Penn Medicine - Philadelphia, PA (ONSITE)

Associate Web Developer, Web Developer, Senior Web Developer

We’re looking for web developers of all skill-levels at Penn Medicine.

All of our new applications are being built in Ruby on Rails, but we’ve got over a decade of legacy PHP code so you’d be spending time in both environments. We work agilely and in small teams (~3 developers and 1 product owner per team) organized loosely around different themes (e.g., medical school admissions, faculty data, research data).

We’ve got a bit more about the open positions on our website (https://www.med.upenn.edu/pmacs/jobs.html), but I’m happy to chat (barendt@mail.med.upenn.edu) if you’ve got questions or would like to know more.

What alternatives are people using for Evernote that support more than just text?

The main draw Evernote has for me is the ability to attach an arbitrary number of files to a note, add some additional text or a useful title, and then search on those notes across iOS and OS X devices. I've been increasingly frustrated by how buggy and complicated Evernote has gotten so I'd be happy to try alternatives that might be out there.

I use OneNote, it seems to be pretty decent. Mostly I use it for bookmarking web pages and writing quick notes across devices. I'm not in the Apple club, but I have heard that it has decent clients for OSX, and the web interface in Office365 is not bad.

Really minor nitpick - I think Matz claimed that about 30% of his prior RubyConf predictions were false, so about 70% of his prior RubyConf ideas eventually did make it to production.

From 3 features he presented (Concurency, JIT, Soft Typing) I would put 5 $ on JIT, rest is pretty much against his philosophy.

I'm using it on some older hardware (2011 MacBook Pro) and it's been working just fine for me. It's maybe a bit more sluggish than Mountain Lion on the same hardware, but the difference is small enough that that might just be in my head.

Is there another PHP framework you would recommend? I'm about to start looking at Symfony as a replacement for our aging, home-grown PHP framework. I'm partial to Django, but since PHP is a requirement I could use thoughts on PHP alternatives.

Kohana Framework. It's completely OOP, 5.2+, and non-magical.

The comments in this thread seem to be referring to Symfony 1. Symfony2 is completely different.

If PHP is a requirement, you should really check it out.

Yii has borrowed a lot from Rails, and slightly improved AR with RelationalActiveRecord.

Of course, it's still PHP, with all of the said inconsistencies.

For smaller projects CodeIgniter is great. It's simple to learn and use, and has excellent documentation (better than Kohana's).

i prefer CodeIgniter, myself, when doing PHP development. i like it because it doesn't force you into anything, but if you want to use its helpful features, you can.

Also examine Kohana - originally an offshoot of CodeIgniter, the 3.1 branch is an entirely different animal.

Kohana is more of a "toolkit" kind of framework, where most of the components only rely on a few base classes, but are otherwise surprisingly decoupled.
