You need another option of "I don't use Linked Data".

Hi All,

I need to find a skilled PHP dev, UK based, with long term availability,
 in the short term to join me on a project and ultimately be prepared to
take over the project and "own" it. Remote contract work w/ occasional
meetings on site.

In all honesty, the client and the project is the best I've ever had,
rates are fantastic, tech stack is great and you get the chance to work
with every new technology you want + implement for a gracious client.

You will need to be an experienced developer with numerous apps under
your belt, be willing to learn (a lot) and, well here's the skills list:

Must already have:
 PHP 5 OO & knowledge of design patterns + software architecture
 Linux server management (apache/ubuntu/ldap)
 SVN, a good IDE, Unit Testing w/ PHPUnit, Coding Standards, PHPDoc
 (X)HTML / CSS / HTML5
 Javascript + JQuery

Will need but can teach:
 RDF / Linked Data
 SPARQL (+Extensions)
 Virtuoso 5/6
 ARC2
 OWL (/2)

Nice to have:
 Familiarity with:
    Kohana and Zend Frameworks
    REST and WebDav, HTTP/1.1 Protocol
    Spatial / GEO data
    Continuous Integration and phpUnderControl
    Google Earth Plugin
    n-tier applications & EAV/CR
    OpenID / OpenAuth etc


As a bonus you also get to know that the work you do has positive
impacts on real people in many of the worlds poorest nations :)

Do email me; off-list; on the above address or nat...@webr3.org if
you're interested.

Many Regards,

Nathan

I'm looking for a report generator which will be used to create

Has anyone had experience with report generators that meet these
criteria? What would you recommend; what would you stay away from?

Try Source Forge.....

Al: I appreciate your effort to be helpful, but if you review my
original post, you'll find that the question you answered is not the
one I asked.

I hope that others who have used one or more report generators will
share their thoughts.

I like BIRT, and pentaho is nice to. In our office we rolled our own. The chief issue with any report gen tool is that in most cases the user needs to understand the basics of SQL in order to be able to create meaningful reports. That is where most of our support time goes for the tool. It's hard to train clients to do anything beyond simple 1 table reports.

Our tool uses mutli select boxes to choose tables and fields, which is ok if you know SQL and what the fields do. BIRT uses a java interface with drag and drop so from a user perspective it's somewhat easier to do, but you need to have your db set up so that the tool can understand the relationships between the tables.

I would suggest that you start with BIRT and then add a clause to the support contracts that each report that you need to be involved in will cost $50 or so to cover your time when the tool gets too complicated for the users. Perhaps a series of common canned reports could also be included to help make the sale.

Hi all, 
 
I'm installing 5.3.1 on my Windows Server with IIS6.
 
Should I choose VC9 x86 Thread Safe or "non-thread safe" ?
 
What is the difference?
 
Thanks!
