Hi! ok say i want to build a web app thats quite complex. It's part a mashup part web app,with what i assume might be a complicated e-commerce set up.(the idea i have,i have not seen anywhere on net) I only have basic html and css skills currently,and i am prepared to learn php. Is it possible to break down the app into "sections" and outsource the coding to different programmers? ..then piece together the chunks of code? Would that make a sloppy app? I'm curious. I want to get the app built,but i want to protect the IP to a degree. It would take far too long to get a patent,and i believe it would probably take me longer than 3 months to learn php inside out. I want to have the app ready for launch by Nov/December. then again web dev teams can have multiple coders..but i assume that works well when the team is within the same building. herein,lies my dilemma. It is not within the realm of possibility to set up a web team locally. I would have to hire and outsource from around the globe. The reason i want to do it this way,is I'm worried that a programmer would take the idea and create it themselves. My target market is webmasters,afterall. any advice here would be appreciated, thanks, arc
Well as for leaking idea, do not share the idea with anyone until a company gives you 100% guarantee (a written agreement signed in front of public), that the comany or the individual you hire will never use your idea for commercial purposes. Atleast I being CEO of a company (which I did not disclose yet), guarantee this, becuase we already have 100s of aplications in queue, we realyl do not have time to imlement others' ideas. I personally have been developing large aplications wth my developers at comany (4-5 becuase 1 developer is absant almost all the time lol but he is treasure so I dont fire him), now when I am in Management I did not engage myself with development since a month or so. But as far your roject, it is interesting, and I like challanges, and always meet deadlines and sometimes I submit weeks prior to deadline. You can discuss the idea with me without worrying, if you ever think by any means your idea was leaked out by me, I will gladely step down at this forum with money back 100%. We basically integrate TDP paradigm in RAD Model that we follow at our develoent lab, and that is the reason we reach deadline before time.
