It was a while ago, but I had no experience with MVC back then. It took me about a week to completely grok the frameworks and concepts (like authorization model abstraction). After you have knowledge of the framework, I would say it would take a day to make the simple CRUD layout that you see and then a week or two to polish it off. I would conservatively give a programmer a month to complete and polish a similar system, with all the database design, modifications to the views, models and controllers. It looks like the programmer might of been using ASP MVC, but I can't fully tell. I'd recommend you go with an open-source stack of FreeBSD, PostgreSQL Database and one of the Frameworks I mentioned above. I'd recommend Ruby on Rails if I knew more about it. I have no knowledge of Python MVC frameworks. On Tue, Aug 20, 2013 at 7:37 AM, Jerry wrote: > I have been charged with investigation alternate software packages for > use in our community.
