Firm in search of a mac programmer

[Michael H]

Our firm is accepting bids for a custom software package. Project: 64-bit, Animated user interface, written in Objective-C 2.0 in Cocoa with detailed documenting throughout program.

We will market and sale project. Currently there is no mac software available servicing our intended market.

That being said, a non-disclosure and no-compete agreement is required before detailed information of project is given.

We are interested in a fixed price bid. Our project is well-defined with detailed specifications. However, communication with several other companies to integrate project with other companies and transfer data both ways via the internet is required.

Project must integrate with iChat, iCal, Mail 3, address book, office 2008 and Quick books to name a few.

Thank you for your time.

Just a piece of advice on someone who works on a project that "must" integrate with a group of apps...

Might want to do some research (maybe with the help of someone under contract) to see how technically feasible the integration you are planning is before getting someone to commit to the full project. With Quick Books under a full re-write, for example, there are likely a few unknowns that could keep away good programmers.

I know for myself, our project has been bitten heavily whenever we committed to some feature that adds another integration point, without researching the feasibility first. In the end it wound up costing us extra time than we thought, and the feature turned out to not be as useful as we were originally hoping, and our product became harder to maintain because of every integration point we had.

Maybe you should post this through www.RentACoder.com where it can be more easily managed (including the handling of NDAs) and accessible to programmers already looking for work *ahem*.
