Six years of working with people who have ideas for software projects they think will help them or their company make money has taught me a few things. Speaking in terms of my first career (as a professor), I feel the time is right to introduce a new course: Software Customer 101.
My hope is to improve the odds for Atomic Object customers and potential customers to have a successful project and make money from their great ideas.
The material in this course will be grouped into six major sections:
I. Inconvenient Truths
II. Doing Your Homework
III. Evaluating a Vendor
IV. Evaluating a Proposal
V. Making the Choice
VI. Running your Project

Your Carl Erickson link is bad http://atomicobjetc.com/pages/Carl+Erickson

I’m interested in this course, is it being presented online or in the classroom?
Thank you for catching the bad link. It’s been fixed.
The “course” is being presented online through a progression of blog posts (20 or so) Carl will be authoring. We’re only through the introduction of the material so far. Eventually, we hope to pull these posts together into an article or presentation or possibly even a one day training course. Participation from readers through comments and suggestions is very welcome.
Hoping that the readings for the second section will be gathered up, as well for sections three through six.
