge transfer mechanism for skills acquisition in software testing * Applying a knowledge management approach to testing * Network Infrastructure Test Suite, to automate detection of network vulnerabilities University students who stand out during the project may even be hired by FedEx. The project has been under way since last summer. FedEx plans to hold a summit meeting in Memphis in May to discuss findings. Companies and organizations such as Borland, the Eclipse Foundation, Mercury Interactive, and Microsoft are expected to be invited, as will others from academia. Invitations also will be extended to Indian-based companies such as RelQ, which does software testing, Miller said. FedEx and the university also are developing a systems certification intended to arm graduates with proof that they are experts in the testing field.
