Only the skilled can judge the skillfulness, but that is not the same as judging the value of the result.

Platform / Environment |
I work with teams that use a range of programming development platforms: ASP, JSP, DotNet, JSF, PHP, C+Plus, etc. I don't include these in my list of skills because I don't actually produce this code. Nor is that my job. What I do is to produce User Interface and Information Architecture collateral that is readily usable by developers who are skilled in producing code for each of these platforms. I have technical knowledge that is appropriate to my role. |
