Paul,
First of all, thank you for sharing all this information
In this case it seems like a client is already using SalesForce and
asking about doing some changes. So after this i've been asked about
how many time it would take for a developer to get into the platform
My first guess was a week, then i downloaded the manual (with > 300
pages) and i started thinking in two weeks, but if it's Java i don't
think we'll be able to take it. We are doing PHP mostly, also FB apps,
ASP, AS, but not Java
From what you are telling me, it seems like we might need to develop
in Java, not in PHP, is this correct?
The language is APEX, which is very similar to Java -- there's an
IDE for APEX that runs in Eclipse.
You definitely can write applications in some other language that
access Salesforce via a SOAP API. In my experience this works very well
with Microsoft's SOAP stack in .NET, I can't say I've ever tried it
with PHP. On the other hand, if you host the whole app in Salesforce
there are some big advantages in terms of reliability, performance,
not having to sysadmin, etc.
