Re: [dcphp-dev] Abridged summary of washington-...@googlegroups.com - 1 update in 1 topic

I think this is quite common. Management always wants things in a certain timeframe (unless its a govt), and then see what is doable in that. In many government contracts, you have open ended T&M projects where just contractors are making money. Finding a shop to do CF -> PHP with prior migration should not be problem. It may seem needle in haystack, because not everyone is doing cutting edge work.  There are many government organizations who are still using CF and there are many migrations happening. Companies like Washington Gas had tons of code base in CF and many migrations happened. I have been part of two groups (though I wasnt doing the CF) where CF was heavy.  
I am however curious to find out why PHP. Cold Fusion heavily relies on Java and its deployed in Java Container. Being a Java app, Java seems to be ideal / natural choice of language for migration.

Starting from essentially a green field should to some extent make the process a bit easier, but in my experience team size is not a determining factor of how well a rewrite goes in the end.

Big red flags here are the fact that "management" wants it done in a particular timeframe, which means people who have no f***ing clue how to write code have set deadlines. Also known as a "recipe for failure." That, and the fact that they want someone who has done a CF -> PHP rewrite on this scale in the last three years, that's a needle in a haystack.

Hi,
 
My company is looking for a development shop in the DC area to migrate our
codebase from ColdFusion 10 to PHP. I say development shop because I'm
looking for an established team and don't ...more
