Hire A Developer / Programmer |
|
For any offshore outsourced software development project to succeed the most important factor is the team involved. At FDSC, we don't just offer you "Programmers" - people that specialize in just writing code but we try and provide you with "Developers" - people who will contribute in multiple ways to make the project successful and not just coding. Usually the word "Programmers" and "Developers" are used as synonyms. Typical areas in which the "Developer" Contributes are - Requirement Gathering
- Coding
- Documentation
- Configuration management
- Code reviews
- Testing
- Problem Solving

Comparision between hiring through a company versus working with freelancers Software development generally speaking is not suitable for freelancing. Software development is a team effort, and must be done by two or more people. It is difficult for the freelancers to follow best practices on their own. But when the work is done in a team environment, it forces us to follow a structure and best practices This way the design and quality of implementation tends to be better. Here are some points indicating the pros and cons of hiring through a comapany than working with a freelancer. | Hire a programmer through FDSC | Hiring a Freelancer | - Business driven development with limited developer bias
