Jojo gets feedback from the Developer Community by Jem Seow The Yahoo! Philippines Developers’ Night was held last Wednesday, August 14, in TGI Friday’s in Glorietta 3, where Yahoo! gave an overview of the Yahoo! Developer Network and discussed the future of the web development scene in the Philippines with the developers who attended the networking session. There was food, drinks, swag, and a healthy flow of techie conversations.

Angela Sabas sharing with RP developers on the the Yahoo! Developer Network by Jem Seow As the one giving the YDN overview, I was worried about possible low turnout due to the heavy rains prior and during the early part of the event–but in the end, the place was packed! I met many local developers, shared Yahoo! details and trivia, and learned from them as well. Jojo Anonuevo, our General Manager for Yahoo! Philippines, also gave an overview and is inviting Pinoy developers to apply for a chance to go to the Yahoo! HQ in Sunnyvale, California and represent the community. Give it a shot–applications are due 5:00PM on August 22.

Sa uulitin! :)

The Survey for People Who Make Websites

July 30, 2008 · Comments 

Last year, A List Apart released a web design survey, focusing on finding out common job titles, salaries, and work situations in the web industry. Yesterday, they launched another survey, targeting people who make websites explicitly. They include in this category “all designers, developers, information architects, project managers, writers, editors, [and] marketers,” and I suppose anyone else who is in on creating websites, be it the backend, frontend, or content portion of it.

This year’s survey aims to correct mistakes in the one made last year:

This year’s survey corrects many of last year’s mistakes, with more detailed and numerous questions for freelance contractors and owners of (or partners in) small web businesses. There are also better international categories, and many other improvements recommended by those who took the survey last year.

Have you taken it already?
