"Here’s an idea of pricing for you. I work on projects based on complexity. If you have 100 pages with simple text and images on it, the task is not complex. Just time consuming. So I consider that a complexity of 1, times 100 times. So, complexity is 100. If you have one page with one complex interactive form, with a calculator, that grabs prices from out there on The Web, then it’s a one page design, but complexity of that one page is way high, depending on all of the features on it. Calculator, 2 points. Search 3 points. Connecting to databases and APIs, 5 points. You get the idea. Both projects can be about 100 points. One more complex than the other, and one more pages than the other. And now for the prices: $125 – $250 per point. That’s it. Why the wide range? Depends on a lot of things. But, on average, I can do about 39 points in two weeks. Considering the overhead, taxes, etc, that comes to about $60-$120 per hour."

  "Notice that we added a DOCTYPE to tell browsers what kind of document we have. We picked 4.01 Transitional because of its flexibility to allow deprecated elements, like <font>."

    http://okmaya.com/clean-php/clean-php-step-6/ http://okmaya.com/clean-php/clean-php-step-6/ If you know PHP, you know that you shouldn't be doing it like that. He sounds like a novice. There's nothing wrong with that, but when looking at that kind of thing I would take an opinions as a grain of salt

      It doesn't really matter what the language is, SQL injection vulnerabilities are serious in any language. A competent web developer understands that -- especially a "Programmer Extraordinaire".

        Yeah, let's nitpick everything this guy has written. Way to ad hominem him!

        No that would be if I had pointed out a flaw in his personality. There's nothing wrong with what I just said

  Actually the parts I like best were the post about how : "Adding frameworks and shortcuts to your development will only make you hurt later on." Then in another post he has written his own framework.
