I am always confused that when i read the post in here, there are always something i don't understand and there are so much to learn. So, the question is, hows everybody learns to be a good coder for libraries, what s the secret and what kind of technology are most important to learn? Find problems that interest you and go about trying to solve them. Ideally the problems should be of interest to the person who does your annual evaluation. This means the most important technology (sic) to learn is one that interests you and this is hardly EVER static. I would argue that a decade ago I could get by with knowledge of C. I think development today requires basic knowledge of more languages. cheers, ./fxk thanks Wayne

Re: [CODE4LIB] what's friendlier less powerful than phpMyAdmin?
Ken, I am not sure if this was suggested. I used this Perl project a while back http://sourceforge.net/projects/mysitemaker/?abmode=1 It seems to meet all your needs. regards, ./fxk
Re: [CODE4LIB] e-journal publishing software

Currently, we were looking at Open Journal Systems (OJS) from York University, and I'd like to hear if others have had experiences with either OJS or any other equivalent means of e-journal publication. Anything specific you are asking? Looking for? We have installed OJS successfully. We tested it in the library to make sure it behaved predictably then passed it on to our campus IT because the Journal Publishing was going to be a University rather than a Library Project. It is fairly straight forward and most of the problems we had with it were not with the software but administrative. http://journals.uic.edu Also, have any of you integrated these into existing infrastructures such as your institutional repositories? I listened to a BePress Sales pitch. Looked very *shiny* and combines both of these quite nicely. ./fxk
