First Week as Contracting Scum
I've just completed my first week as Contracting Scum, in one way it's a step down from what I have been doing of late, but in another it's actually a step forward.
I'm doing stuff that I haven't done for years, or have relied on others to do over the years, like cutting up a PSD and creating the HTML and CSS. So if your in the luxury of having a Graphic designer / Front End Dev team that currently does this for you. Make sure you touch base with them for the current best practice on how to do this.
Having done a quick read up it all come flooding back, so things you learn will stay with you for years.
On the plus side, I'm sort of working for myself which gives me the freedom to choose which jobs I like the sound of and the leave the ones I don't. The contract market over the last few weeks seems to have picked up which is a big plus for me; and the ColdFusion community as a whole I'd say.
So my first impression of the my first week, is I like it so far, but that could just be the group of guys I'm working with at the moment, and I might not like it when the work dries up ;) Which right now doesn't seem so.
So I'll give another update on my feelings as Contracting Scum at the end of my first month.
