ASP.NET developer categories

ASP.NET developer categories
 
madskristensen.net -- In the past 6 months I’ve been involved in hiring a lot of ASP.NET developers. It was very interesting to learn just how different skill sets ASP.NET developers have. It also made it more and more clear that every developer we talked to would fit into one of three categories: The web developer The developer who build websites The ASP.NET super hero Before looking deeper into the different categories I recommend you too check out how I define the ASP.NET framework  The developer categories With the ASP.NET definition in place it is now easier to look at the different categories of ASP.NET developers we have interviewed.

They know everything about browser compatibility, JavaScript, CSS and the request life cycle. Also, they are usually not that hardcore in C# because they have mostly worked with client technologies. They are also more agnostic to the server-side platform and can work on PHP and RoR projects just as efficiently. The web developer is also the kind of guy who thinks about new web technologies such as microformats and OpenID. This guy lives and breathes web. The developer who builds websites This is by far the biggest category. We’ve interviewed many developers who have worked with ASP.NET since it was first released.

Their knowledge of the .NET framework, BCL and C# is immense, but they don’t qualify as web developers. They don’t live and breathe web, but their skills are just as needed in an ASP.NET project.
