A Software Developer's Toolbox
Symmetri has experience and expertise in a wide range of development technologies. We are not dogmatic about which technology is the "best" - we believe that depends on your project and its context. We are curious about technology and are always updating our skills and knowledge.
Adobe Flash, Flex and Actionscript Development
As a developer's technology, Flash has come a long way from its roots. The newest incarnation of Actionscript 3 for Flash is fully featured Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) language and allows the development of powerful, data-driven Flash applications. If impact and animation are key requirements, Flash could be the best choice for your project. And now with the advent of Flex and Adobe's new AIR runtime technology, building visually rich interfaces and standalone applications is easier than ever.
Unlike most Flash developers, we are highly technical and we understand how to integrate Flash with the Internet. We can build you a Flash application that combines visuals, usability and complex server application code - or maybe one that is just a bit of fun.
Open Source Development
Open source technologies such as the Linux, Apache, PHP, MySQL (LAMP) stack allow for flexible and low-cost solutions that leverage of the large open-source community. Our recent work includes the development of a CRM system on the vTiger CRM open source codebase and a complete eCommerce ordering system using osCommerce.
Open source is often the best choice for building software if the developer community has already been working on similar problems. We understand how to use open-source code effectively and ethically to solve real-world problems. We can explain the advantages of using open source in the context of your project.
Microsoft Development Technologies - .NET, ASP.NET, SQL Server
Symmetri has excellent credentials developing for the ASP.NET 1.x/2.0 framework using C# and VB.NET, and we have previously designed and developed a number of large, enterprise-level applications using .NET technology. We are very familiar with SQL Server 2005 and we have wide experience in designing and deploying all kinds of SQL databases. And we are keeping abreast of new developments in the world of Microsoft, such as LINQ, Silverlight, NetFx3 and Popfly.
Ajax Development
Ajax development refers to the implementation of the kind of rich, in-browser functionality that you see in a web application such as Google Maps. AJAX uses Javascript within your browser to make requests to the web server without having to refresh the web page - which allows your web application to be more responsive to the user and to provide a vastly richer user experience.
We keep up-to-date with new developments in Ajax development and regularly use AJAX techniques in our work. We are very familiar with both the Ajax toollkit library for ASP.NET and the excellent jQuery, and we understand how to build web interfaces that are fast, easy to use and functional.
