How do I know if I need a back-end developer? I don't mean to be a jerk, man, but your writing reeks of newbie trying to use big words. I totally commend your efforts but maybe it would make sense to put a disclaimer about your level of familiarity with some of these subjects. I don't know any designers who can put together a single-node MySQL database backend with dynamic pages written in PHP/RoR/some such, and that's what 99% of startup projects entail. This guy needs a programmer if he's going to make a web application -- he can stick with just a designer if it's nothing more than a marketing site with flat content. |

How do I know if I need a back-end developer? I've been a programmer for about twenty years and this just isn't the distinction I've typically seen. For example, you need a programmer to make a Java Swing GUI, period. A frontend "designer" can't make anything in Java, and typically can't use JavaScript either. Most designs I've seen come in the form of a photoshop file, and a programmer is then expected to "transcribe" the general design into HTML/CSS/JS on the frontend, served by something on the backend, e.g. Ruby, PHP, whatever. Clustered or not, SQL or NoSQL, relational or not, ACID or not, you need a programmer for any database work. |

How to use a new book for start-up marketing With financial services consulting, there's a ton of stuff you could write about in such a book. I would write about the core competency of the consulting firm -- specifically getting into what their viewpoint is that makes them different and how that viewpoint would have fared historically. People in the markets love to read about hypotheses that explain the past, regardless of whether they have any relevance to the future. Going through a blow by blow, here's what we would've given you in '87, here's what we'd have done in '07, could be cool. |

How to use a new book for start-up marketing Ah I see, you're an author, whose client is starting a consulting business. So obviously don't write a book isn't an option. ;) |

How to use a new book for start-up marketing Maybe more info on what kind of consulting you're doing would help? The answer would be very different for a tech consultant than a management consultant... |
