Sorry, I've been too busy to get to the email list. Just found this.<div><br></div><div><div><br></div><div><div>I use racket extensively in my client work. The only trouble is, most of my work is website oriented, so my clients aren't much aware of it. Most of my clients are small business owners and I build/manage their web properties for them. If I didn't have racket as my secret weapon, i would be spending 90% of my time building and managing their websites instead of 10% of my time. This allows me to actually focus on satisfying their business needs instead of trying to keep up with them.</div>
<div><br></div><div>I have on occasion provided applications that they use in house. One of my customers needed help costing large steam pipe sections used in power generation. I whipped up a very simple racket application that helped them compute the surface area of these piping sections. They did not know or care what language it was done in, but racket allowed me to build an app in about 2 days instead of who knows how long otherwise....</div>
<div><br></div><div>Also most of my clients are not technically savvy so they don't really care much which languages I use for them. If I could actually find someone to say "hey we need this done in racket" that would just be fantastic. I like working in racket so much more than anything else, I would almost pay to do it. :-)</div>
<div><br></div><div><br></div><div>I'm always open to do racket based project work / consulting and am very interested in getting racket based work.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Thanks,</div><div> Curtis</div>

I've heard privately from several people, and will be getting back to each of them individually. It seems there's a good amount of interest in Racket consulting. I'll see what information I can distill for this email list without spilling anyone's beans.<div class="HOEnZb">
