We use the latest features of the .NET framework to build our clients modern and reliable applications. When building new applications, we prefer to use the WPF rendering system if this complies with your project requirements. WPF has a few major advantages over the older GDI-based rendering system:

• Data binding / Seperation of view and logic - This concept is great practice, and allows for clean, reusable, and readable code for future development. WPF applications are generally built using the MVVM design pattern.
• DirectX rendering - WPF no longer relies on the GDI rendering engine that older applications rely on. Applcation drawing is done using DirectX which allows for hardware-accelerated performance and a rich graphical user experience.

also require database and web connectivity. We will use Entity Framework for applications requiring interaction with a database, and will evaluate if web services would be useful for your system. Namely, if your database will be accessed by multiple applications (web or desktop). The .NET framework also provides useful tools if your application needs to consume existing web services.

We currently use the C++ 11 standard to develop new C++ applications. We can develop C++ applications for projects that require:

• High speed, mult-threaded data processing.
• Processing at a low-level (assembly).
• Intensive graphical processing in DirectX or OpenGL.
• Cross-platform functionality (ex: your application needs to run on both Windows and Linux platforms).

It is also possible to give your C++ application web/database connectivity by using RESTful web service APIs such as C++ REST SDK.

We support Java development in a variety of IDEs including Eclipse and NetBeans. Java applications are a good fit when you need cross-platform compatibility and modern, expansive functionality and library support (similar to what the .NET framework offers for Windows), but comes at the expense of slightly slower processing than a native C++ application. Overall, a Java application is the best choice for cross-platform applications in most cases.

We develop Android apps using the Android SDK and the IntelliJ Java IDE. Apps are very useful for giving your customers quick access to interaction with your business (such as placing an order with saved preferences and only a few button presses), and utilzing hardware found on mobile devices (camera, flash storage, etc). Where applicable, we can help you design a system that allows for future expansion. For example, if you need an app that places an order to your restaurant, we can create a web service that can be used by both your app and website. Then, if you need to make changes to your order processing service, code only needs to be modified in one place.
