Hi there, I know this a difficult and opinionated topic, but I have been asked by a friend what technology to choose for a Lean Startup (= 3 months until the first minimum viable product). While he and I know WebObjects quite well, I think it's safe to say there are only few people here in Germany who know it at all. I'm personally convinced (and have seen this affirmed by the two WOWODC talks about Lean Startup and Fluffy Bunny, excellent talks by the way) that WO itself is a great technology to get things up and running very fast. However, what if the business grows and he needs to hire more people?
My first question is - do you easily find skilled people who are willing to learn WebObjects? What's your experience on this? And the second question would be - how long does it take them to be productive, i.e. write working code without much help. I'm assuming here the person knows Java quite well and is eager to learn new stuff. The alternative would be Ruby on Rails, which seems quite popular in startups nowadays. Thanks for your insight! - Marius _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list. They will be ignored.
