We're on the look out for a talented PHP developer who is confident in HTML, CSS, PHP, MySQL, JavaScript and jQuery and preferably also has experience with Photoshop.
Codeworks is a small software development company who specialise in creating organisation systems for businesses through web applications, this is your chance to join a fun vibrant team of developers with a company that is progressing fast.
Your role would include the development of tools within systems we've already created and creating new ones from a specification. You'll also be expected to help answer office calls, support clients with problems and get involved with new client projects.
Do not apply if you are not confident in PHP as this is vital to the role.

In short, no. The cookie EU law that was set to start on May 26th 2011 has been deferred for an extra year because many companies are not ready to implement the measures required to inform users visiting their website. Which i have to admit, includes us. This new law requires a user's consent before using cookies. (not the edible crumbly kind)
Cookies are text files stored on your computer while your browsing the internet, they store snippets of information. An example could be a welcome message when you first visit a site, after you close it a cookie is stored so that you don't have to keep clicking the x to remove it every time you re-visit the site. For more information about cookies click here.
The changes are demanded by the European e-Privacy directive.
The section of the directive dealing with cookies was drawn up in an attempt to protect privacy and, in particular, limit how much use could be made of behavioural advertising. This form of marketing involves people being tracked across websites, with their behaviour used to create a profile that dictates the type of adverts they see.
The directive demands that users be fully informed about the information being stored in cookies and told why they see particular adverts. However, the directive is likely to have an impact on the more general use of cookies that remember login details and enable people to speed up their use of sites they visit regularly.
It could mean that once this new law does come into effect, users see many more pop-up windows and dialogue boxes asking them to let sites gather data. It just depends how each company decides how to tackle the issue. I found a really good example of how companies could approach this task on the new Alpha UK Government Website.
For now though, we have another year to come up with solutions that comply with the law but don't make it annoying for the user, personally i believe a browser approach would be a much better way forward as i can guarantee even after another year a lot of companies still won't be ready.
We haven't had an opportunity to talk much about our sponsorship of the codeworks westend ladies that started November last year, we're busy putting the final touches to their dedicated area on our website but we couldn't let the opportunity pass to tell you about the great work some of the team are doing to collect money for charity.
Our ladies from the codeworks Westend Netball Club braved the freezing cold waters at Whitmore Bay to take part in the recent ‘Dip with a Nip’ - to raise money for CLIC Sargent.
Each person registered had to pay £5 and raise at least £50 each - seven of the team took part and raised a fantastic total of £1,500 between them.
Well done girls!
I'm very exhausted, proud to present to you our brand new website! With tons more content, updates, news, tutorials (to come), and extensive portfolio! It's finally a place we can show off exactly what we do and how we do it!
We still have a lot of fans out there for our old design and interactive office so we wanted to make sure it stayed with the site! So if you're missing a bit of monkey madness head over to the homepage and launch the interactive office!
It's been a few months in the making, we wanted to extend upon our flash interactive office from the last design but make it to available to everyone so we delved into jQuery animation and while working with one many great designers we made animation available to the masses, without flash! Go on, try it on your mobile, or your ipad! It's a taster of whats to come inside our great software for 2011.
Thanks for visiting, take a good look around and enjoy the hard work we've spent putting all of this together! Don't forget to become a fan on facebook and follow our twitter as there are definitely more updates to come!
