Tips for Finding an Affordable Palm OS Developer
With the recent release of the Palm SDK, the demand for Palm development has increased dramatically. In the future, the Palm App Store is expected to grow at an impressive rate and now is the time to bring your app idea to the Palm App Store with the help of a talented developer.
So if you’ve thought about the development you need to do (I recommend doing this before you start looking for a developer), now you need to locate a talented developer to bring your development to life.
Before you start looking for a Palm developer, make sure you:
1. Have your project described in detail in writing
2. Set a budget
3. Realize what you want AND don’t want (this makes the development process easier)
Places to look for your developer:
1. Craigslist: Surprisingly, Craigslist is a great place to start looking for a developer, sometimes you can find a developer who can work locally, where you can meet in person. This can be more expensive, but can ensure that you receive quality work from your developer.
2. Internet forums: If you do a Google search for “Palm Development Forum”, you will find several development forums with job boards. This is a great place to post your project or get in touch with developers who have posted their resume.
3. Freelance Websites – This may be your cheapest option. If you are looking for an affordable developer, check here first because this will allow you to outsource your development needs, saving you thousands of dollars. But be sure to interview your developer properly to ensure you hire a developer who is capable of the work you need to create.
4. Google Ads – If you type “palm developer” into Google, you’ll see ads in the top right for development companies that will give you free quotes (most of the time). These development companies often have extensive resumes and will give you an idea of the talent on their development team.
Finding an affordable palm developer is really not a difficult thing to do, you just need to look in the right places. If price is your main concern, I recommend outsourcing your developer because it saves you thousands of dollars. Most of the time, these outsourced developers are more than capable of the development you need for your Palm app idea.
