Guys,
I'm just looking for a little input on pricing.
Basics of project:
Inventory Management
Inventory showcasing
E- commerce
Normally, I have a guy who comes to me with a job and says "here's the job,
I'll give you $500 for it." I will usually take it because I just do this
on the side and am putting all the money I can into a house downpayment and
paying off credit cards. Anyway, I am tired of working and getting
undersold. Mainly because it's all his relatives or friends for the most
part. Because of this, I don't really know what to charge on my own.
I most likely won't be designing the site but just building the back end and
setting it up with a payment processor, and possibly setting up the server.
I know this is a little vague, but I'm just looking for a little experienced
input. THNX

You should really be working out how long you think it's going to do the
project in hours (break it down into as small bits as possible to make it
easier to work out). Then work out how much you think your time is worth
and multiple the number of hours by that dollar amount. That will give you
how much you should charge for the project. And it's always a good idea to
allow more time than you *think* you'll need as it so often ends up being
more.

As Chris Hope has said, work out how many hours you think it will take to do
the job, work out how much you should be paid per hour and do the maths. But
when you are working out your hourly rate, don't forget that you need to
charge for time when you are "off the job" so to speak (eg, paperwork, etc).
Also, be sure to get a contract between yourself and the client so each
party is aware of their responsibilitie s to the other. Specify in the
contract that this is for the work agreed, and that any significant changes
may incur extra cost, and keep a paper trail of letters, minutes of
meetings, etc, so when your client says "But I didn't want that." you can
pick up a piece of paper and say "but at our meeting last Tuesday we agreed
on this, and it was confirmed in the letter I sent you on Wednesday which
you replied to on Thursday".
Also, have a good read of this: http://www.allmyfaqs.com/faq.pl?Web_design_business
Hope that helps,

Hi,
Do you consider CSHARP as THE language to be used for an ASP to .Net
migration project.
ASP .Net seems a "natural" choice but as .Net is "language neutral"
and CSHARP is positioned as THE native language
we are requesting some help/advice.
Many Thanks.

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
