Rent a Coder Sites, Thoughts?

[+John Teacake MVC]

Daft Question, Well I think it is.

I am interested in paying a coder for a very small project. I have a need and I have the programming ability but due to the lack of time and been out of the game a while I am thinking that it would be easy enough for someone to do who is doing this thing day in day out. I was thinking about these so called "Rent a coder" sites. But I have no experience of these what so ever, So can anyone point me in the right direction, Which are the most popular?. How easy are they to get onto?. What is your overall experience of them?

Basically I want a program that can import a CSV file (Same format every time). Run some simple query's on it (Statistical stuff which in SQL terms isn't hard to work out, Just averages etc) and display the information on a nice GUI front end. Maybe users can drill down from selections.

It would take someone a day or two max.

Of course if anyone on Neowin is interested, PM me.

I am actually interested in this as well as I have an app I would like to port to iPhone and Android in the near future.

I haven't used any sort of site like you mention, but your project sounds fairly simple and I'm sure someone here may have the time to help.

I would actually like to help out, but I'm not fully comfortable in my coding abilities just yet. Perhaps once I'm finished this final year of my System Analyst course.

I could do that, but I'd have to know about exactly what kind of statistics and what kind of GUI front end. I just completed a very similar project for a company here... CSV input file, generated a set of statistics and different specialized graphs for acoustic emissions detection/inspection of pressure vessels.

Donation coder is a good place to look. :) You donate a set amount and if the programmer agrees to the amount you set, then you get what you want coded.

Seems easy enough, pm me your requirements, sample csv & budget - will let you know if I'll do it for the budget :).

Glad I got some replys. I actually like that I can get people on Neowin.

Basically the data is from a Large Online Gambling company, Specifically related to Horses (For the moment) It would be fairly easy to manipulate the data, Again I have been out of the software world for a while so I know the idea and how I would do it I just need to implement it.

I could be persuaded to do some kind of profit share if the little app is good enough. However thats the second part of my plan.

So I would input a CSV file (Maybe two or three, As they are split into weeks worth of data) and then it would pick out each race by day (This is all listed), How many times a particular jockey or horse has won at that course and the average odds of the bets for Pre Event or In Play bets.

Donation Coder is exactly what I was looking for thanks!
