I am in the **initial **research phase of a software project.
The finished project will be a "system" in which multiple users interact with a host server via mobile devices. I am looking mostly for answers and recommendations regarding the architecture (what type of database, what type of server, etc) I need to execute my design objectives.
This is very preliminary, so I have only a few questions right now. I am only looking to pay $5 to $10 per question, but informative advice will likely lead to subsequent contracts.
I am looking for a person/team with experience building a system - not just an iPhone app and not just a server, but both; the focus is on the interaction and the data manipulation. Please include past projects (references and examples are highly desired). ENGLISH AS PRIMARY LANGUAGE ONLY PLEASE.
