This may be OT, however I would appreciate your opinion, realizing this is hard to quantify and purely speculative.
You have two developers. One is a couple years out of college, BS in Computer Science. Done some work with Access and VB. You need to train him in CF, but he has all the intangible attributes you like, enthusiasm, good learner, self starter blah blah.... The other is a veteran senior CF developer with more than 6 years of CF experience working with fairly complicated applications. How much more would you expect from a senior developer than a newbie you need to train. Bean counters want some sort of quantifiable comparison. Would you expect 20% more productivity? 40% how much? For how long obviously the newbie will get better / faster with time so maybe after two or three years there are equal expectations. I realize there are too many intangibles to count. But as a rule how much better are you in year ___ of your CF experience than you were in year one? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Create Web Applications With ColdFusion MX7 & Flex 2.
