How to find a reliable programmer

I really need to find a good, reliable computer software programmer.  I went through guru.com but the results were not that great.  Can anyone suggest a place like an "Angie's List" of programmers?  I need to find someone with good credentials and good "feedback".  I need someone for software programs and web applications (asp.net coder + experience with ecommerce API's)

You can go through the list of experts (from the Hall of Fame) in the desired language (C, asp,...etc) and check who is having "Hire me" button, click and then find out how it turns.

I suggest that you do a search of questions and article that have keywords of interest. Then look at how the experts answer them. If there are some that you like, contact them. Even if they do not have a "Hire me" button, they sometimes give their email address in their profile.

Sample searches:

  asp.net  ecommerce --> http://rdsrc.us/72ZIT9

  ecommerce API       --> http://rdsrc.us/rVluSq

Now you have a chance to peruse the questions and the way they answer them.
Depends on whether you're looking to employ someone or you just have some freelance projects in mind as the two are completely different questions...

Another suggestion is trying a nearby university. That is a gold mine for talent and skills.
The other thing you could do is try to find someone that is knowledgable in the areas you need work done and ask if they could screen the people you are considering hiring.  I've known numerous colleages that are sometimes too swampped to take on new projects or have a full time job and don't want to take on side work, but are prefectly willing to score a few bucks for an hour or two techinical interview of someone.
