Custom software development

No, not design. But a few testing and documentation. _____________________________________________ Tozzi is right: Gaia is getting rid of us. My Blog [ITA] - Developing ScrewTurn Wiki 1.0b...

he probably work in C or C++ my boss is working ObjectiveC and write pages a day (1000+ lines) I'm porting his code to windows. I'm much slower. However I achieve the same as results with just a tenth of C# code :laugh:

don't understimate testing. they won't do business with you again if it's broken!

No, C# (ASP.NET). :) _____________________________________________ Tozzi is right: Gaia is getting rid of us. My Blog [ITA] - Developing ScrewTurn Wiki 1.0b...

That's what I use... C++ :~ Of course, I'm not actually a software engineer... I'm one of the evil hardware guys ;)

In general if you get paid to develop something they own the source and it is unfair to ask otherwise however you can ask for rights to the code as well assuming it does not use proprietary methods. Ask them your (going rate * number of hours) - (going rate * ignorance). Do not ask for below market rate unless (1. you suck, 2. it is a non-profit, or 3. you have a personal relationship with them). As for giving them the source, they own it.

We already decided that I own the source. :) _____________________________________________ Tozzi is right: Gaia is getting rid of us. My Blog [ITA] - Developing ScrewTurn Wiki 1.0b...

Then you cheated them. They took all of the risk and you got all of the rewards. After all you didn't develop the software at your own expense and then market it to them. While it is certainly legal to do so and not a violation of the ACM code of ethics it still doesn't pass the would you want your mother to know about it test.

:confused: Could you explain that? Understood! My mother (and father, and sister, and friends) already know the whole story... Anyway, I think it is ethic and fair, since I explained them (the customers) that I'm going to try to sell the software to someone else too, but I give them exclusive rights on one specific feature they requested. So, as we say in Italy, clear pacts, long friendship (or something like that). :) _____________________________________________ Tozzi is right: Gaia is getting rid of us.
