Do you have solid ASP.NET, Ajax, Javascript, and CSS skills? Are you a web development guru? If you are, this might be your workstation. Data Transfer Solutions is hiring in our Fort Collins Colorado office, and we need someone who can do some serious web development. We’re an agile development shop and we’re looking for a web developer that will fit well with our existing team. Experience with agile development practices and geographic information systems are a plus but are not a prerequisite. If you’re a web developer and you’re looking for a new place to sit, drop me an email using the Contact link above.

Hi,

Just read your post. I own a Chicago-based offshore development firm. I think we might be a good fit, but I'd like to learn a bit more about what you're looking for before I can say for sure. We have good .NET/CSS/Ajax experience.

You probably get contacted by them ALL the time, but many offshore firms are little more than 'software sweatshops' that over-promise and under-deliver. We're not for everyone and we only work with clients that demand high quality and are willing to pay for it. I created a silly blog making fun of the entire outsourcing industry (http://BoycottSoftwareSweatshops.com) Finding good offshore developers isn't hard, but finding people who are committed and reliable is next to impossible.

Outsourcing is about high value, not low cost. We don't take our selves too seriously but are dead serious about what we do. Give me a shout if you think it makes sense to chat.

Thanks,
