After three interviews, I was giving a job offer with GrantStream that I gratefully accepted.
By the third interview, the candidates were narrowed down to an experiences PHP developer and myself, a new graduate with mostly a MS .NET background and zero PHP experience. Originally, GrantStream only intended to hire one web developer, but they saw enough potential in me that they decided to hire both the experienced developer and myself.
The first thing I did after receiving the job offer was purchase 'Sam's Teach Yourself PHP, MySQL, and Apache in 24 hours'. The second thing I did was edit my grub.conf to default to FedoraCore 4 instead of XP Pro. I've got a lot to learn in the two short weeks before my start date!
I am a bit saddened that I have to give up .NET for PHP. I do still plan to attain my Microsoft Certified Professional Developer cert, but it may take me a bit longer to prepare seeing as I'll be coding PHP by day and C# by night.
