Yes, my first customers! But i don't know how much to charge him :(

But in fixed price consulting projects there is another huge risk, and this must be kept in mind. The customer will "always" come with changes along the way. (modifications, extensions, he sees the first GUI : "How about adding a button for this?", "I really need a graph of this too", "I need to add this data to the database, but the app must remain compatible with the old DB" ) That will cost you extra work. So... methinks you need to have the guts to inform your customer that such changes will add to the total cost of the job. Not so east, especially if both customer and consultant are relatively fresh in the business of ordering/delivering contract work. And when he comes with those changes during the project (trust me he will, everybody does), you must stand up and hold your ground. You need to agree that: "Change Requests will be charged on a per case basis.", depending on your relation to the guy you may put it down in writing (good idea) or agree verbally. Good Luck!

Need custom software developed? I do custom programming based primarily on MS tools with an emphasis on C# development and consulting. I also do Android Programming as I find it a refreshing break from the MS. "And they, since they Were not the one dead, turned to their affairs" -- Robert Frost
Thanks, the calculator is quite helpful! :thumbsup:

Hmmm, I would recommend going with WinForms with C# given your experience/qualification. The jump to basic C# shouldn't be any problem, but maybe you should look at something like MS LightSwitch, which allows you to build apps using a designer and very little code. Also, you can always shout if you need any help. Where do you stay?

Hey Brady, The guy want me to develop the application for him and want me to be his partner. He is starting a business. :thumbsup: C# is the easiest language to learn in the world. :) I have been developing the application and haven't had any problem so far. I am also working on another project. (Big money) I have to use machine learning in that project. Which is great because machine learning is my area of expertise. The only problem is that i have to develop an internet user interface. I'm still trying to get used to desktop applications :( Anyway, i would just like to know if your offer still stands. I will be needing help soon. I spend my days in my room in front of my computer and really don't know anyone else who can help me. Please let me know.
