Hire an experienced Revolution Consultant and then program it yourself and introduce your team to it in progress. Then you have control over the project instead of someone new to REV who will probably try to fit Rev into their thinking instead of their thinking into Rev. Secondly, the consultant can teach and inform and consult on the best practices and usage during the planing stage and if you get into trouble they are already familiar with the project and can step in to help in the actual programming. You team will take the consultants lead and our lead and in the end get a great intro to Rev and it's paradigm.

Sounds like a win win to me.

Good luck and as someone on this list told me "Go for it, Just jump in and start"

My gut says hire a rev-experienced person first so management can see the thing work sooner. Quicker results = success

At the moment we do websites and that's it. However, we've recently been bidding for bigger and bigger jobs that although the customer thinks "hey, that'd be cool on a browser", I think that their users (internal that is) would feel far happier with a client application. So, as the Tech director of the company, it's my job to source the best method of doing these things.

Now, I got RunRev as a hobby thing. I like programming and I like the
challenge of new stuff, and this seemed a good toy to take me away from the humdrum of office life (busman's holiday I know, but us geeks are like that). However while I'm sat in a meeting the other day listening to some requirements, it hit me like a bolt that RunRev could do all and more of
what was required.

So, totally hypothetical at the moment, but let's say we decided to write some stuff in RunRev. We've got a small dev team of three PHP programmers and although they may find it fun, we really don't want them to take their
eye off the ball. So I have a dilemma. Do I go looking for a RunRev
programmer, do I freelance our requirements or do I take someone on and
train them in the art of Transcript?

Open discussion really, what would you do?

Andy.
