Forums: Discussions for entrepreneurs and small business.

For awhile now I have had a web app that I want to have developed, by a 3rd party resource (don`t have time to, myself). I am looking for advice on the following.

How can I insure, when I start farming out my spec to potential developers to `bid` on the building of it for me, that they don`t just take my idea and do it themselves? It would seem this is a common concern, when entrepreneurs come up with an idea and then want to pay someone to build it out for them. What is the best process to follow? How does one protect themselves, somewhat?

In other words, is a NDA all that is really needed?
