Non
Disclosure
Agreement...think it means you can't say that you're working for them.

usually an nda is used to prevent any outside parties from leaking proprietary info to other outside parties (like competitors). read the terms carefully, but an nda shouldn't prevent you from saying that you've worked for a client, but may limit what you can say about the specific functionality you've developed for them, how and why.

yea basically they just don't want to say 'what' you're working on for them. it's fine to say you're working for them

I think they are good depending on the situation. I make testers and possible consultant programmers sign one. Sometimes there are secrests and company mission critical data that shouldn't be released...it's a good idea to have people sign them....
Of course I allow the limited creditability for people in their resumes and portfolio as long as the screen shots and verbage is approved first.
I don't mind giving someone help getting another job, but there are somethings that must remain top secret within a company (some legally have to anyway).
Course, these are all internal only projects...most web work doesn't get a full NDA.
