Would someone be willing to build the skeleton of a simple application for me?

Hi,

I am not really sure if this type of message is appreciated on this list or not. I tried looking it up on the Lazarus-site, but didn't find anything on it. My apologies if you think I shouldn't have sent this.

Quite a few years ago I was a reasonably decent Delphi programmer. But after my move to Linux-only systems more than a decade ago I stopped using Pascal (I did try Kylix for a short while). The last couple of years I've been very busy building my company, so during those years I've had no time for development at all.

However I am beginning to feel the itch again and would like to pick up where I left. On top of that I'd also like to give some students of mine a simple dictionary application for company specific vocabulary. So I thought to combine both and build it myself. It seemed like a good way to get myself reacquainted with Pascal and in this case Lazarus. I still think it will be, but I am getting soacked up in work again and there's a need for the application before March.

So here's my request: would someone be willing to get me started by building the basics when given the specs? Basically it concerns a sqlite database with just three tables (each with four or less fields) and the interface to query and manipulate them. All in all probably not more than 3 forms will be needed. More detailed specs are available.

I think it will not take more than one or two days for an experienced programmer and it doesn't have to be a full product. Just something that does what is needed and enough to get me up and running in a short time. Polishing the thing later on will be a good learning project for me.

I am willing to pay for this, as long as the fee is reasonable and the developer doesn't have any objections to have his code made available under an OSS license.

Anyone interested, please contact me directly and off-list.

Sincerely,

HdV

I know that this is not what you asked for, but you can take a look at http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/Lazarus_Documentation and http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/Category:Tutorials where some tutorials are located which might help you.
Even if someone will write you a sceleton application these links might provide you a bit of insight to understand the code given to you.

Regards,
Sven
