Hasin Hayder has started up a new project that he's documented in a new blog entry - the creation of a new jobs website in PHP.   I was involved in making a job site few days ago. During the development, I have studied how easily anyone can develop a job site using PHP (language independent in true sense) . So I decide to write a blog post about my experience and here it goes. But note that this article is not about scaling or balancing the load on your site during heavy traffic, heh heh.   He comments on the startup process surrounding this type of site and makes suggestions about something to consider for your careers site - pulling job content from other sites in two ways - screen scraping and using the job search APIs out there.

On the TechToolBlog, there's an interesting little post where Tim Boland has taken three of the major web programming languages - PHP, ASP.NET and Ruby - and compared the number of job listings for each in three different places and on three different sites.   Here is a 30 minute research into the jobs out there for RoR compared to Asp.Net & PHP. I searched for the phrases "Ruby on Rails", "PHP", "ASP.NET" and radius of 100 miles from the zip code. There is no doubt some overlap of job posting but this is pretty clear indication of where things are.   The three locations he picked were Cincinnati Ohio (his hometown), New York City and San Francisco and the three sites were Monster.com, Career Builder and Hot Jobs. Overall, the postings varied from place to place - ASP.NET cam out on top in Ohio, ASP.NET in New York and PHP over in San Francisco.
