Wrong forum, and wrong question. We are here to answer technical questions, not to write your code.

Hello.
First off, I'm sorry if this is in the wrong section. I didn't see a section for Python and did a search for it but that just returned really old posts.
I'm trying to create a Python calculator to create quotes and estimates. It would be similar to a mortgage calculator but have much more variables to deal with. I tried finding something "out of the box" because I figure I'm not the only one who needs this but couldn't find anything so my only other option would be to write it myself.
If anyone knows of a program, software or where to start trying to build my own, I'd really appreciate it.
Thank you.

Well this has nothing to do with running a business, so yes, this is the wrong place. If there is no specific forum for your subject then you can use the QA section at http://www.codeproject.com/Questions/ask.aspx[^].
As to your question, either you write it yourself, or use Google to find sample code that may fit the bill.

Normally I do not sign Work For Hire agreements.
Under what circumstances would YOU sign a Work For Hire agreement?

Whose job is it to pay the lawyers to write the software development contract, the client or the contractor?
I'm talking about a contract worth maybe five to six thousand dollars.

I would have thought it would be the client. What sort of cost for the contract to be written, could be more than the value of the work.
The 5-6k is for your work not their and your protection. I used to have a proforma contract which seemed to satisfy most needs, in the 90s

It's always the client's (contracting party) responsibility to provide any agreement required. I'd still review all the terms closely to make sure everything is acceptable to both parties. The terms can be negotiable if one of the parties strongly disagrees with something.
FYI... for that small of a contract, you can probably just look for something online that has broad terms that fit the need and attach some requirements to that, that way everybody knows what to expect when the contract ends.

|

Don't pay lawyers to do it! There are plenty of pro-forma contracts available on contracting sites (e.g. ContractorUk.com). If you are offering a service then you offer YOUR terms and conditions - that is all a contract is. If the client is not willing to accept your T&C's then it is their responsibility to offer an alternative - which you are within your rights to reject, accept or offer suggestions for amendments.
Software Development contracts are no different to any other service provided by any other supplier... negotiation may be more prevalent is all.

The same as the answer to your repost of this question.

How much would it cost to build a car?
You see how this works? If you come up with a vague statement like this, you have no idea of what the scope is of what you are trying to do. Without the scope, you cannot estimate the cost.

How much do you have?[^]
Now, if you mean a GPS receiver terminal... well, it really depends on what you want it for and what you want on it. The cost of receivers nowadays is all over the place, you can go from something really cheap like a GPS receiver module or integrated circuit to something that's commercial consumer driven to something that's military equipment. Every one of those options will have a cost that's completely different, depends on wants/needs (also known as requirements  ).

|
|
Agree on point of requirement.
Cost can be calculated on the effort.
Effort can be calculated once the requirement are freezed.
Happy Coding...

Simple; you can't. Find people you can trust.
Practical example; say I write a Memento-pattern for one of your applications, to provide Undo/Redo functionality. There's nothing stopping me from coding the same pattern in my own application. That is not a "ripp off", it is merely doing the same thing again, but in a different application.
'nother example; someone wrote a copy-protection scheme, and it needs maintenance. How could I perform maintenance, without seeing the code? Once it is seen, it can be reproduced.

Thank you for your reply,
I understand what you are saying. I am more worried about how to keep someone from stealing the entire application code for themselves.
How do I protect myself from this?

If you paid them for the work, then the ownership of the codebase is legally yours. You'd have copyright.
You could break up your application into modules, and mak sure that some of the writers have no knowledge of the other modules - but that creates more risk (what if all people with knowledge of module A are sick?) than it actually adds.
See, all the modules would come together in a setup-package. The person who goes to the client and installs the stuff might just as easily copy the entire product.
Most shops that I know of don't even think about their employees as potential liabilities. I'd be looking for work elsewhere right away.

Actually, it depends on the terms of the employment contract and the jurisdiction.
If the person is a contractor, then unless explicitly stated in the contract, they may retain copyright and IP ownership and you can only use the code for the purpose stated in the contract.

He was referring to employees, not contractors
If you give someone else the assignment (someone who is not working for you), then you need additional agreements, regardless of whether it is a contractor or another company.

You cannot hide the source code from the programmer. At any cost, at any circumstances programmer would be able to re-write the code of your application, just even if he knows what your application is doing; if that is his intent.
Since you're running the business and before hiring the programmer you should have full control over which person you are going to make a business relation with. You should first of all write your policy and other terms, that he must accept before he starts the job.
In those terms you can indicate what-so-ever you want to abide him by. But still that doesn't give a 100% guarantee that programmer would always ensure the terms being applied on him. In these cases you are always allowed to use legal jurisdiction to fight for your right (if there are some).

You could always have the programmer sign a non-disclosure/non-compete agreement.

Two steps on top of my mind:
1. Keeping core algorithms and code to yourself, with others just getting a dll to link to.
2. Making sure that the licensing algorithm and code is with you alone. You alone should hold the license generator.
|
|
|
|
|
1. You could make them partners in your company. Then they'd be stealing from themselves.
2. Give them profit sharing so that the more money the code makes the more money they make then they have no reason to steal it.
3. Pay them so handomely it would be more work to steal the code than to sit back and rake in the money you are paying them.

Is everything okay with your code and your employees now? I am about to do the same thing, I am not really good at these things. I proposed a term in the contract to prevent him from copying the code. Is this enough? Could you share what you have done? Thanks in advance

The first thing you will need is a well prepared business plan. No one is going to invest in a company unless they can see some profits coming back to them. As for projects, you need to find customers that need the skills you are offering. Take a look at some of the articles at http://www.codeproject.com/KB/work/[^], for further suggestions.

Hello, friends. I'm IT entrepreneur from Moscow with web development and linux skills. And now I starting IT outsourcing with my small team.
I have got two projects for it:
1. outsourcing web development
2. remote linux administration
So, may be you can give me some advices about it? What you want to see in outsourcing company? If you will hire remote people, how you will find them? freelance sites, google, forums, something else? Can you know another websites full of IT people, where I can talk about it as well?
May be you are an outsourcer? Can you write your success story? What you did on start?
Thank you.

Hi, I'm not an IT expert so I would be the wrong person to give you any technical advice, but I do have a beauty shop and have successfully created an online business
Currently I am selling around 40% of my products online and that number is increasing month by month. I wasn't always successful with my webshop though, I failed quite badly on my first try. At first I had problems with my webhost, didn't really have a very good website and didn't rank very high on search engines so my shop just wasn't generating enough visitors. So after about one year I decided to take my online shop down and give it a completely new try.
The second attempt worked much better. Looking back, one of the simplest but most important factors was that I did an extrensive keyword research and managed to register a domain name on here that exactly matched one of the most frequent search terms for my product line. Another factor that was really important on being successful online is knowing your audience. I decided to contact my loyal regular customers, told them about my project building an online shop and asked them what they would like to see included in it. What I found is that I had to keep the shop and the website design neat, simple and easy to navigate. I also only included around 10% of my most popular products in the store into the webshop in order to keep it simple and managable.
I'm aware that you are working in a very different field, but maybe you will find some of my experience useful. As for getting found in search engines, I would suggest you to focus on a maximum of 5 or 6 frequently used search terms in your field and try getting a matching domain name beacuse they tend to rank almost automatically on search engines.
Also being stationed in Moscow it would be better to focus on the Russian market since from my experience most clients like to hire a local company. And since Moscow is a huge city with over 12 million inhabitants, you have a huge potential customer base in Moscow alone.
Hope you find some of the advice useful, eventhough I can't give you any IT and web dev specific advice

I am a developer, i have observed that there are no good or big software projects like a high traffic ecommerce project in freelance websites like Odesk, elance etc. Most of the projects are
Not serious,
Fake,
Low budgeted etc.
There are few good projects.
In software companies you can find serious projects, compared with freelance projects. What is the reason?
Some project managers said one reason is
It is because for Big projects needs to work in teams, So it can't be given to individuals and also communication problems etc.
Thanks

I don't think there are very capable people on those sites. Most of the projects I was passing on due to my own work-loads were big projects and never completed because of the lack of professional experience by the applicant.
And two, I think most people who use those sites looking for work, are also not as professional as they so astute make themselves look. To me, it is a site for those who want to make a quick buck by doing a half-ass job.
A professional job posting system would and should test your authenticity of your qualifications before allowing you to apply to job positions. There are many job postings offering good pay for professional contractors.

I have had mixed results (as a vendor) using services from companies like Elance, and I agree with your assessment here.
Elance, specifically, was purchased by Upwork not too long ago, and I see that Upwork introduces features for testing and validating the authenticity of freelancers' qualifications. Do you see this as a step in the right direction?
Do you think it will have a measurable impact on the quality of freelancers (and/or vendor experience) using this platform?

It is a fact that many business projects fail either partially or completely. Many studies demonstrate this. And I suspect that many of those failures are attributed to project management failures.
Thus a project manager probably isn't the best source to evaluate why a broad category of projects fail.
Below is one stat for Apache server, which is a public domain and open source server. From it 60% usage from the top (usage) 10 million web sites in the world. How do those "project managers" explain that success? (There are a vast number of addons for apache.) There are many more examples of this.

pandu web dev wrote: said one reason is
One reason individual projects fail is just due to lack of interest when there are very few participants. An initial project needs several dedicated enthusiasts who spend years actively supporting a project until many people start using it. If the first doesn't happen then the second wont.
I am not going to research it in detail but I know for a fact that there used to be a free shopping cart system written in perl. There might be something now in a different language. You can try googling for that.

i am a software developer in Visual basic 6.0. i want to know that may i need any licencee from microsoft to develop any application in vb 6. if yes, please let me inform that from where i can can purchase this paper licence, because microsoft has already stopped the services from vb 6.
please give me the answer
thanks in advance
|
|

|

VB 6.0 is long dead so I doubt that Microsoft would care what you developed with it. You should also be aware that no business is likely to want to buy applications developed in such an old and unsupported language.

Hi
I've working alone in my web business for quite long, and I'm willing to start a bigger project that will need to involve more coders.
I hire frelancer from time to time, but I will need now more than one coder and designer working together in the same project. What could be the better way to manage this team of remote workers? is there any web solutions to manage that? How can I do it knowing that they will not steal the project?
Thank you!

You and they must work in a jurisdiction where legal contracts can be enforced.

I work a lot with indians. Its a full qualified and less expensive labor.
But I've not worked in a full project with them, just smaller jobs.
