    Hello Everyone,

    I am desperately in need of a reliable programmer to create some software applications for me. I keep having my time wasted by people from India wanting the job and then telling me they dont have the skills to carry it out, so I would appreciate anyone able to help me with the problem, can you recommend any programmers who create software?

    Are you a programmer yourself? I really need your help. Obviously I want the work to be done cheaply, but i want a reliable person to do it

    Thanks

    Jonathan

    I am looking for someone to create a parental control security software that keeps children safe when they are on MSn and using the internet.

    Before anyone would start offering their service let us know your budget. How much $ do you have in hand. I don't think anyone would accept some peanut fee for this kind of job. Let see who can do this job for some peanut fee.

    I've been monitoring your previous threads and looking at it I don't see any seriousness in your doing except taking advantage on others.

    I would suggest you to learn programming and do everything by yourself.

    I have a budget of $1000+ and I have had a quote from one of the best programmers around that the job can be done for $1100.

    The reason I have created so many threads is because I need someone who can actually program and create software and not someone like yourself who just asks the budget, then tells me you cant program!

    EDIT: Are there any serious programmers on DP? This is a joke that I am having to put up with people adding me who have no idea of what creating client based software involves

    What you require programming wise

    - hooking into msn/browsers,
    - intercepting incoming/outgoing content
    - algorythmically analysing
    - rejecting or rewriting content
    - possibly using some image analysis
    - operating as a secure background process invisible to normal user interception

    In my opinion, this would require the kind of heavyweight application development skills that $1000 (in the US or UK) would only buy 1 day of their time, for a job that would likely take months, unless the developer already has a similar application code base to work from.

    "one of the best programmers around said that the job can be done for $1100."
    imho, at least one part of that statement is false :rolleyes:

    That's a good offer. I should advise you to go and find another $100 and take that offer.

    Are we allowed to do this here.. doesn't this called bumping..

    I know lots of good programmer from around the world through DP. I know they are good programmer since they can understand and deliver what I want. I think you have underestimate the DP qualities and capabilities. DP is surely a place to source for good quality, programmer. I think your problem is to think that programming is an easy job, as easy as your needs. But in actual fact it's not as easy as we think. That was why, I believe, many programmer turned you down. Because after the feasibility study, they found that, your requirement was not worth the price you're paying.

    I think you need to start understanding the tasks taken for programmer to develop such application and not to always think that they are cheap labour. They are human being too, so treat them as one. Regardless where they are coming from, I always believe they should be judge based on their qualities and not from their origin. Sad to see some people always sees that programming is just another cheap labour that does not deserve to be paid equal especially if they're coming from 3rd world countries.


    I totally agree with you, mike. More people like you will build more quality programmer to come and stays here at DP.

    PS: I hope there's no hard feeling for all the statement that I've made. It's just that I've been in both shoes; as a programmer and as a client. If we correct the perception more qualities will come.

    I think you will find that alot of these functions already exist on the internet and it is just a process of finding them and altering them to fit this application! Anyway in this thread I am asking to find programmers so PLEASE STOP contributing to the thread if you are not a programmer and not interested in the project

    I can do your job with ease and many other programmers (that I know) at DP too. But you have an attitude problem which hinders us from offering any more service to you.

    Regardless how we do it, it's NOT your problem. And even if it's easy for us to do, it's our skill that you're questioning about which you have no right to argue about it. And if you think it's easy why not you do it yourself.

    We respect your enquiries. But don't start the spark by complaining about other programmers, which was not true. We've personally deal with you before, so we know what really happened. You might not know us but we know very well, how you deal with programmers before.

    Bare in mind, we didn't start this, but you did.

    PS: Please do not look at my post as an harassment to him. But I'm representing few DP programmers which has enough of this kind of attitude. For all this while we've been treated badly by people like him. The question is who will help us? NOBODY! So we have decided to voice out. So no other programmers will experience what we have gone through.

    I dont remember having dealings with you before, but I expect that your other account has been banned, so have you created a second account?

    It's up to you to guess. One thing for sure, we programmers are very close to each others. So don't think that if you hurt one person you could get away easily.

    My advise, control your attitude if you want us to support you. We don't want to create a mess, but your attitude doesn't please lots of people. And I'm not exaggerating, anyone could easily check your previous posts and judge you accordingly.
