The best way to hire a good programmer is learning, read books, find open source projects, use frameworks and make your owns.Quote:
Good and high quality programmers are difficult to get hold of thees days.
What do You mean with that You are not one of them?
If you want something good, do it yourself, I mean, I'm working on Alexya and I though in using CakePHP as a framework, it's really cool but I don't like the way it's structured (I don't dislike MVC but the way files exists in CakePHP) so I decided to make it from 0 and it is the best way to do something like that :)
