Our software company is looking for a programmer who is HIGHLY proficient in HTML, JavaScript, Flash, PHP, MySQL and Windows programing (language is your choice....Delphi, C++, doesn't matter as long as it does the job).
We're not kidding -- you must have a SERIOUS mastery of ALL these skills.
You must also have an eye for design and be able to design GOOD LOOKING programs. This applies especially to Flash.
Do not even bother replying to this if you cannot demonstrate that you are proficient in ALL of the languages mentioned above.
For your first project, we would like to see a software program which works like this (multiple components, all working together):
1. A Windows EXE program which, when run, allows the person running it to enter some HTML content.
2. It outputs a combination of HTML, JavaScript, and Flash, which can be placed on any web page.
3. When this code is placed on a web page, it will show a Flash animation of a page "peeling away," which is very inviting for people to click.
4. When they move their mouse over it, it will peel back dramatically and reveal the HTML the user of the original program specified in #1.
Here is a website which demonstrates this exact behavior, to make it more clear:

You must be able to make it LOOK good, but unique (not exactly like this one).
We will NOT accept generic responses to this project. You must specifically give evidence that you are proficient in ALL of the programming languages mentioned at the top of this project, as well as specifically give evidence that you understand exactly what this project is all about, and that you can do it.
An explanation of how you might plan on doing it would be in good order. I have been a programmer for 16 years, so please get technical, or I won't hire you.
If we choose you for this first project, there will be many more to come.
