This question is not coming from a programmer. (obviously) I currently have a programmer making a website for me and I am realizing that he isn’t going to completely work out.
He has already done quite a bit of work and the site is almost there but I need someone who is better to take it the rest of way. The site has been done in asp.net and I am wondering how hard it would be for a more experienced programmer to take over and finish the work he has already done?
In general, is it hard for an asp.net programmer to come in towards the end of a project and fix what needs to be fixed?
There is five different pages on the site with two overlays for a signup and sign in. (Five pages with many different versions) There is a database and client-side scripting. AJAX was also used. It’s a site somewhat similar to SO only not quite as complex and about something completly different. I would say think of something that falls somewhere between Stackoverflow and Craig’s List. Thats all I can say now as I don’t know the technical words.
A good idea will be to have them work together,for say, a week or two. This will help the new programmer get some much needed training about your current system.
