Software Development

In few words, we can help you build your own software solution. We are specialized in software, without brands, without boundaries, which means that can help you with a multitude of different platforms and systems, as Robert A. Heinlein said:

A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.

We have, however, a few preferencies, so here goes the list of platforms and programming languages we work most often with:

• Objective-C and Cocoa, for the iPad, the iPhone and the Mac;
• JavaScript, particularly with Prototype and jQuery;
• Objective-J and Cappuccino;
• Ruby and, of course, Ruby on Rails;
• PHP, including the Zend Framework and Symfony;
• Java, specially for creating Android applications;
• C++, for cross-platform desktop development, for Windows, Linux and the Mac of course, using frameworks such as Juce, Poco or wxWidgets;
• Finally, C# and Visual Basic.NET, for the .NET Framework (did you know that Adrian spoke at a Microsoft event in Geneva a couple of years ago?)

To give you an idea of what we’re capable of, just check out Rem (Adrian’s Master’s degree project), which will most probably convince you about our capabilities.

Software Engineering, of course, it’s not just about programming languages: we are also avid Agile practitioners, contributors to Open Source projects, advocates of sound project management practices, and regular bloggers.
