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.

Thank you!

What if drivers were hired like programmers?

The problem with "we'll pay you later" is who, exactly, is going to pay my mortgage for the next year that it's going to take me to write your game?

Are you after programmers who live with their parents?

Edit: Again, you're using "coders" and "programmer". What do these terms mean to you?

I'm pretty sure no one here is trying to be a dick, but the truth is you're asking for something ridiculous.

Firstly, anyone with the skills required to actually see a full game engine through is most likely already employed. Exactly zero developers are going to leave their job to work for free, for a largely unknown amount of time, on the basis that a product "might" take off.

Secondly, one developer? One? Ok, there are superstars out there, but it's highly unlikely that any one person knows everything about everything. And if they are such a superstar, they're employed, see point #1.

Thirdly, you keep saying "coders" and "programmers", your terms are all fishy (level designers and modelers are not "coders", programmers don't "manipulate C++"), they don't make sense, which makes us think that you don't really know what's going on. A coder is someone who writes code. i.e. a programmer. (There are slightly differing views on the responsibilities of a software programmer/developer/engineer/architect.)

So whether you know it or not, it sounds like you're looking for a student or equivalent basement-dweller with no bills to pay, who is willing to blow an inordinate amount of time for probably no return, and probably doesn't have the required skillset anyways.

Developer Wanted

Location: Toronto, ON
Contact: ep@epswing.com

We're looking for C# and/or C++ developers, especially if you're familiar with (alert, incoming buzzwordz!) LINQ, WPF, WCF, MSMQ.

Our software products involve industrial plant automation (eg. opening and closing material gates, controlling conveyor belts, monitoring material flow, reading weigh scales and pulse meters, all in real time) and product dispatch (eg. dispatching orders to production plants, monitoring fleets of delivery trucks via GPS, load-balancing and optimizing workload across multiple production locations).

We're a Microsoft shop, we use the latest software tools and technologies (Visual Studio, SQL Server, Message Queuing, LINQPad) and organizational tools (distributed version control, issue tracking, internal wiki), and our core competency is C# and C++, so you can expect to be writing in one (or eventually both!) of these languages.

Fire me an email for more details!

Just curious, and don't think I'm picking on you specifically because I see this every once in a while, but why are you

"working for some company but I won't tell you which!"

"and we're owned by a bigger company but that's also a big secret!"

The first question is going to be "hey uh which company? oh ok, let's proceed" so why not just get that out of way right off the bat?

JOB OFFER

Looking to add a full time ASP.NET MVC & WebAPI dev to our team. Our software products involve industrial plant automation (eg. opening and closing material gates, controlling conveyor belts, monitoring material flow, reading weigh scales and pulse meters, all in real time) and product dispatch (eg. dispatching orders to production plants, monitoring fleets of delivery trucks via GPS, load-balancing and optimizing workload across multiple production locations).

Our office atmosphere is casual. There is no strict dress code, and working hours are flexible. Our team is highly autonomous and we don't micromanage (which is why we favour candidates who have written code outside of work/school, and can run with new ideas). We work in a fairly niche market and sell to clients all over North America and the Caribbean. We're a fun group with a sense of humor, and we work hard to produce and support usable, effective software.
