Join us in this new exciting trailblazing effort. There are already more than 200 World Wide Programmers. The amazing progress in telecommunications made it possible to form distributed teams of programmers, working together on software projects, as if they were sitting in neighboring offices. That's true--this is how we work at Reliable Software.

In order to become a World Wide Programmer you need to have the following things: a computer with a modem, a sound card and a microphone an internet and e-mail account urge to work with others like you on interesting software projects. You can successfully collaborate from your home with programmers from all over the world. Schedule regular meetings with your collaborators using any of the many Internet Phone products (some of them freely available for downloading). You can discuss the details of the design, do code reviews and walkthroughs. You can set up exact copies of your project on your local machines and use WinZip to exchange them on a regular basis. Or you can try a special Distributed Source Control System that we designed with exactly this kind of environment in mind. It's up to you. We know it's possible, because we've done it ourselves. We developed our product while telecommuting between Seattle, WA, USA and Gdansk, Poland (nine time zones apart). You can do it, too.

Enterpreneurs! Try your organizational skills. You don't need a huge startup capital. All that's required is the will and the ability to convince others to work with you to create a new killer app. This is your chance. Contact people from the list and start your own virtual company.

Programmers! To join the ranks of WW Programmers fill out a simple form. You'll rate your skills and list particular programming interests. You'll be able to contact other WW Programmers and they'll be able to reach you. Before you join, make it a point to send e-mail to at least one other WW Programmer. Tell him or her what you're interested in. They are waiting for you. If you have a good idea for a program, you might be able to convince others to join you in a world-wide collaboration. If you want to learn a new skill, find somebody else who'll learn it with you. It is so much easier to work on a product when you have a team. Even having just one collaborator provides enough incentive to continue working until successful completion. How often do you start a good project and lose patience half way through? How often do you have ideas that you know would work, but don't have enough time or patience to implement them in software? Join the World Wide Programmers' Web and share your ideas with others. Join-in on existing projects or start your own. Send e-mail to other WW Programmers directly from our web site. Learn skills and gather experiences. Whether you are a seasoned guru or just a beginner, you'll be able to find something that will stimulate your mind.
