Treat it as two companies. Don't mix the two.

I think I'd go for Development Compay because I'll be starting with my Uncles company. i'll be creating a workflow system for them. It'll be a great start for my team. Thanks!
-
How big will your team be?
-
What development platforms are you looking at?

Good Luck I hope you can do it pretty soon

@Reid-Cooper As of now, I want to start from 5 to 8 people. I would like to build a solid team before expanding.

@StrongBad We'll be using .Net (VBt/C#,ASP.Net), Java Script,PHP and we'll try to advance in using Objective-C if ever.
-
@Joyfano Thanks! Many Thanks!

Very Windows focused and some Mac. Nothing more neutral like Java, Groovy, Scala, Clojure, Ruby or Python?

Yeah, we're in the Philippines that's why. Most of the companies here uses windows.

I do like .NET. One reason is because the libraries are nearly identical between the web side (ASP.NET) and the desktop side. If going down the .NET route, I definitely recommend C# as it uses more common syntax (very similar to PHP, Java, Javascript, etc...). .NET has TONS of libraries for doing tasks. On the flip side, there are many libraries for PHP as well to do things like this. This being said, Javascript is also a must if doing any web app. There will almost always be the need for some client-side functionality and JavaScript is what you'll usually need to do it.

Or F# instead of C#. Lots of high end development prefers F#.

That gained traction huh? I've been out of that game for a few years.
-
F# gets all the serious attention these days. C# still gets the bulk of development.

Agreed. C# will be our main platform.

I can't say that, I'ts just that windows is very common here.

@pol.darreljade Why would it be so common if money isn't in abundance? It is a relatively rare development platofrm in the US and in Europe because of the very hogh cost associated with using it - it is expensive to license, expensive to support and the mainline development tools for it are quite costly. For desktops, sure. But for servers running applications, it is definitely a niche choice for companies looking to spend a lot of money or for shops looking to spend money on technology and save money on developers since Windows development is generally cheaper as it is in less demand.
