Need to hire -- design an app to manipulate stock market data

[celticfire]

I am looking to hire a freelancer to code me a pretty basic program that will allow a visitor to a webpage to input some stock symbols and then the app will pull various data like share price, volume and then multiply by a constant and then display the values in a table.

I have never hired a coder before, is there a marketplace recommended to get someone who can do this job well and quickly.

Thanks

Yeah, there are places where you can hire coders. Here are a few:

Fiverr
Guru.com
Scriptlance (Freelancer)
Elance

I'm not sure about Fiverr, since my perception is that this is a job that you might pay more than $5 for, but don't take my word for it...you might be surprised with what you can find on Fiverr.

Let me the details if you are looking for someone i can help in your project.

You could find someone to do this on Elance in a few hours.

There's also the WickedFire BST section, but I've only used it a couple of times so don't really have enough data to draw a conclusion about it yet.

freelancer.com and odesk is one good options too, to hire programmers.

This information is readily available on google, so you might not need to reinvent the wheel when you design this; just parse the data and make it look good.

It would be nice if you also included an option that associates full names of companies with their ticker symbols so that people who don't necessarily know the symbol can just input the company name.

Come to think of it, there is probably an open source version of what you need out there already.
