I listened to it and got a few laughs out of it. I called one of their staff after it was over. They are an outfit with a good product. Costly as well. They don't go into the license that states that you are going to have them on site to help you get up to speed. They say that the same end product you are creating will run on either web or win no code needed for that separation. They also state that one beni in their code will force data changes done on other workstations to your display in real time, in both web or win. That just sounds like a con. Web is dissociated from data. They site a company that started in the first version of .NET and then converted to ver 2 and then again for ver 3.5 They had 2500 forms and more reports. They said that the project was only 75% complete in 3 years. 4 developers who were also doing break fix on old system. I have no idea on the form complexity for this app but I think that a complex form is probably 16-32 hrs or maybe more depending on the requirements. So taking the low end value, 16hrs, that times 70% of the bulk forms requires 13.46 man years just for the forms, let alone the reporting. This is a monster app. Not sure how long I would have put into a project plan. -- Stephen Russell Sr. Production Systems Programmer Web and Windows Development Independent Contractor Memphis TN 901.246-0159 _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[email protected] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
