Get off Vent and start using TS3

Hehe , we should do that indeed.

I learned Pawn in about four hours, time says very little about one's capability to do something.

Agreed, shouldn't have used that as an argument.

Ask him to emphasise on his PHP knowledge.

[10:48:04] <TransporterX> PHP: I've been coding in it for 5 years or so... In the last couple years, I got more "hardcore" into it, specifically going into complex OOP structures, but without going into the whole "everything must be an object" mode like most OOP coders the first time. I have built numerous complex websites, and I am currently working on my own CMS.
[10:48:57] <TransporterX> Note: I work on/run a security site, specifically in regards to web based security, and I know specifically how to exploit such security holes, as well as secure sites from said types of security holes.

HTML and CSS aren't programming languages, and I wouldn't care about Perl because "@#)($*@#($*!)!``1" is valid syntax. Furthermore, "nasm" isn't a language, it's a program that can be used to check out Assembly code.

Agreed.

Define everyone. A Vent server with you and seven random users is far less representative than a Vent server with Fireburn, Wesley, Pugwipe, MrBondt and Jay on it.

True, I failed there. TEF, Joe, Maka, etc talked to him, and he's a nice guy to work with (he helped me a lot with my PHP failbot).

- The function doesn't have to be defined as a public function.

True.

- What is "ssoc"? Function names should be clear!

According to him, it means 'spawn string of cars', he just didn't want to type it, since he was just testing around.

- Variable naming is vague, wtf is "ia"?

Same thingy as above I guess, he wanted to save time typing for a function that was for testing anyway.

- Spacing is terrible, way too many statements on a single line, there barely are any spaces in the if() statement. Combined with the lack of proper variable naming it's hard to understand what this actually does.
- "lVehicles", why prefix this with an "l"? Lollection?

No idea.

It's unclear, while he seems to know what he's doing he must understand that documentation is important. Readability and maintainability is important.

[10:50:45] <TransporterX> The only thing I really lack in regards to programming/scripting is working in groups... Almost all of my code has been done in a solo style mode, where documentation and "cleanliness" was never an issue (as it was just me). I would love to be involved with a group of people that have been coding together for awhile to work on those types of skills...
[10:51:00] <TransporterX> As I am currently looking for a job in this exact type of set up, it would be nice to list it as "experienced" as well.
