Hi Hans -- Yes, we are talking about working within a team of developers, UX, etc people... I have been a "hiring manager", a project manager for not that long period of time - but that was quite enough to have a look at developers (including myself) from "other side of the fence". And I have got back to freelancing/teaming-up with other developers/freelancers when necessary... Using Web technologies constitute probably 20% of my current projects, which are mainly desktop ones, but there were times when I worked full-time (in freelancing) solely on web projects. I have zero web graphics design skills and (I think) rather developed "sense of beauty", which I have inherited from my father who was a very good jewelry master (Faberge School) - so web projects constitute smaller part of my projects as I rarely get satisfied with graphics designs and I cannot compete with others in this area but anyway I'm planning to make web projects' part of my development practice larger - so I'm mastering modern Web development technologies by using Pluralsight and other sources while moving parts of my main customers desktop projects to the web sub-contracting third-party web graphics designers or sub-tasks/sub-projects developers when needed. In my experience modern web development is in general easier than the modern desktop development. I have currently no working mobile development experience but as far as see from the sources I'm working through mobile development in general is as complicated as desktop development is if not more complicated. Thank you. -- Shamil Четверг, 14 февраля 2013, 1:22 -08:00 от Hans-Christian Andersen <hans.andersen at phulse.com>: >Hi Shamil, > >Yes, my experience is precisely as what I stated and I have also been on the other side of the fence as being the hiring manager. I will concede that all my experience in the last decade has revolved around web technologies and the web and not traditional desktop software development, but I still think what I say holds to true in most contexts. Of course, if you have a nuclear reactor about the explode and you need a specialist to come in and fix it, that is logical. But, for most other things, I think it holds true. What's more important than having a specialist is having a smart person with a good foundation. > >Another concession would be that I have been assuming we are talking about working within a team of developers, UX, etc people. If you are hired as a solo developer to work alone on a project, well... then things can be different. > >- Hans > > > > >On 2013-02-14, at 12:09 AM, Salakhetdinov Shamil < mcp2004 at mail.ru > wrote: > >> Hi Hans -- >> >> FYI: I'm working for the Western European and American and worldwide custom software development markets for almost twenty years now: Germany, Switzerland, Belgium, the Netherlands, UK, Ireland, US, Canada... I have learned, I have had and I have a working experience with many technologies during that period and before starting from assemblers, C/C++, Pascal, ... SQL, .. and ending by VBA, C# etc.. In parallel to my everyday custom applications development work I'm currently taking Pluralsight courses to get the new knowledge and skills in some modern technologies applicable on the mainstream desktop, web and mobile platforms... >> >> So your note on your "judging by your western european and north american experience" sounds strange here - do you assume that your experience differs that much from experience of a modern (application) software developer living anywhere in this "small world"? If yes - please open your mind and eyes - that difference can be neglected - I mean that, I know that. >> >> When I'm talking about delegating the work to specialists I mean to not "give-up forever" the own knowledge acquiring and the working experience mastering/development in the new technologies but to do the *current* job/task the most effective and economically affordable way both in short- and in long-run. Please see the difference. >> >> Thank you. >> >> -- Shamil >> <<< skipped >>> >
