Hey all, I've got a question that hopefully the collective can help me answer.
A local choir group has asked around for some help with some web development, and since I'm "a computer guy" I've been specifically asked if I can help. I've done basic web development in the past (CGI scripting and such), usually in PERL. I haven't done it in a while, and I've never worked on a project basis -- always salaried for a company. What they want looks relatively simple. They want a calendar of events, and they want members to be able to submit requests to be absent. The calendar events would be manually entered, I think, but they want to automate the absence requests as much as possible. There needs to be some logic about making sure that if too many of a particular voice (say, lots of tenors) have requested absence, it will automatically deny the request, otherwise it'll approve it. So, a small database of members and who's planning to be absent for which events would be kept, probably in the calendar itself or maybe in a small backend database. It looks like I can do this using a Google calendar and some PHP API calls. I'd need to learn PHP unless there are PERL API calls I can use instead -- that's not a show stopper. What I'm curious about is getting some guidance as to what a project like this might be worth? I have no idea how long it might take, or what the going rate is for a dev project like this. I realize this isn't a lot to go on. I need to talk more with the director to find out exactly what he wants, but any input would be appreciated. It's been a long time since I've done web dev work. Thanks! -Adam
