However, the bigger problem (from my experience-driven POV) is that it is not so intuitively obvious that developing a network-based product using a team consisting entirely of developers who view the network as an unnecessarily complicated serial port (which, really is about the approach most developers seem to take to networking) is also doomed to a certain amount of failure.
Owen, Surely you don't mean to suggest that having someone with domain knowledge develop a set of requirements and then kick it over the wall to folks who know how to program but have no domain knowledge is a recipe for failure? That having linchpin members of the team with core competencies in both software development -and- the product-relevant knowledge domains is critical to success? Regards, Bill Herrin -- William D.
