Website Developer Bootcamp is for preparing CNM Website Developers.

We at CNMCyber need a few websites starting with cnmcyber.com. That is why we are looking for website developers. What do you feel like you need to know in order to develop our websites?

hello, i think the first think is to know what a website is and what skills are needed to create one.
A website is a collection of webpages. About the skills, I asked first.
Having a comprehensive job description for the website developer position is a good first step in my opinion.
Gary created the CNM Website Developer wikipage for that purpose.
For me it's how to create the web pages
Gary can create a webpage in any plain-text editor. Can Gary be considered as a website developer?
I think we should have some lections, some theory about each deliverable, I mean, how to create (a) Public contents, (b) what is SEO and how to work with it; how to create: (c) Website designs, (d) WWW records and (e) System-based websites.
I created the website project wikipage for that purpose. Is that enough?
CNM Website Developer will work with Wordpress?
Yes, and not only. Gary considered 2-3 more COTS packages to utilize.
What other programs/applications should a developer be able to work with? If one developer has to work on different projects, I ask about all projects.
If the question is about:
  • CMSes other than WordPress, Gary would take a look at Ghost, which is written with NodeJS, and, possibly, Grav, which is really lightweight. Our production instance of WordPress would be CNM Page, but we need to use something simpler for the landing at cnmcyber.com. Historically, we used Drupal, but it doesn't look like the best for cnmcyber.com landing since it is more like WordPress than a lightweight system.
  • Website builders, the team will surely use something for WordPress. Historically, we used Elementor; however, we can explore WordPress Gutenberg since it has grown significantly in recent years.
  • Tools to develop videos, images, anything else -- I am open to your ideas.
You are also welcome to review the "Tools" section on CNM Website Developer. I don't have strong opinions about anything else.
Who is a Website Developer?
Gary would define a "website" developer" as anyone who develops websites. However, I have never heard about anyone who would hold such a position in the real workplace. I don't feel like this occupation is real. My goal is to give some development experience to our learners. If you remember, Kevin, we initially wanted to hire training developers. A website developer sounds cooler to me!
Who is a CNM Website Developer? What roles does a CNM Website Developer play in CNM Website Development?
Have you found the CNM Website Developer wikipage? That page represents Gary's vision for that role. You, Kevin, checked it and said that the description is okay. I wonder whether anyone can play that role at the moment and, if not, how I can be helpful.
What are the competencies a CNM Website Developer required to have?
The team needs a website at cnmcyber.com at least. My ideas about competencies might be wrong.
