wow, it's been a while since i posted. my uncle is looking for some development help on a new project and i figured this might be a good group to ask...have a read and if you're interested (or know someone who might be), could you drop me a line? :-)
There is a good example of something similar to what is needed at:
www.work4sure.com Under "Sample Information", click on ComponentMatching to see a sample of the results if one uses this service. The part that you can help me with is under the "Flash Demo" section.
Click on that and go through the demo.
You can also try the service with your PC by going to "Try it yourself ..." and click on
ComponentMatching and follow the rest of the instructions.
The whole thing probably takes <10 min. to browse.
The way I see it, it probably consist of 3 main parts :
1. An Web application where a user can click on and invoke an utility to scan the user's PC configuration
( setting up the session, security certificate, initiating the utility , and storing the resulting config. data,... )
2. Utility that get's the user's PC config. and put's it somewhere ( presumably a file )
3. User than send's back the config. data ( by clicking on a 2nd button, similar to the demo ).
This data will be compared to the vendor's database and spills out a list of potential
parts/products (in this case PC memory components ) that will suit the user's PC configuration.
I'm looking for anyone that may be interested in helping me with these projects.
By the way, there can be some money as an incentive.
As for the time frame, I don't have a good idea yet, I need to talk with my friend after I have the people
and I know that it can be done. But for your friend's info., it can start just about anytime.
