Issue 051: Freelancing

Welcome to the fifty-first issue of De Programmatica Ipsum, dedicated to Freelancing.

In this edition:

• We learn the principles of running a healthy business as independent software engineers.
• In the Library section, we review the software economics knowledge of Barry Boehm.
• In our Vidéothèque section, we learn from Mike Monteiro how to ask nicely for payments.
