Customer Quotes
"We brought in Ian to create our main software package for us, and it
has worked out very well indeed. I have been very happy with his ability to transform
our descriptions of what we want into a working application, and excellent technical
skills to deliver within an impressive timescale. I would very much recommend
him to any business."

What's new?
LINQ to SQL
Using LINQ is another means to speed up the development process. The ability to model the structure and relationships
of the database within the application really focuses the mind on the importance of good database design - which
is as it should be. It also makes database interaction much easier - meaning less code, and fewer errors.
Ajax
A wonderful new development capability - Ajax
itself has been around a while, but it wasn't very easy to use and debug in client
applications. Now with the ASP.Net implementation of Ajax, projects requiring part-page
re-submissions to the web server are simple to develop.
In English, that means implementing step-by-step processes through 'Wizards' over the web are now very easy to put in place.
