Software Development
Most of our current development work is on web-based systems, which may include internal-use systems. With modern AJAX programming techniques these can become nearly as responsive as workstation-based apps. Languages include PHP, VBScript, JavaScript, HTML and XML, running on Apache and Microsoft IIS servers. Databases include MySQL and Microsoft SQL Server.
We write custom software using database systems such as Microsoft Access and Visual FoxPro. These are usually highly productive, but limited in scope to running within an organization.
We also write Active Directory automation scripting and reporting to help organizations manage their users and infrastructure.
We use various scripting languages as needed to automate Microsoft Office (VB for Applications), Linux shells (Bash) and Windows (Wscript).
