RE: [aus-dotnet] Perth startup wants programmers

[Chris Stoyles]

I’ll try to clarify a few of the reasons those interest areas were advertised, in retrospect it does come across a bit confusing.

We’re developing some flash interactivity for the site, like widgets, and so anyone who has had experience with flash would certainly be quite a valuable resource. The backend is developed in .NET (C#) running on Mono, and there are some concepts here that we’ve taken from the way ruby on rails behaves. So the assumption here is that someone who has experience in the model, view, controller approach to web development (even using rails) would “get it”. We develop using MonoDevelop on Linux, that’s where the whole open source software side of things comes into it.

While we don’t use ruby on rails, we feel that people who have taken the time to learn a dynamic language such as ruby would be the motivated and self educating kind of people with whom we would like to work and would fit in with, and contribute to our team.

I really appreciate the feedback on the ad.

Cheers
Chris

Hmmm I can’t say the job really appeals to me.  From your poster you are requesting knowledge and/or experience and/or interest in:

 

• Linux and open source software

• Flash programming

• C#, Ruby

 

I’m just hoping this isn’t all for the one system – to use such a combination of (generally) non-compatible technologies there must be something wrong with the architecture.  Unless of course I’m completely missing what the organisation is trying to do?

Hi everyone,

This is just a quick message to invite all of you to take a look at some opportunities we currently have here at Crabcat. If working for a Perth based start up sounds like your kind of gig then please read on.

Crabcat is currently developing a social networking service for group event organisation and collaboration called "Mogato". We need people who have an understanding of the MVC paradigm for web development and C#/.NET experience. If you have a passion for programming and would like to contribute to the development of a cutting edge web service and Perth's newest start up then please get in touch with me, my details are at the end of this message

We also have a poster ad available online for some of the universities around Perth at http://moga.to so feel free to download that and take a look.

Cheers
Chris Stoyles
