I’m wondering building a website like StackOverFlow (approximately the same features using ASP.NET ) How much Work-power and time does it take in your opinion .
My boss has asked me to estimate for work-power , time , cost and suitable technologies .
I appreciate any direction .
I believe that the site would take plenty of time to implement. If I’d have to pull a guess of thin air I’d say somewhere between 800-1200 man hours.
Then comes the setting up servers, ensuring scalability, testing, fine-tuning algorithms.
So depending on how good you or your team is it could take anywhere up to a year to write something like this.
Disclaimer: I am just talking based on 10 years of experience with web-development. But I could be COMPLETELY wrong.
