A developer can really get screwed jumping into someone else's idea on faith. If you really believe in your idea then pay to outsource a prototype, then (since you are not a developer) show you have the business chops to bring it all together. Once you do, developers for your idea will be a dime a dozen.
- Allocator2008 19y agoOh cool, interesting, thanks. Say the idea entailed having a portal, which, in a first cut, would take uploaded xml files, parse them into business objects, process these into some other form, and output them into say, excel? So, input xml --> parse --> compute --> output excel to the user. Could I pay like some India company to whip up a prototype portal for this on the cheap? Like in the range of 1 or 2 K ? Thanks much.
- ardit33 19y agoha, good luck with that. you will really need it.
- powerflex 19y agoI don't know the cost... but I do know that parsing xml and outputting excel is not all that sophisticated. However you'll need a more concrete application of the process to get some bytes built. Hit craigslist software developers up for some quotes to get a better idea of what you need to move forward (dont hire anyone yet!).
