It stinks when you don’t have programming knowledge…
May 26, 2004
I have 2 site ideas that I would really like to do, but my lack of programming knowledge is holding me back. :(
Stinks.

I have great faith in your ideas considering how far you’ve come. Share them with me if you’re willing to :)
Hey,
I really appreciate the sentiment. I’ll keep that in mind.
I’m kind of in the same boat Patrick. You’re already a member of some great resouceful communities. Use them to your advantage and try and learn PHP :)
Can’t. No time. I have tried, but it just hasn’t stuck. Maybe because I have too much on my mind.
If you ever need a helping hand just let me know, altough you know I’m still learning PHP myself :p
I appreciate that, Keith.
Unfortunately, I couldn’t know enough to program a script as good as I would want. :)
Sounds like the key would be finding someone who does have the necessary skills. This way, each of you brings something to the table.
Hey,
Yeah, that is an idea, of course. But, one issue is that I am not looking to transfer the slightest bit of ownership of any site I create to another person, so partnering in that way wouldn’t work. So, it comes down to compensation.
I can pay a little bit, but far far less what I need is worth. I can also offer some ad space and a free domain, etc. It would be rare that someone I am comfortable with would be willing to work with that.
So, it comes down to a good friend taking pity on me and helping me, basically. ;)
Hmm, I certainly understand that business model, and sympathize with the desire to maintain it.
Yeah.
At the same time, I hope that one day I am big enough where I can pay a good programmer a good salary. That time just isn’t now.
On the flip side, I can offer some stuff… I mean, a little money, some solid ad space (help in the search engine rankings) and the maybe referrals from other people I know who do have the money… you never know.
Anyway, that’s life. Its the classic problem. Idea people. Web designers. Programmers. Tough to be all three and have a heck of a lot going. :)
Thanks for stopping by, too, John.
