I have a kind-of off topic rookie question:

most programmers have a web portfolio right? -- a URI to put on their
resume that has examples of their work. what do employers expect to see if
they ask for such an example? a working web app? links to multiple working
web apps? actual code?

I am dying to break into PHP/MySQL programming and have gotten a nibble from
an employer who is asking for such a URI. I don't have any professional
programming experience, but have several small projects that I would like an
interested employer to see. what is the best way to present it/them? just
a link to one of my finished projects? can an experienced programmer get a
strong enough sense of how I code by looking at the end result (probably a
dumb question)?

thanks,
matt

Actual code I suspect - a recent code snippet (make sure you're not
breaking any current work agreements etc - ie send in something you've
written for yourself, not for your current job).

No. My design skills are absolutely horrible but my php skills are
reasonably decent ;)

Send those urls as well (it can't hurt) but I think they would be more
interested in the actual code.

well the style of your code make how good you are...
but remember.. if you work alone.. that's no problem.. the problem is when u
work on a team

my suggestion was.. to improve your skill.. U have to be complained and meet
problem during your programing. more problem will improve your prog skill.
but don't stress because of it
