Most entrepreneurs praise the merits of outsourcing web development work in India, whereby others have sworn off because of awful experiences.  Here are the benefits of outsourcing in India and to hire a web developer.

Cost

The cost of labor obviously is a lot cheaper in India. Why pay a local web developer $150 per hour when you may have the ability to obtain the same work performed for 1/4 of the cost, or less, from India? Then, you might use your cost savings to build a more feature-rich, bigger application.

Short-Term Commitment

The most underrated advantage of outsourcing includes the capability of bringing in a professional on a project basis without having to commit long-term (and paying the related expenses).

No Office Distractions

It might seem silly, yet most office environments are big distractions for developers. With office chit chat, lunch, and long commutes, there’s little time left for web developers to get work done in the office. Also, this typically means developers have to work more hours than needed, which will hurt morale and potentially company culture.

Skill set to search for in a developer

It is easiest to browse a developer description by splitting the skills within these 3 areas: database technologies, server-side languages, and client-side languages.

Client-side languages

Client-side scripting will refer to the development of web applications which execute themselves inside the browser of an individual’s computer, like simple flash games, storing user data in cookies, or additional types of interactive web applications. Also, this includes utilizing languages such as CSS, HTML, or JavaScript to construct the feel, look, and layout of a site.

Below include examples of client-side languages:

1.    Microsoft Silverlight
2.    JQuery
3.    Flash
4.    JavaScript
5.    CSS
6.    HTML

Server-side languages

Server-side scripting includes a method utilized by developers to construct the back-end of a site.

Why is this so important for your new website? The web browser’s storage is restricted by an end user’s computer, so sites have to host the images and files which make the website work within a database upon a web server.

Server-side scripting will involve building the framework which permits the database upon a web server to communicate with a web browser of an end user’s computer. In order to make it work, a developer will embed scripts in the site so that, as someone utilizing your website takes a certain action, the server may display information or set images. Also, server-side code is inherently more secure, as an individual who uses your site has no direct accessibility to source code, data, or proprietary databases beyond what specifically is shown to them.

Below include server-side language examples:

1.    Ruby
2.    Python
3.    PHP
4.    Java
5.    C
6.    ASP.NET

Database technologies

The last skill set to look for when you hire a web developer includes the database technologies they’re familiar with. To properly work, all websites need a database to store their images, code, files and additional data.

These RDBMS (relational database management systems) include the most popular for web base applications:

1.    MongoDB
2.    Apache
3.    IBM DB2
4.    MySQL
5.    Microsoft SQL Server
6.    Oracle
