Re: Managing Remote Developers
On 5/23/07, Ben Shichman [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: My company, located in LA, consistently is having difficulty finding and hiring local CF talent. Have you considered looking in SD or IE? Particularly if you are looking for remote help, having someone close enough to drive up to LA every few weeks is advantageous. I'd also review the compensation package you are offering. I know pickins are slim in SoCal (I live in SD), but I've also found that alot of companies out here expect good talent for VERY low wages. You may find more candidates willing to work for you if you bump up the rates a bit. They will likely also be more productive and happier. 1) How can we maintain a team atmosphere with remote workers? It's tough, but frequent communication is key. If your work environment is IM friendly it will make it easier. You will also want to budget in money to fly the developers to your location periodically if you ever expect to have any type of team spirit. It could also be a good idea to buy the remote workers a nice fat DSL line and provide them with webcams. Faces tend to make people feel more connected. 2) We are not consultants, we produce a single product which 6-7 developers will work on. How do you manage the workload of remote developers in this type of environment, where you cant just give them a client project and tell them to run with it? We currently develop specs and give them to a dev - is this enough? Actually, I would think that working on a single product would be EASIER for remote developers. You can fly them out, teach them the inner workings of the app, and then they can go - without having to get re-oriented with each new project. Also, if your shop is using ANY of the frameworks out there you're likely to find people who can hit the ground running much faster than you otherwise would. Frameworks will make it easier to divide work out to remote folks too. 3) How do you develop trust with the remote dev? Same way you do with other team members. Just be sure to be VERY VERY clear about performance expectations from the get go. There is alot of informal communication that goes on in person that they will not get when remote. You won't have as many opportunities to correct a wrong direction so make sure you communicate alot and make it clear what you expect from them (without being overbearing of course). 4) What mechanisms for reporting of time etc are most effective? Is this a salaried job? If so, why would they need to track time? If you ever expect trust from them you have to trust them too. I personally find that making your full time employees keep time is insulting - unless you are running a Burger King. If this is a hourly contract job, then I would expect them to provide you with invoices and timesheets just like any other contractor would. Depending on what you use for accounting, there are some good options out there - for example, QuickBooks online allows employees to enter time directly into QB with a web browser. -Cameron -- Cameron Childress Sumo Consulting Inc http://www.sumoc.com --- cell: 678.637.5072 aim: cameroncf email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~| Create Web Applications With ColdFusion MX7 Flex 2.

Re: Skill Sets
I think that's a constructive question. I would break the types of CF developers into two camps: 1) Website Developers and 2) Application (Business) Developers. The requirements are different for both, with some overlap. 1) Website Developers - need stronger CSS and design skills. Might list things like strong Photoshop experience on a resume. Usually weaker on actual software development skill, but stronger on design and have a better balance between application development and design skill. Website people tend to come from backgrounds were they were a one man band and had to wear allt he hats to get things done. During an interview, if you ask these folks what technologies they'd like to learn about next they will answer with CSS, Flash, etc. Most of the people I look for don't fall into this bucket. Mainly because I work primarily with business apps and not marketing focused websites. I don't say this to reduce the significance of this skillset, only to point out that I don't have a list of skillsets for this type of position on the tip of my tongue. 2) Business Application Developers - Stronger software development skills, but can't design their way out of a paper bag - because they don't need to. Usually these types of developers are accustomed to building apps on a team where there are dedicated design folks to worry about the CSS and visual design work, and the CF guys are just doing CF code. It's common for people in this camp to know multiple programming languages. During an interview, if you ask these guys what they'd like to learn next they will answer .NET, Java, Design Patterns. As far as the actual question asked about skillsets... I tend not to look at specific skills inside CF, but for more abstract skills. A recent job posting I made for a position listed the following skills: - Firm grasp of Object Oriented Programming concepts - Knowledge of current Design Pattern trends - Analytical mind / good problem solving skills - Understanding of overall application design and development - Standards oriented development - Attention to detail In my personal opinion, someone who has these nailed down can handle the specific challenges that any specific language presents. I know - these are not easy to quantify and it's hard to say go learn this like you can by saying go learn SQL or go learn CSS. It's easy to ask about these concepts conversationally during an interview and tell if someone's totally lost or knows something about them. After that it's really a totally subjective measurement as to what is intermediate. Ultimately, I think the measurement of a candidate's skill level has alot to do with the skill level of the interviewer. After all, we only know what we know. I know that every day someone teaches me something I didn't know. Does that make me a beginner? Intermediate? I have no idea. Only someone who really knows everything could tell me, and I don't know anyone who knows everything. Till then, I will be estimating someone else's skill level by the only measuring stick available to me - my own skill level. -Cameron On 8/8/06, Steve Blades [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: What do you consider a solid base skill set for an Intermediate ColdFusion Developer?

Re: Too much experience
My own personal experience is that most of the best jobs are not filled through recruiters, but via the networking. I try to make sure people know who I am and when/if they ever have an opening to think of me. Recruiters are expensive and most companies would prefer to get candidates direct if they know some. It's just a matter of getting exposure to the people who make those decisions in a personal way (not via resume blasts). Even if a company must go through an agency due to some contractual obligation you can still get hires directly by the company and just fill out the paperwork for the hiring firm. Just meet people and make sure they remember you in a positive light and you have half the battle won already. -Cameron On 2/13/06, Michael Dinowitz [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Problem is, in NY almost every corp or government job your going to see is through a head hunter.

Re: CF or C F ?
Yes as Erik says - its one word. It just take a quick peek at Macromedia.com (or adobe.com) to see that it's quite consistently spelled as one word. Seeing it as two words on a resume or on a job posting is an interesting indicator of how long someone's been around (or their attention to detail), but shouldn't be a make or break type of thing unless you have 100 resumes to look at and need something silly to separate out a few of them. Also, as Beau points out, it's quite common to see it used both ways in job posts so it's always a good idea to search for both spellings when you do job searches. -Cameron On 1/25/06, Erik Voldengen [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: It was C F back in the 3.x and before days.

The number of people using an OO framework like Model-Glue or Mach-II is even smaller. I would expect an intermediate programmer to understand basic OO concepts, even if they are not framework aware. You're more than welcome to say but a developer should take it upon himself to go out and learn. I agree (probably most people will) but not everyone does it.

Re: which one of these things is not like the other...
The best answer to most of these questions is livedocs. A good developer knows how to solve problems and find answers, not how to memorize every useless little attribute of every tag in the book. I'll hire someone how participates in the community and knows how to find the answer before someone who's memorised a book any day of the week. -Cameron -- Cameron Childress Sumo Consulting Inc http://www.sumoc.com --- cell: 678.637.5072 aim: cameroncf email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Apr 8, 2005 3:10 PM, Jeffry Houser [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: One question from one of these exams that I took sticks out in my mind How many valid values are there for the action attribute of cfdirectory. a) one b) two c) three d) four e) five (that was the gist of the question, although I may have the wrong tag).

RE: Verbal or Written Estimates
It's also possible they are using this information to compare your services to someone else's. I would respond with a time frame and estimate with accuracy and completeness equal to their current spec.IF they have a vague spec, then you should respond with a vague answer, and I would typically do this in email. A response I'd typically make to a request like this would be something like It will be difficult to pin down exact numbers until we pin down the scope of the project a little better.Having said that, projects like this typically take around 20 to 35 weeks at a cost of $100,000 to $150,000. This is a ballpark timeframe and cost, which is all they asked for, and gives you some wiggle room later on. -Cameron - Cameron Childress Sumo Consulting Inc --- land:858.509.3098 cell:678.637.5072 aim:cameroncf email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -Original Message- From: Jeffry Houser [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, March 25, 2004 3:36 AM To: CF-Jobs-Talk Subject: Verbal or Written Estimates A client was pushing me into a ballpark time-frame and estimate using a half-written spec (they provided, not myself).They made the request via email.
