Issues - The Yield-Curve Standstill
Morning CCCCCCCCCC,
No worries about not building a web site from scratch. I’ve done that numerous times for my folks and myself. My shortcoming is programming larger projects in Visual Studio and a lack of experience with SQL. I’ve seen some new freeware that appears to allow people to get C++ into widgets for use on a web server: Wt C++ Web Toolkit.
I was kind of asked by two guys from Hedgehogs (http://www.hedgehogs.net) to build a yield curve widget. I have a C++ open source mathematical software library QuantLib to calculate the yields on debt instruments, and I wanted to move that data into a chart like this http://www.quantumsupport.biz/tester.php here.
I compiled the files from Wt C++ Toolkit and have a ton of object files and a compact SQL database. It is at this point that I ceased to make progress. I couldn’t figure out how to proceed to actually run the example widgets using the object files, etc. From there I was going to proceed to try to incorporate the math library for bond mathematics.
I was asked by these two guys who own Hedgehogs.net to produce this thing. I was offered no money. I agreed to do it because it serves as a form of self-promotion and the target audience is a group that makes money. So, I figured it’s a good way to generate interest and potential business.
I would consider paying you out of pocket to help me proceed with this, since I’m not getting paid. My objective is of course to get revenue from working for firms/funds on an as needed basis. The idea is to split any money made.
Anyways, I wanted to finish this yield-curve widget before I proceed to make serious efforts to solicit business. So, that’s where I stand and what I’ve got planned.
Please let me know what you think. Also, could you please send me your resume?
Thank you,
Ethan Castanon
