You might also take a look here: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/macsb/

It's a group of mac software developers with businesses.

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
