Software development for big money ideas!

equality7-2521

Hi guys- I've been a loooooooong time reader of MSE, and have used a lot of information. Strangely, I thought I was being quite savvy with money, but realised recently than I haven't... I'm trying to cut down the debt I do have, but also work something for the other side and increase what I make.

After reading through this site, I realised some people have some ideas for money making on the side (a great idea!) and I have some web development skills, a lot of web applications, search engine optimisation, databases etc. I thought that maybe there are some MSEs out there who have the ideas but not the skill in this area, maybe it's useful? Maybe there are bartering opportunities?

cheers

Would you be able to tell me (either here or in a PM) what sort of experience you have? I like the idea of a joint venture.

I come from a software background, so generally writing software, databases, web applications. I mainly work with Microsoft ASP.NET (C#), SQL Server and JavaScript. I'd say I have a mixture of skills covering the whole development process, though mainly at the "doing" side rather than the visuals.

I've got experience of a lot of other things too (PHP, mysql, C++ etc.), but I use the above every day, been working in software since I graduated, and ideally would do more for myself!

This interests me also. Years and years ago I programmed but now my skills set in in e-comms, strategy, design. I work for a large ad agency managing their European digital programme.

I have a couple of personal projects, which I think are cracking ideas, that I'd love to collaborate on with a developer.

One for twitter, one multi platform for starters.

How do we kick this off?

PM perhaps we can chat and see if our skills match your needs, not sure for twitter but java is the way to go for multiplatform

Depends on what you want to do, some multi-platform stuff is best delivered through the web as you can view it on your iPhone/PC/mac/fridge/watch/PDA/laptop/TV etc. if it is special software then Java (or some other languages) can cover a few platforms.

I work in online doing SEO and PPC stuff at the moment (or programming for it), so maybe we share more skills than we thought.

I think PM or set up something away from here maybe, as I am sure that the techy stuff might get too dull for MSE's!!

I am happy to help anyone with any questions or ideas.
