I agree. The facts are:
- A simple DTML Zope programmers costs are okay and maybe below programmer
average.
- A good Zope/Python programmer will cost above average.
- A good Zope/Python System-Designer is very expensive.
Because of that you try to minimize the Designer's time by providing a nice
tool (UML tool, such as ObjectDomain). Then you try to minimize the Python
Programmers time by auto-generating the framework and only make him to fill
the methods with life. Now, because we have a UML diagram, the DTML
programmer can start right away with programming the DTML and HTML around
the data/functional model, since the API is clear. This way you optimized
several things:
- Minimize the time of the expensive people.
- Minimize the development time, since many people can work parallel.
- Because of the above, you minimize risk and money spent. And voila, you
have a well functioning RAD team.*
* This assumes that your team works together well. ;-)
