What We Know: Our Technical Skill Set

Symmetri has experience and expertise in a wide range of development technologies. We are curious about technology and we are constantly updating our skills and knowledge.

RIA and 3D: Flash, Flex, Actionscript and 3D Animation

Flash has come a long way from its roots. The newest incarnation of Actionscript 3 for Flash and Flex allows the development of powerful, data-driven applications. And now with 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 and Flex applications with real world data sources. We can build you an application that combines visuals, usability and complex server application code - or maybe one that is just a bit of fun.

We are also upgrading our skills in 3D animation and rendering using tools such as Papervision3D and Blender.

Microsoft Technologies: .NET, ASP.NET, SQL Server, Silverlight

We have excellent credentials developing for the ASP.NET 1.x/2.0/3.5 framework using C# and VB.NET, and we have previously designed and developed a number of large, enterprise-level applications using .NET technology and SQL Server.

We are also keeping abreast of newer technologies such as LINQ, WPF and Silverlight. And we can still maintain and upgrade legacy applications using older technologies such as Visual Basic, VBA, ASP, C, C++.

Open Source Development: PHP, MySQL

Open source technologies such as the Linux, Apache, PHP, MySQL(LAMP) stack allow for flexible and low-cost solutions that leverage off the large open-source community.

We have built many applications on the LAMP platform.

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.

Front End Web Development: HTML, Javascript, AJAX

Building interfaces with HTML and CSS is bread-and-butter for us. We are also experienced in building AJAX-enabled, rich interfaces, especially using jQuery and AJAX for ASP.NET.
