Java is a superb language that allows source code to be compiled into files that can then be executed by a Java Virtual Machine. It enables code mobility unimagineable a decade ago. Code can be debugged and optimised then the same code reused in a life-times applications via packages. Javas' web abilities are widely used and a broad library of functionality is available to draw on. Java Server Pages (JSP) being a good example. We will code almost any application you can think of: Even if you are unsure if an idea is plausable, give us a call and you might be surprised by what is possible, at an economical price.

By using Open Source (O.S.) code a developer can gain years of debugging and optimisation already applied by the O.S. community. While adding useful functionality is the obvious payback, in reality just using the code and reporting any problems is a valueable contribution. While there is more to open source than (just) being free it is benefically to be able to prototype the full code rather than trial versions of proprietory software.
MySQL is open source and is now owned by Sun MicroComputers. They allow the free use of several versions of the popular database. mySQL is highly desirable for the same reason as other open source software: There is a massive body of users who have written volumes on mySQL's functionality and oddities. We can quote for all types of mySQL work including redesign, security and backup issues.

Content Management Systems have revolutionised website management. Joomla is generally acknowledged to be the best open source solution. We have been working with Joomla in preference to others as the range of available templates and modules is so wide. We can set up a Joomla site using an existing template at a low price and also modify existing templates to fit your requirements. To get the best out of Joomla you may need some staff training which we can also help with.

Drupal is perhaps the most advanced open source content management system, with an impressive client list.
We are now working with Drupal for customers that require its advantages over Joomla.
We can set up a Drupal site although its huge feature range requires considerable thought to gain the most from the options. To get the best out of Drupal you may need some staff training which we can also help with.
