[PHP] Web Development/Application Analysis
Hello, I have just hired a remote PHP programmer. His main job is web development and applications. I have few concerns, I would be happy if someone can point me to the right direction. 1. How can I provide him the requirements. I mean how can I analyze the site and put everything in writing. 2. How can I estimate manhours. Is there a sample web site/application anyalsis. Basically, what is provided to the programmers in order for them to start working? -- OOzy Ubuntu (8.10) -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
