$15-25 AUD / hour

I have a Foxpro written database and html template system which creates a Learning Management System. It is a good 13 years old. I am looking for some advice on what would be the best way to go on updating this Learning Mangement System and am open to the best ideas and why. I have heard from a collegue that I should use Python and Flask with a Mysql database. Please let me know what you think you can do with this. I have some example code I can send you if you think this job is for you.

Dear there That seems your LMS really good. It has run for a long time. I think I could work on that. Python maybe a good choice, but Im not sure about using Flask in your project ( this is an python microframework for web) If your LMS is quite simple, why we don't go with PHP / MySQL? Let me know your idea. Thanks & B/R

Hi, I would suggest you to go for C# ASP.Net with MSSQL conversion. in that case you can later go for scale up for system with Windows Azure Cloud hosting... which provide you long hosting support with scalability,reliability and availability. Regards, Narendra

Experienced developer and architect, with in-depth knowledge of LMS and relevant LMS standards such as SCORM and TinCan. I would suggest a brief chat to refine your requirements. Also, I would recommend to make this a fixed price project as you will get better value, but this is entirely up to you. If you are interested, I would like to hear more about your goals and requirements for the software, and based on this, I can recommend a technology stack to deliver this efficiently. BTW, I have a little experience of FoxPro, though it has been a while :)

Hello Sir. I am expert Python developer with over 12 years experience. I have solid knowledge in Flask, it is my favourite framework. I work fast, provide clean and well documented code and can start working right now. As of your questions: 1. Python is great language and it is advisable (though there might be other languages to consider, depends on what exactly the system should do) 2. Flask is very lightweight, fast and scalable web framework. It is very flexible and indeed very advised. There is a chance that Django framework will suit your project more but I can suggest it only to very large scale applications. So again - depends on specifications, mostly Flask is better to use. 3. MySQL is a NO. It have lots of long standing issues which are not going to be fixed anytime soon. Depends on the project specifications I can advise to use postgresql or NoSQL database. If you will provide me a little bit more info about the system I will be able to suggest more precise. Looking forward to hear from you, Alex

Dear Job owner, Greetings! I presume you want the application to be specifically web based. I would suggest as follows: Web: PHP/MySQL, the most trusted open source combination, would do best to the conversion. Standalone: If you use it personally (ie not selling it to public or use it only within one of your business circle), why don't you just shift the DB from native VFP to MySQL? This can be achieved with minimal tweaking of existing software (I assume it is currently in VFP 9.0). Alternatively, if the data is not going to be huge, you can even use Microsoft SQL Server Express edition (free edition), which gives up-to 10GB per DB. Even though the specifications are not given, in both scenarios, you can attach many new features to the application through native methods and/or integration of 3rd party plug-ins. 1. My Experience Summary: 15+ years in Foxpro 8+ years in VFP, MSSQL, 3+ years in VB 2+ years in .NET, C#, HTML5, PHP, MySql 2. My Development Approach: a. Understanding your requirement: - Discussions on Skype/emails. - Functional/Technical documentation, if you have. b. Development process: - preferably at my end in my system. - addressing in between modifications. - sharing of sample data, if available. c. Delivery of trial versions: - regular trial versions for your review. d. Delivery of Full version: - After your acceptance. Looking forward for a Win-Win association with you. Thanks Rajesh Karunakaran

I hereby submit my offer to upgrade your Leaning Management System. I specialize in building solutions for the Education Sector and over 20 years Foxpro/Visual FoxPro experience. I will also bring direct experience upgrading and Re-writing Visual FoxPro solutions. Based on previous experience, I recommend that you move the Visual FoxPro application to Visual Basic together with your MySQL Database. Visual Basic is the most FoxPro Like language in the Microsoft pantheon and application extensions also exist to make it easier to use .Net extensions. In addition, Visual Basic can work easily with MySQL and also offers the possibility of running on Linux based systems through the Visual Basic Mono compiler. I propose to rewrite your application using Visual Basic. I shall supply documented source code, application Users Guides and also warranty the application for 1 year. Please contact me if you have questions on any or all aspects of my offer.

I feel particularly suited to this task as I am an experienced web designer and programmer using Python-Flask. I am confident that I can deliver satisfactory work based on the fact that I am working on my personal project that bears resemblance of some sort to a learning management system. I am innovative, creative and enjoy my work and hence you can count on me to contribute ideas and come up with implementation solutions where need be. I believe that communication is key and strive to adhere to this belief, therefore, I am confident that I will deliver satisfactory work if not more. I look forward to hearing from you soon and I am eager to establish a working relationship with you. It will be an honour to work on this project as it may also provide me clarity for my side-project too. Thank you in advance.

Greetings! We have extensive experience in similar projects (including, interestingly enough, converting a Foxpro application into Python). I could see going with Flask+MySQL, which is a pretty good framework for such things (although the choice of database is fairly arbitrary). Of course FoxPro is self contained while the choice of Flask and MySQL obviously needs hosting and is not generally run on a local computer. In any case, these are things we have a lot of experience with and we could discuss many options.

I am an expert Software Architect and lots of experience in VFP, Python, PHP and Visual Studio. If I were you I would stay within Microsoft products as there are many advantages to reuse whatever you have, assuming you are happy with the system's processes, constraints, and rules. I am happy to help but unfortunately $25 per hour is too low for us in Australia. Good luck with it. If you need any VFP coding done, I would be happy to do that too. Cheers Charles

Conversion to Visual FoxPro 9 is the easiest as 98% of the code is unchanged. You will send me the code and sample data, and I will give you a quote after I analyze the system.
