I wouldn't recommend it for a fresher. It's kind of harrowing and there's a lot of "non programming" stuff necessary to do it full time. I would recommend that she join a startup or a small company and get some real work experience before jumping into this. During my initial freelancing/moonlighting days, I spent time on odesk and other sites but didn't really get very far. All the projects I've really done came from contacts rather than websites. > I am trying to get a feel of how it is to do freelance > programming...in Python..in India ? It's not *hard* but it's not easy either. You need a reputation which you might have straight out of college but that's not very common. I'd recommend some time working for a regular (though small) company to cut your teeth before getting into this full time.
