”A dream to work with.”
Bob Cohen, Mojotools

We are Ruby on Rails Specialists.

Ruby on Rails is our core technical focus and our application platform of choice. We have a background in Java, C/C++ and PHP, but the flexibility of Ruby and the power of Ruby on Rails won us over. Together these platforms help us create more value for our customers in a shorter space of time and adapt quickly to our customers’ changing business needs.

We live on the cutting edge of flexible, agile development practice, practicing Behaviour Driven Development (BDD) using RSpec as our testing platform. We’ve found these practices to give us a real edge in delivering stable and reliable software that’s automatically tested from top to bottom whenever we change anything.

Many of our projects have been web applications and sites created in this way and we can handle pretty much any Ruby on Rails development needs you might have:

Rescuing projects: despite the tools to help you do things correctly, some coders still write very bad Ruby on Rails websites. If you’re unlucky enough to find yourself in the middle of such a project, please give us a call; we have a wealth of experience in rescuing failing projects. We can also find issues and problems with applications and improve them so they’re faster, more flexible and more reliable.

High throughput and scalability requiring multi-tier environments: we’ve created applications running off several web servers linking to MySQL databases, and have experience in solving the unique demands of that environment.

We know when to (and are able to) switch to C: Ruby isn’t the fastest language, although some smart people are working hard to remedy that. Some jobs, however, are best left to languages where you can take the gloves off and push your hardware to the limit. With our extensive background in a variety of languages, we can take that step as needed when your project demands it.

Scalability and capacity: because there are several of us working on each project, projects are completed more quickly than a single person would be able to. We spur each other on to write excellent code and adhere to best practice. And there’s always someone available to fix problems or guide you through the latest features in your application.
