Hello,<div><br></div><div>I will start a company early next year, and an important part of that is creating a client/server application aimed at "quick and powerful customization" by us, not the customer, for each customer as their needs dictate. Its a bit of a cross between consultancy and a software maker.</div>
<div><br></div><div>I wrote a prototype in Python using Postgresql+PyQt+Linux+threads, and having observed Python's performance and productivity (I'm a C programmer...), its definitely the way to go for this project. I don't want to go the Web 2.0 route, there are few practical advantages for the type of software I'm writing (ie: deployment), but lots of disadvantages.</div>
<div><br></div><div><br></div><div>
I have a question to the Australian community (after all, I'll have to hire some Python programmers): would you work for a startup creating modern software from scratch that's *not* Web 2.0?</div><div><br></div><div>
<br></div><div>
I know its the latest "fad", and the majority of job ads I've seen are Web 2.0-related, the rest are mostly videogames, embedded or defense stuff.</div><div><br></div><div>I need to stop beginning each sentence with "I <<something>>" :-)</div>
<div><br></div><div>Thanks,</div><div>Andi</div>
