We Need A Programmer - Page 2

What's the timeframe? I can help out whatever I can in the mean time since I'm just caught up with a minor project and job hunting. I guess learning ASP.NET won't be too difficult since it's OO...similar to Java.

Timeframe? Well, we need to get the backend out ASAP since it's been long-delayed.

Hmm.. The backend is a little complicated because we are trying to implement our new hub system.

So, I think it might be better to reprogram it in PHP if you are more familiar with that.

Incidentally, if we go PHP, other programmers like wilfred will be able to help out in this project.

On the downside, we need to be able to port our current data to mySQL.

true but not quite, there is a learning curve and I would rather not have the backend be a 'experiment with a new language' like what I've done with the current backend.

so, that's why we would prefer programmers who's already good with what they do to take over. not half-cook programmer like me...

Hehe.. I think I better have a meeting with the team and Wilfred. Let's see what our capabilities are before we move either way.

So, do let us know what you are capable of; and what you are not. That will make it easier for us to determine the best path to take.

i understand what peaz meant..
even me i'm trying very hard to understand .NET but it still gives me headache

just lack experience ...

Yup agree with zy i did ASP.net before but more on mobile platform. Will the moving of database taking a long time ? If not really i will suggest we go for the PHP with mySQL

How many here are comfortable with PHP and MySQL btw? At least it'll be good to find out first before any options are decided upon.

Yeah, that's a good idea. Let's get an idea of everyone's expertise in PHP or ASP.Net before we decide on the best path to follow.
