It sucks to see everyone get ripped off / flaked on / lagged on & I've been working with outsourced development for some time so I figure I'd give you guys a nice little tip.

www.rentacoder.com

This is by far the best outsourcing community I've used (i've used them all)... it might look a little "ghetto" but its simple, HUGE, and it works very well.

Make sure and follow the #1 rule when working with outsourced developers: BE EXTREMELY SPECIFIC AND DETAILED WITH YOUR REQUIREMENTS!

These guys don't really improvise nor are they really concerned with the direction of your application; they're only here to build what you ASK for. So, if your specs are vague you're going to get an end product you're not satisfied with & in the end, its really your fault. Remember, these folks aren't industry people nor do they understand the reasons behind your custom applications...

Here are a couple of good things about this place:

1. Everything is done via escrow, funds aren't released until you accept / confirm what you have received is to your liking. THIS INCLUDES YOUR REQUIRED DELIVERY DATE / DEADLINE!!! If they are late 1 day you have the right to bail.

2. 10-20 bids on your project within about 24-48 hours from all over the globe.

3. you can require an NDA

4. some coders will even put up their OWN $ (expert guarantee) to secure your busienss.. if they don't deliver a final product on time you get to keep their $

5. you can get help for anything here from data entry, programming, server administration, design, audio/video help, etc.

anyway, sign up... check it out... its real simple to get started

its not my site, theres no ref code.. just trying to help

enjoy

yea scriptlance isnt bad, elance is also okay... rentacoder & scriptlance have the most activity it appears

i like these because i dont have to wait on 1 guy to do a job and then move on to the next.. sometimes you need different things done simultaneously
