PHP Developer Bangalore

On-demand service industry has been growing in India. Today we have on-demand service starting from cabs to laundry. This is catching up a trend among the new generation as it makes their life easy. Soon things like getting a haircut, fixing a tap becomes a part of on-demand service industry.

Say you have a great idea that would be a part of on-demand service economy, and then you need to know just two things to get started – a business knowledge of your industry and technologies you need to run your business. This blog is all about the latter one.

Mobile app for all participants

Most of the on-demand services operate by making aggregation of local services in their industry. In simple sense business make a tie-up or an agreement with the other business entity or individuals at different locations. These business entity or individuals are called vendors.

So you have done with building your online service or a product. The very last feature is to have online payment system for your customer to pay you. This is last feature, but very crucial one. You may use online payment service such as chragebee, chragify , recurly etc and integrate with your system. But wait, they charge you more and the fact is you end up paying more in long run.

Think of it; you can build your own, fully controlled online payment system by using payment gateway from the bank where you hold business account. Yes, it’s safe if you consider 5 things described in this blog. Read them and get your developer to follow them during development.

Save your order with the payment gateway response

Every order or subscription done at your website is being saved in database. Your developer includes business relevant information such as subscription end date or number of pieces ordered in the database. However, he may miss out with the key information – payment gateway response.

Payment gateway response is information given out by the payment gateway for every transaction – be it successful or failure. This is very important information at times. In fact, during a dispute between you and your bank this information is a key. Hence make sure that your developer saves it in the database.

Let me start off my saying PHP Developer is not a PHP Consultant. If you have ever worked with a PHP developer before, you may have noticed few annoying things – unrealistic development promises, absence of long term commitments etc. May be you have seen a PHP developer quitting the project in between or not responding to your calls for weeks together. If you think why it is so – I would say that’s why they are called PHP Developers.

Yes, that’s a basic difference between a PHP Developer & PHP consultant. The PHP consultants are oriented towards fact & time. They speak the hard truth no matter what would be after effect – facts are facts!

Being made a point above, that is not an only reason to choose a PHP consultant over PHP developer. If you have spoken to a PHP consultant before the way they put their thoughts are much different than PHP developer.PHP developer speaks in terms of what needs to be developed , but PHP consultant speaks in terms of what needs to be achieved & how it helps the business or client. PHP consultant take the “ownership” of the project they do – let me tell you ownership mindset come by hard way.

Say you are a PHP Developer who takes up freelance projects. After few months of being in the field you always feel like you are paid less than what you deserve. If you ever felt so, then the person you have to blame is yourself. That’s because you may be having very few direct clients. Surprised how does this matter? Read on…

 

The first obvious reason is that the middle person between the client & you will take up his/her piece of cake. The left out is what you get. So that’s the very basic reason every one is known of. But let me tell you there are other reasons too.

I just answered a interesting question on Quora –

How a web developer should keep him/her updated with latest web technologies?

From last few days I was trying out with Vtiger CRM which is an Open source CRM which got split from Sugar CRM. In fact even today few codes of Vtiger are used by Sugar CRM and vice versa. In Vtiger this has been clearly mentioned using comments. So we can identify the original author of the code.

The Vtiger make use of Smarty template as presentation framework. But the internal framework is bit clumsy. Since many elements of Vtiger make use of other open source projects the code is included as is. In other words for first time developer understanding the location of the codes is bit difficult.

Actually, I started to look into Vtiger to enter into Customization market. That’s the reason I suppose to look into these aspect of the system. But one thing which I must say is that it is very powerful CRM which is strictly build over OOPS concepts.

Being said that, I have few more things to say. There is a very less market for Vtiger in India. Yes, in Indian market Vtiger is not much adopted. Probably you may say adoption is very less in Asia too. In fact, according to an expert whom I spoke to, said me that automation has very recently started in India. So that’s the exact reason for the market status of Vtiger in India. Vtiger has a huge market in US and Europe. Many small and medium enterprises are in automation mode.
