Project Description: Alchimie LLC is looking for a talented freelance programmer that can assist our lead programmer in the encoding/redesign/update of an existing Java based GUI program to the Xojo Programming environment (see [login to view URL]) The candidate will be coding the majority of the conversion, however they will get assistance from our lead programmer. The program will be used for Mac, PC, and eventually IOS and Android deployment . We will give preference to programmers that have an extensive knowledge of Java and the Xojo programming environments. You will be working around the US Eastern Standard (EST) time zone, and MUST be available during those working hours. Programmer availability within this time zone has been a problem with previous contracts, so if you are not available to reply and work per those business hours, please don't submit a quote. Signing of NDA is required. Detailed Requirements: The chief requirement, is to have access to BOTH a PC and Mac for testing. A virtual image, such as VMware may fill the requirement. However, be aware that previous testing has shown problems on Virtual machines. The existing program is used to update and backup a DJ mixing program database and its configuration files. This allows a DJ to sync their existing media files such as (.mp3, .mp4, .wav) to leading industry DJ Programs. The DJ program will read these updates and modify the available and playable songs/playlists. The following functions currently exist: 1. SYNC with Auto Update: Features Drag and Drop directly from file structure to the GUI. Drag one main folder or multiple folders to the GUI and sync them ALL to the DJ application. 2. Export to CSV : Export Song data from MP3 files meta tag data to a CSV file. 3. Add/Delete or Rename folder directories within the GUI. 4. Copy To Device: Copies selected directory structure to an external USB hard drive/Flash drive. 5. BACKUP DATABASE: Provides an Auto-Backup of the text based database structure. 6. FIND LOST FILES: GUI program feature that shows the difference of what’s in the text database vs. what is in the actual file structure. 7. Set Columns: Allows the user to reorder the column headings. 8. Import Database: reads from the existing DJ program’s config file and displays the structure in Program. The programmer will be responsible for porting over the existing functions and assist with adding the following NEW functionality: 1. Implement an online subscription based service allowing logon with username,password,etc. 2. Help implement an online database to hold user profile info, MP3 Tag data, History settings of played music and other misc data.
