The book speaks to those thinking about becoming software entrepreneurs and those that already are, but looking for more direction. The book begins with a discussion of the required staff structure and continues with the cost of development and management, writing a specification, estimating the work, developing the application, project management, invoicing, contracts and stress to name a few. Every day, for 15 years, Mr. Miner looked for something or someone that could provide him with a bit of advice, answer a simple question, or point him in the right direction. Not having found what he was looking for, this book is his contribution to supporting others.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMr. Miner has worked in the field of technology since 1972 beginning with the U.S. Navy's sonar and missile control systems.
