All Things To Consider

February 7th, 2007

Maybe not ALL things. But there are a ton of things to consider as a freelance programmer or leading programming shop. And a few have come to my attention recently, so that is the driving force of this post.

  1. Copyright/Ownership – on this project, who will own the code when it completes?
  2. ITAR – Is it legal, and do I have the correct licenses under the US Dept of State Rules and Regs, to sell or exchange this technical data?
  3. Programming Language – which one fits this solution?
  4. What existing technologies should we use?
  5. What custom technologies should we develop in-house?
  6. In what areas will the customer experience growth? Engineer your software appropriately.
  7. Scalability – set them up for success.

If you are unfamiliar with ITAR, I recommend looking into it if you plan on doing any work overseas, or in the defense industry. You don’t want to get fined.

There are many more things to consider. This list, is just a start.
