I have decided that the only way I am going to get anywhere is to have
someone get things set up for me in this shopping cart. I just will never
have the time to do this and there is so much DB layout to do also. I just
need a part timer - contractor that can set things up, get me on track,
teach me how to manage upgrades and go from there but be available from time
to time.
We are not flush with money but we are very comfortable in the spring-fall
months. But we have to get our DB reconfigured.
I need to know how I should tackle this.
Should I hire a mid level / high level guy, should I hire a guru?
I need a real quote on what it would take to prep us for growth.
Again the scenario is:
MySQL
AbleCommerce
Upgrade DB table structure to accept more fields without breaking Able.
Script MySQL and make a restoration routine to allow upgrades of able (which
overwrite some DB structures potentially) to be reconfigured back to the
custom mode.
Build management of upgrades like SVN etc that will reinstantiate custom
internal code to upgrade new Able versions when rolled out.
Thats the big picture and my learning curve is too long and I can not afford
the time or the chance on breaking our production site to work with these
issues.
The CF training was helpful now that I know what it is and roughly what can
be expected of it.
I now have the skills to understand management of the development of an
intranet and theoretical functionality of CF and DB's but thats enough to be
really dangerous.
Can you all help me find the most cost effective solution to get where I
need to be as painlessly as possible?
Thanks.
