Hi Coders,

I am looking to create a desptop application that carries out various internet related automated tasks.

You will require knowledge in the following areas:

Spiders & Robots

Web Browsers

Ecryption

Basic description of the project:

The desktop application will allow the user to set-up automated/scheduled task that will emulate browser and spider activity. In addition it will interact with my server to collect process settings and auto updates for the software. On the server side it will encrypt setting before sending to user and then the software will decrypt setting on the user side to execute tasks.

Yes, I have not really given you enough information to bid on this project! I am currently about 1/2 way through the specification at this moment in time.

Selection Prossess:

1. Respond to this project with examples of desktop application you have previously complete, with links to supporting sites and download if available. Also confirm you have a working knowledge of the areas above.

2. I will them review all submissions and short list individuals. This short list will be given a top level specification with enough information to bid on.

3. The final short list will then be given the full specification to review and finalise their bid.

NOTE: I will be placing a large emphasis on your previous work when selecting the coder from this project. If you have not made desktop applications before, or have no idea how search engine spiders work, then donot bother to bid!

After the initial completion of this project there will be ongoing support required for updating and upgrading the software. So again if you donot feel that you cannot offer long term support and future upgrades. Donot Bid!!
