We Do:


Application Development

We provide comprehensive end-to-end software application development and support services for all types of applications, from in-house office automation tools to retail software products.
 
Application development requires an in-depth knowledge of a variety of computer programming languages, computing standards and operating system interfaces. We specialise in multimedia programming for Business, Educational and Entertainment use. We also develop software applets such as plug-ins for other commercial multimedia and graphics applications and internet related software add-ons such as objects for web servers. Some project examples are here.
 

Authoring vs. Programming?

Authoring packages such as Director & Flash are great for creating most 'presentation' style multimedia applications for CD-ROM, DVD and Internet based interactive presentations. However, being stuck with this skillset is quite limiting, there are many cases where a lower level development approach is needed. Especially where performance & better control over certain technologies is important.
 
Typical examples of multimedia applications which would usually require programming rather than authoring are:
Audio & video editing applications
3D visualisation & game development
2D graphics editing
Robotic & Lighting Control
Some kiosk applications
Some database driven applications
 
Choosing and using the right development tools for any project is important. Using a company that isn't limited by it's skillset is a real advantage!
 
Application development starts with choosing the right tools for the job. We don't expect you to know all the technical details of how to implement your new idea, we'll come up with a future-proof plan for making your ideas work, now and later on.
 
Our skillset includes the following APIs, Languages & processes: Adobe Flex, Win32, .NET, Directshow, ActiveX, OpenGL /GLScene, Delphi, C#, C++, Visual Basic, FMOD Audio, SAPI Speech API, Mac OSX, MacOs, XCode, Core Audio, Quicktime, PHP, MySQL, ASP, Apache Server Objects, Director Xtras, Browser plug-ins, Adobe plug-ins, Installers, Software Registration, Copy Protection, Telephone Support, Maintenance Contracts, Hardware Design & Specification
 

Cross Platform Development

Although we prefer to work using open source methods where possible, which we are actively involved in on many projects, we are very aware that as a commercial business the predominant platform is currently Microsoft Windows. Upcoming platforms such as Apple's OSX and Linux are exciting prospects, we always keep up to date on those platforms as the tide of computer preference changes.
 
We currently create and support cross plaform applications for:
 
Windows 2000/XP/Vista/7, Apple MacOs 9x, Apple OSX & Linux
 

After Sales Support

We can also support your deployed software application for your clients using our freephone and email messaging services. We guarantee a response via telephone or email within 24 hours during normal UK office hours.

  • Desktop Locker

    One annoying thing with Windows is that you have to log out or use a screen saver to secure your computer when you're not sitting in front of it. But what if you want people to see what's on the screen when you're not logged in? Desktop Locker lets you do this. It's ideal for real time displays like ticker tape software and CCTV security software. Desktop locker is NOT a screen saver.
    Desktop locker lets you set a password and timeout to automatically lock down your Windows PC after an amount of time. Users can still use the programs you decide they can use but not run any others or access any files on the PC. You just enter your password to unlock the PC and use it as normal. Nothing else I could find does this, that's why I wrote it!
