We specialise in development using open-source technologies - LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL, Php), Perl, and PostgreSQL.
Our engineers have spent many years developing internet applications on a wide range of platforms, and we find that open-source solutions are generally superior:
- Development is quicker and more efficient
- Documentation is better, and easier to find
- All required components are usally part of the base software, but if not are easily added.
- We can choose the most suitable package, and not compromise on price.
- The resulting product is cheaper, more effient, more secure, more robust and more future-proof.
All work is undertaken on dedicated linux servers configured to be as close to the target system as possible. We also have virtual machines hosting other operating systems to allow us to test projects with various web browser combinations.
We are proficient in server-side and client-side coding, and we are very much at home developing websites with close integration between server-side and client-side code by using AJAX techniques, and even generating client-side code 'on-the-fly'.
We make use of the following technologies:
Server-side
- PHP
- Perl / CGI
- C / CGI
- Java
- JSP
- Visual C++ *
Databases
- MySql
- PostgreSQL
- SQL Server*
Client-side
- JavaScript
- HTML
- DHTML
- AJAX
- ASP*
We can integrate with almost any database system running remotely on a wide range of platforms. Using a combination of database transformations, and scripts and/or C++ code running on the legacy server we can provide two-way synchronisation between websites and legacy applications.
