Ask HN: Experience with freelance development that is Not web dev or mobile?
Curious to what sort of applications you've made and how you got into it? Languages used? Thanks!
- flashm 10y agoCheque writing software, written in COBOL. Got the work through a family friend, it's his business. I had to learn COBOL (managed through Visual Studio these days thank god) and have ended up contributing to the main application, converting Microsoft c++ and c# examples into COBOL, e.g Gdi32 printing, windows forms, wpf and so on. Luckily as it's Managed COBOL and based on .NET you can call classes written in C++/C# so I've been doing that where possible! Good fun and completely different to my usual line of Web Dev.
