What’s It All About
Creating dynamic web applications using tools like AJAX, Javascript, and Web Standards is something you’re willing to do for fun, but it’s even better when you can get someone to pay you. You love Web 2.0 applications and have a million ideas on how to create dynamic websites for MMOs. The best part of web development is the rapid turnaround: you can get new features deployed quickly and see how people like it within hours. You keep this fact in mind as you develop tools for our game designers, allowing them to decipher what’s happening in the game, and for the rest of the team by providing them access to the collected data and a means to sort it into useful categories.
A Typical Day
The designers are always trying to keep abreast of balance issues among the character classes, so you’ve developed a web-based design tool that helps them view the death rates among the classes. You modify the UI you created originally to compare level progression speed between different classes and races, so the designers should be able to easily draw the information the need from the database. If you can sync up the player-driven economy database, you’ll have a fully integrated database structure
anyone at the company can use. It’s a challenge, but that’s why you come to work every day.
The database and server logs you check every afternoon seem to be running smoothly. You run a few tests and spot checks to confirm your program results are accurate, and meet with the senior cluster engineer to make sure his newest database elements are fully integrated with the web-based UI. If you incorporate the latest round of interface and bug feedback from the designers and other tool users on the team you’ll have had a pretty full and productive day.
Who You Work With the Most
Since you’re developing web-based tools, you need to work closely with the lead web designer. The director of technology and the clustering database engineer need to know what you’re doing, too, as once they’ve developed new technology it’s up to you to improve upon it and investigate new potential uses for the engine. You’re always
working to improve the UI and display for the database, so you have to communicate regularly with other team members and get their feedback. It isn’t up to them to learn
your way of accessing the database; it’s up to you to develop tools that help them get the information they need.
What You’ve Done Before

- 3+ years developing in Linux/Apache environments
- 1+ years in CSS driven, hand-coded HTML
