Web site dev cost (second attempt)
-
Hi - sorry for the delayed reply ( last one was from Texas, am now in Australia ) The core issue IMO is to ask HOW someone would impliment some things, to make sure they will use reusable controls, and otherwise structure your application so that it's easy to change/debug/extend. So, I'd show a programmer some screenshots of pages I have done that take advantage of OO and code reuse, and ask them how they'd go about writing something similar. The programmer doesn't need to know the names of lots of design patterns ( although that may be a good sign ), but they need to be using them, either intuitively or through learning them. I'd definately ask them to choose a couple of pages of code they feel represents them well and send them in, then ask questions about those pages ( to make sure they didn't just download them ), via MSN if they are not local to you. The basic 'how do you do this' questions, lots of people can answer. The design stuff is what's important and is lost on a lot of people, for some reason. Christian Graus - Microsoft MVP - C++
Thanks Christian. You gave me a good idea of what to ask. Basically, same questions I would ask an offline programmer. Thanks a lot for your assistance.
