It's looking very possible that I might be able to use Lisp on my new
web project.
We are importing data into mysql and generating pdf reports including
graphs. It's not a high-traffic site, so the guts will be an ajax web
app that sets up the queries to produce the reports.
I started with php, and can continue that way if I have to. But I
finally got Lisp working with CLSQL, and would most definitely prefer
that route. Since the libraries I need are pretty simple (just xml,
ajax, pdf) php doesn't offer much. Except maintainability by someone
other than me.
The big question here is how to bid on a Lisp project. I have no idea
how to tell how many hours it will take and how much to charge.
Actually, I could gestimate the hours, but I'm not sure how accurate it
would be, and how much I should charge per hour.
Any thoughts?
