I'm working on a provisioning system (C# on .NET 3.5) and I'll be busy myself in a few weeks time, so I'll need a WCF wiz to complete the work.

The code is in three projects: a class library project where all the provisioning code exists, a WinForms GUI frontend application (which currently calls the provisioning code directly which runs in-proc), and a Windows Service project (incomplete). In future I'm wanting to add an ASP.NET client.

The idea is the Windows Service project will run the provisioning code and it will interface with the WinForms and ASP.NET clients using WCF.

I've already architectured the solution such that all the data that's needed is converted into a series of business objects that are passed between the WinForms client and the provisioning code, so all that's left is getting WCF to work with it. I hope it's that simple.

Feel free to PM me with your quotation and time estimate.

Looking for a programmer to work on a web based simulation racing game. Much like Goallineblitz, court rival, cyberpuck, ,etc etc. I am open to what language it can be programmed in. I would like it to have a phone app and be extremely user friendly. I have it all written out with base calculations and concepts in place. I just need a programmer to bring it to life. This is not a super complex or graphic heavy game. No deadlines or strict time line needs to be followed( within reason ). The programmer would be a 49% partner in the game and split the profits from it's success. If anyone is interested in this project please send an email to
ewarner9445@yahoo.com

The Yahoo address doesn't help either.

It's the project owner's responsibility to take on risk, not the contractor; if your business idea's strong enough then you can easily get a loan from close relatives or a bank to pay for the contractor's fee.

The fact you have no hard deadlines also puts potential applicants off because it hints you're not taking the project that seriously nor have it all set-out.

Every time I've been approached in real-life by people I know who wanted me to work for them in exchange for a cut of the profits all ended up failing in their business prospect and I'm glad I never wasted my time with any of them.

Come back with a solid business plan and some capital, then we can talk.

Yup. One of two things is going to happen. Let's say for sake of argument, you spend 50 hours on this "easy as pie!" project, and your rate is $100/hr. So, there's $5,000 of work you've put in. EIther A) The game / idea / whatever will fail (which is most likely,) and you've pissed away $5k of :effort: or B) the game / idea / whatever takes off an makes millions, and the owner just gave away millions/2 when he could have gotten the work for $5k, which makes the owner an idiot, and nobody wants to work for an idiot! :)

But there is a lot of middle-ground between the extremes of A and B, I know a few people who have developed web-based adventure games (similar to Kingdom of Loathing) who are doing alright from it, pulling down about $20,000 a year in revenue from sales of in-game credits and advertising.

...but for those people it's now their full-time jobs, and considering all the time they put into curating their communities (by writing textual content and moderating the playerbase) they're getting a hard deal for their annual $20k, and I doubt they'd be willing to give away 49% of that to the developer they hired for a month at the beginning.

Conclusion: speculative work for a % of the profits never works for anyone.

Company I work for is looking for someone immediately for a 2-3 week period.

Would prefer someone able to come in to the office. We're in midtown Manhattan.

We are looking for someone with experience in using the Google Maps API v3 (via JavaScript). The application is built in PHP/mySQL on CodeIgniter - familiarity with that would be great, but the primary need is someone who can handle complicated tasks with the mapping - here's a short list of what to expect -

- Creation/manipulation of custom-placed markers, circles, and polylines
- Adding additional Google Maps features (Drag & Zoom, Radius Display)
- Creating custom events on map
- Multiple KMLLayers displayed on the map at once
- Using DirectionsService to get distance, display distance in miles and feet, ability to drag markers & polyline and have distance updated automatically
- Retrieving a list of all markers visible in your viewport (not on the map as a whole) to be able to pass to PHP in order to create an Excel spreadsheet of items
- Import of items from an Excel spreadsheet to be displayed on the map in real time (the actual import would be done in PHP of course, so would likely be an AJAX call to send the Excel, with a JSON return to JavaScript with the lat/lngs and other info)

Some of those tasks are 90% completed already (or more), but mainly listed to give an idea of the API knowledge preferred.

If you're already extremely adept with the maps API v3, being able to work remotely could be a possibility.

PM me if this sounds like something you'd be interested in.

////I WANT

After reading through this I'm not really sure who I should contact to work on my project, as I can't seem to figure out what the best platform for it would be.

To keep it simple, I need some kind of web app created that can create a price based on a number fed into it (price scales linearly with the number inputted), and establish a PayPal transaction based on this price, using what I assume will be their Payflow Link, although I'm probably wrong. There will also be some stuff happening both before and after this transaction, but I'd rather talk about all that on the phone or in person.

I'm located in the NYC area (Hoboken) but can meet in the city any time after 5:30 weekdays, or anytime on weekends.

I do have a budget in mind but we can talk about that after I explain everything, if anyone is interested in working on this. It's pretty generous so don't be shy and shoot me a PM or email me at my personal email which is kyletoman [atttttt] gmail

Tl;DR I have an artistic vision involving the internet and transfer of money for a service, but I lack advanced coding knowledge and would like to hire you outright to do this work for me. Unless of course after hearing the idea you prefer a share, but I understand that is frowned upon plus I have cash in hand already put aside for this.

Sort-of; you'd use PayPal's Website Payments Standard with IPN.

This kind of thing is trivial: you can write it in any web-app language. If I were hiring a PHP developer to build the system and basic HTML (not including any of the visual design aspects, though many PHP devs are alright at web-design) I don't believe it should cost me more than $500 for a simple single-page that does this:

if( formSubmitted ) {

price = k * valueSubmitted;

renderPayPalConfirmationButtonLink(price);

} else {

renderOrderForm();

}

...then the post-order processing can happen in the IPN callback code.

As a guideline for something with a good visual web design, maybe $750-$1000 tops; more mercenary designers/developers would try to squeeze more money out of out if they think you'll be making a pretty penny from your website.

Hello, VS 2010 .NET 4 C# WPF Wizards! I've got a WPF data binding job for you. I believe it's quite simple, I just don't have any more time to spend on such things myself.

Details: I want to highlight (and un-highlight) a few controls based on a property of an object which implements INotifyPropertyChanged. The object is in an ObservableCollection which is set to the DataContext, being displayed in a ListBox. The SelectedItem is being further displayed in a number of TextBoxes. I have a nice little working example in a self-contained VS 2010 project, most of the work is done. I'll send screenshots complete with crappy mspaint arrows of exactly what I want. I'll send you the project, you get 'er done and send it back to me.

Email "ep@ <my username> .com" your hourly rate, and how long you've been working with WPF.

I need a developer to build a search app for my site.

We are a distibutor of wine to three states (NY, NJ, CT) and we want consumers to have the ability to search for stores near their location that we have recently sent inventory. The data will be extracted from quickbooks. The results will be shown as pings on a map (ala google maps, perhaps using the google maps api?). The pings will be clickable to show a list of wines that we shipped to that location within the past month or so.

A few years ago we had a programmer build us a basic search app in Rebol (do any legit developers use this language?) but we want more features and we dont think that he can get us to where we want to be. Here is the search he built.

If you are interested send me some examples of search apps you have done (if any), or like totally whatever to evan@organicvintages.com

Here is a sample of the data we can output from quickbooks: http://goo.gl/wU0ZE

quote:

We want people to be able to search using a zip code, store name, borough, county, and product name.

If they search for "frey queens" show marks on the map with all the stores in queens with products that match the name frey, if none match show all stores that have frey wine.

If they search for "11570 frey merlot" show stores that are within some radius of that zip code and match that wine name. If there are none in that area widen the search to all stores.

If they search for the name of a wine show all stores with that wine (It won't be too many)

ask me about my brothel
Hello!

On Tuesday, I received a call asking if I could build two websites in the next ten days. I told them I could. I guess the investor has been funding this project since March, and the company's main source of revenue is a website, and they still don't have one. I'm currently working on all of that poo poo, which is considered "Phase One".

Phase Two will begin in January, which is the building of a site with similar functionality to Kickstarter. I have been put in charge of creating the site, as well as constructing my team to do it. My background is in design, but I have a strong sense of UI and functionality.

I am looking for a Ruby On Rails developer that I can work closely with over the next few months to make this company's dream a reality. We're looking for a critical thinker, not a robot. The job would initially be from January-March, with a good chance of being hired on full-time if that is your desire.

We are located off the 405 in Hermosa Beach, and need our developer to work in-house. I'm moving up temporarily from San Diego come January, so if you need to move here, together we would have a better chance of finding a cheap place to rent.

Found somebody.
