Answer: Well, there are hundreds of websites out there that can offer you both part time jobs as well as freelance jobs. The one I most recommend if you want a consistent part time job (or fairly consistent) and which pays by the hour is Odesk (http://www.odesk.com). Another option would be looking through rentacoder (http://www.rentacoder.com), which has numerous freelance jobs you can look into. Both these sites are free to register, however they do take commissions on the amount you earn. However looking at the alternative, this might be a much better place to start with.

Question: What do I need to learn to be a top notch Web Developer? I'm very interested in the web development field and I've been researching HTML, DHTML, XHTML, XML, ASP, CSS and some other technologies but I'm not sure which are the best for when I graduate college. My question, to clarify, is what technologies should I really beef up in order to be marketable as an atleast Junior Web Developer upon graduation? I just have one problem, my school does not have a web development track so I am tacking the programming track and learning COBOL, Java, C++ and some VB... Thanks for any suggestions! OH, and as I side note, I'm very interested in Java techs like JSP and such so I may want to emphasize those skills.

Answer: My suggestion is that you learn at least one web programming language. (ASP/ColdFusion/PHP,etc.), Learn how yo connect your pages to databases such as Access or SQL, learn how to use javascript for menu building and client-side error checking, and get in with a decent web designer. You will also want to be familiar with CSS and how to manage and edit domain name registrars. You should also know how Flash works and how to integrate. To be honest with you, NOTHING takes the place of real world experience but at least being familiar with these things will get you foot in the door a s JR. web guy. Good Luck.

Question: How do I become a professional web developer? I have a lot of the necessary skills - xhtml, jsp, css, javascript etc., but I'm not confident enough to make a whole professional website from scratch? Could you point me to some resources to get me started? I've used frontpage before, but what would be the best tool to help me with creating a website? Also, any suggestions on good hosting? Thanks!

Answer: Firstly I'd recommend converting your JSP skills into PHP or ASP. They are vastly more popular, and also the development environments are way easier to setup than a JSP interpreter. Also, get yourself some SQL skills, you'll need it for database interaction. What you need to do is get yourself a project: think of some website you'd like to setup for yourself, or someone you know, or even a local small business looking for an amateur to build or maintain a simple page. Use this project to apply your coding skills to the real world. Work on functionality first, and visual design can come later. Also don't be too worried if you suck at graphic design, as long as you know the basic principles and some simple image manipulation skills, it doesn't matter so much,. You can always get someone else to do the general look and feel for you, and code according to that. And at all costs, avoid FrontPage and Dreamweaver and other WYSIWYG edtiors. They are no use to real developers. Use them and no one will ever take you seriously. Code your pages in a programmer's text editor. I usually recommend PSPad, it's free and extremely handy. But you could also use EditPlus, Notepad++ , whatever takes your fancy. As for your question on hosting - why do you want a web host? Usually you need to figure out what your project requires, then find out what hosts support those requirements. Unless you're planning on having thousands of visitors immediately, host your own site. All it requires is Apache, an internet connection, and a computer that's kept on when you want the site to run. It's free, and is perfectly fine for a personal development environment. And most of the time, any companies you work for will already have their own hosting account anyway. I'd be surprised if you had to worry about hosting at all. I'm a professional developer, and have never once paid for web hosting or a domain name.

Question: Is it possible to recode a web application programmed in asp.net into JSP? Is it possible to recode a web application programmed in asp.net into JSP? if so, is there a software that helps to recode such application so it could be easier the job of the developer?

Answer: Yes, just don't take it straight across. Look at the strengths of asp.net and those of Java and modify those sections that need to be recoded. I don't know of any applications to convert asp.net to Java. I'm sure Sun would love that type of software to exist. Have you poked around java.com?

Question: Are Dynamic jsp pages search engine compatible? iF not what to do? How to convert to HTML with meta tag? I am a web developer and I use j2ee technology. But the pages are all dynamic. Unless people request them specifically, they don't get built. I am guessing that the search engine will not pick it up. So, what is the most widely used method of making these search enginer friendly pages? Do developers have a process to build these interactive pages into static HTML pages? If they do, is there a good tool to use? thanks

Answer: JSP (JavaServer Pages) is processed on the server, so the client has no idea that there were JSP scripts in it once it has been returned from the server. The search engine spiders are no different, the only thing they are looking through is the HTML and, more importantly, the content.

Question: how do I setup an environment to test jsp web application? I know how setup asp and php environment but not jsp how do I accomplish and is there some web developer like the visual studio to test jsp applications?

Answer: I would download XAMPP, its a free program for windows or linux. It has Apache, PHP, mysql, etc all built in. So you could test your applications locally. Kevin
