I can't program, my business has made it this far using out-sourced programmers and my own badly hacked up PHP code when needed but now I have a few projects in mind that I can't move forward on without a PHP programmer. I'd prefer to work with someone face to face, around my age (21) would be good and willing to work freelance. Any PHP guys/girls in or around Newcastle Upon Tyne interesting in meeting up for some lunch (on me) to have a chat and see if we can take these ideas further? Note: Just noticed my spelling mistake in the title ¬_¬ doh.
If you aren't a programmer in Newcastle but happen to know someone who is, please pass my details along.
Scriptlance is more outsource companies looking for work. Lots of indian/eastern european - not many newcastle natives I've tried gumtree to little success. Craigslist may be worth a shot though
