The eBay of programmers

Article Abstract:

Ian Ippolito created Rent A Coder in 2001, with the idea of helping supplicants to find qualified software developers to take on their jobs and the site, which is like eBay for software projects, has since then attracted 45,000 buyers, who posted projects and many coders around the world offered to take on work. The posting of a project on Rent A Coder and bidding on it are free and once the work gets assigned the buyer puts the project cost and when the programming is done the developer gets paid.

Space shot

Article Abstract:

Jon Hopp, owner of Jigsaw Editorial, wanted the work environment to be more relaxed, editors to be more at ease with their work process and have a calm atmosphere. The owner with the help of architectural designer Lawrence Scarpa, got his office renovated with water as the central design element, which is an unusual indoor pool, where two giant curvilinear blocks filled with acrylic beads and ping pong ball is a work place for editing and production and light sifts in through double-glazed panels.
