Job Offer - asp.net

[Hixxey]

Need a little advice on this job I have been offered. I've been offered a job at my old college maintaining their website.
Here is the email I get from them.

[FONT=&quot]"We have some irregular work (ie freelance rather than a position) to maintain the current website by making content rather than structural changes as and when things change (eg up-coming events, news items etc). I’ll email a little more detail when I have some more time, but our website is asp.net based and we are looking for[/FONT] [FONT=&quot]XHTML / CSS design changes. Sometimes we would be looking for a fairly rapid turn around (ie within 48 hours).[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]For connecting into our site from outside you would need to run OpenVPN. Once connected you would also need to run an RDP Remote Desktop session into our webserver. Are you ok with these two technologies?"[/FONT]


Anyone up on these technologies? Are they easy enough to use? Like I said I have some experience in creating websites ect... but I'm not to sure about this OpenVPN or asp.net.


Think I should accept it? I'm at University at the moment so it will really help to have the experience.

Err well do you have any XHTML/CSS experience? I can't tell you that

OpenVPN is easy

Tbh if you have to ask, you clearly aren't qualified enough.. sorry

Cannot help with ASP as my knowledge of that is ropey.

As for the other two yes easy to setup and get a connection going as you are simply a client mate. They should be able to step you through and provide auth details to remote in

I have plently of CSS/XHTML exp. but it was the OpenVPN I was worried about.
I'll look it up.

openvpn is just a program creating a tunnel from you to them, you wouldn't be using it to change the website itself, it's just for you to log into their webserver....

as for asp...have you coded php before? they're quite similar...although if you don't know what i'm on about i suggest you don't bother!

Thanks mate. I'll get up to scratch on the subjects

If you do not know about ASP.net then I wouldn't entertain taking the job, if they have half a clue they would get rid of you asap anyway.

Sorry if that sounds harsh.

If your making content rather than structural changes then all you need to know is the XHTML and CSS.

I imagine they are using a ASP based content management system.

OpenVPN is probably something they can show you and you can learn very quickly how to use.
