Interview with Digg.com's Web Developer Kurt Wilms

[Ascendancy]

I found this sick interview with a web developer from Digg.com. I have heard they program in PHP with MySQL, which is very common and good skills to have. If you're interested in web development, definitely check out the interview!

The interview was smooth, but the point he makes about transferable skills just doesn't hold water for some cases. Hence, if one actually plans to learn how Comp. Sci actually works, they should first study a language that doesn't retard functionality, design and just about every import element for the sake of "practicality".
