Hello everyone,
I am looking for someone with a good amount of experience in the programming field who I can ask some questions. I am not a programmer myself, and I don't expect that I will be learning programming any time soon. The reason I am looking for someone with a range of experience is because I am forming a small business alongside some other people, and we need to prepare some job postings. As such, I am hoping to establish a dialogue with someone who I can talk to about what sort of things we would like our programmers to be able to accomplish, so that they can then make recommendations about what we would need to post in the required experience/education section of our job listings. I am not seeking applicants at this time, simply trying to find an advisor that can help us make a great job listing.
Please let me know if you think you could help in accomplishing this!
Thank you

Maybe a good IT recruiter can help more? You will need one anyway, and he or she will be able to find many other specialist you'll need

I'd suspect that you may be getting ahead of yourself a little, possibly. You're talking about hiring a programmer; to me, that implies that you already have the business analyst, a systems designer, an interface designer, trainer, ops analyst, security specialist, capacity planner, tester and other roles all defined or filled...
Before assigning job titles, take a long look at what your business needs doing, when and for how long, then think about the budget you have, and whether it's best to do some of these tasks in-house or use external resources. (If all you need is a marketing website, you won't need a "programmer" - just use an external agency. It doesn't matter to you if there's one person fulfilling all these roles or twenty). What are your timescales? How fast will your business grow, and what are the drivers for expansion of IT capabilities?
It may well be that you actually do decide you need one person, to do all this stuff (including programming), - or perhaps even a team of programmers - but my gut instinct tells me you're not at that decision point yet.
Happy to be a sounding board for you (message me via CP or cp@smallofficesolutions.co.uk); am in the UK not US but the principles are the same!

Hi, I am fresher and I want to know what is a difference between SQL Lite and SQL server.
|
|
|
|
|
In short; SQL Server is a complete database-server, capable of handling multiple clients. It is used to share data.
SQLite is a simple and quick local database, serving a single client, mostly used for local data-storage.

That's the part I can't figure out difference between $(this) and this keyword in jQuery?
I'll have your answer, guys!
|
|
|
|
|
Not unless you post in the correct forum, and provide some proper details of your problem. Have you looked at the jQuery documentation?
|
|
|
|
|
this is a javascript keyword, representing the current javascript class.
$(this) wraps this into a jQuery object, able to apply and act upon it using jQuery methods.

Hi,
I'm an experienced C# dev who wants to set up own business and I want to know what is the best route to getting clients.
I have a client at the moment and will finish project in about 5 weeks but I don't know where to source future clients (UK based preferably). There is another project coming up within the same company but I'm not counting my chickens (although I have been promised a good reference by current client/department).
EDIT: If you're wondering why I don't just get a job like everyone else? Well the reason is because I've been in hospital (psychiatric) twice and have two four year gaps in my CV and no one wants to take a chance on me (understandable? maybe).

That is a sales - as in how does one sell.
Best route is by word of mouth. They come to you.
Next one is networking. Your current client (the people there) put you in touch with someone else. Otherwise you need to use your own contacts.
After that you have the hard route - cold calling. Find prospects, try to get a meeting with them and convince them you can provide value for what you are selling.

Perhaps there is a government or charity outreach that can provide referrals specifically for someone in your type of position.

That's how I got here, despite the gaps
If you can teach, I'd suggest you add that to the list of services provided. Might not be as much fun as coding, but it may help to pay the bills. And go out a lot; any software-related presentation, show, anything with computing - go out and talk to people.

And could lead to jobs.

Local clubs might lead to some convention invites which in turn can either lead to jobs and/or establish more of of a reputation when attempting to sell.

When I first started consulting I spent a lot of time at user groups for the tools I used, not sure they still exist though.
But yeah cold calling is a bitch, best bet is networking and even that is a lot of work.

I need a software for my hardware shop. Can anyone help?
|
|
|
|
|
If you need custom software for specific hardware then you would need to
1. Create appropriate specifications, both functionality and target OS.
2. Find someone to create it for you. You could look to either paying or doing profit sharing.
If you want to sell software then you would find a vendor that would sell to you and you sell it. Just like any other product in a shop.
|
|
|
|
|
What kind of software exactly?
|
|
|
|
|
Hi. I can made for you any kind of software, in C++, just give me details about. Write me an email to flaviu2@yahoo.com
|
|
|
|
|
HI, if you are looking for software for your hardware shop then first you have to finalize your requirements, for which purpose you are looking for. So, it will be helpful for you.

Any US based freelancers (1099) hold indemnity insurance? If so, who provides (which insurance company) and how much does it cost?
Thanks
|
|
|
|

As a freelancer, I wouldn't even contemplate working without Professional Indemnity insurance. It *might* be OK if you're delivering a non-mission critical standalone app and don't *ever* go anywhere near the clients' servers or collect any data. But in practice I wouldn't sleep at night without it, especially as I frequently have to make changes to the clients' servers, manage confidential data, and write systems that are central to my clients' businesses. Never had to claim on it, but that's not the point - it's knowing it's there.
I'm in the UK so can't recommend any US providers.
