I apologize if I am sending this to the wrong crowd, I came across a
post on cocoabuilder.com that was asking about freelance programmers,
and saw that this list was very helpful.
I have recently come up with an idea for a small downloadable program
that I think could make a modest amount of money (Perhaps $5/license,
with a two week free trial).
The program itself is fairly simple, and I doubt it would take a
skilled programmer more than 10 hours to make it. It wouldn't
require any clever thinking to program, just knowledge about the
syntax. (As a side note, I'd like to include a simple copy
protection scheme, like a serial number, to keep people from simply
emailing the application to eachother. Is there an easy solution to
this?)
I have had some basic programming experience and could probably piece
it together using sample code from various websites, but I doubt
anything I create would be as efficient or stable as something done
by a pro. Unfortunately, as a college student, I don't have a large
amount of disposable income. What would the going rate be for a
programmer who would be up to this task? I'm looking for someone
with some genuine experience, as I will be charging a small amount of
money for the program and would like it to be as professional and
crash-free as possible.
Also, I was wondering if it would be worth it to design the interface
using Interface Builder, if nothing else as a visual aide to show
what I would like the final product to look like and what options it
should have. What is the industry standard way to diagram a program
(i.e., which window a certain button should open).
Thank you for your help,
Jason K
