Hello :)

My name is Geoff. I am still an employee (boo) but I am looking very seriously into running my own software development company.

In my day job I design and develop software so I am fine on the technical side but I have very little experience on the commercial front. For example: I have no experience of bid work and have never seen a contract so I need to bridge this gap before I can begin. Any help appreciated. At the moment I am looking for a template NDA and an appreciation for what a software development contract would look like. Of course I am willing to give advice in return and will surely volunteer advice anyway even if I am not asked :D

all the best

Hi Geoff and welcome.

NDA templates have come up as a topic on the forums a few times. try searching for the term and you might find someone who could supply one :)

Thanks for the tip. ... Now I have introduced myself I guess I won't be considered a cold caller if I do pm a couple of peeps for an NDA :)

Hi Geoff,

I too have an NDA if you need it, although you're in good hand with Andy (just don't metion Noel Edmonds)

What languages do you develop in and where are you based?

wow, what a great welcome :D

Duane, thanks for the offer. Andy kindly sent me an NDA last night.


btw. For the last 6 years I have designed and developed systems using Java/J2EE. Before that I was a C/C++ chappy.

I have a real passion for what I do and I am looking forward to leaving the corporate nest to start up a new company with a couple of trusted and equally passionate buddies.

all the best
