Visiting India, Working holiday

admin — Thu, 11 Oct 2007 11:30:00 +0000

Are you an experienced web designer or web developer working for a blue chip in London or somewhere in the United Kingdom or USA ? If so, we would be keen to have you here for at least a month to spend time with our team here in Kerala – more of a working holiday. There are some fantastic (rustic, unexplored) weekend getaways waiting for you.

This is our standard quote (courtesy lonely planet) for customers from United Kingdom and USA who visit us once in a while.

"India will sideswipe you with its size, clamour and diversity – but if you enjoy delving into convoluted cosmologies and thrive on sensual overload, then it is one of the most intricate and rewarding dramas unfolding on earth, and you'll quickly develop an abiding passion for it.

Nothing in this country is ever quite predictable; the only thing to expect is the unexpected, which comes in many forms and will always want to sit next to you. India is a litmus test for many travellers – some are only too happy to leave, while others stay for a lifetime"

We have had some exciting times, taking our clients from United Kingdom (London and Brighton) and USA (Seattle) on day trips. Hindu weddings, temple rituals, wild life, wilderness treks, elephant ride, tiger spotting and ethnic shopping.

AIR,Silverlight and RIA

admin — Fri, 05 Oct 2007 07:39:00 +0000

Been closely monitoring whats happening at FOWA 07 @ Excel, London.

Adobe VS Microsoft Silverlight

AIR is a cross O/S runtime that allows web application developers to use their existing web development skills such as HTML, JS,Flash,Flex, Ajax etc to build and deploy rich Internet applications (RIA) to the desktop

Conclusion :

Microsoft will build a better developer toolset, and provide a better story for tool integration. However their unwillingness to support MacOS, and their inability to truly understand creativity will be their drawback (Lets us see how MS Expressions work) . Adobe has a deep cultural understanding of the creative process, and experience with cross-platform support.

Website security

admin — Thu, 20 Sep 2007 04:10:00 +0000

Besides delivering projects on time, it is also our responsibility to make clients aware of the importance of website security. As we do lots of external web application QA testing for our clients in London, we take extra efforts to check and prevent JS and Sql injection, although the possibilities are low with the new and proven development frameworks. The passwords for client are captcha protected to avoid bot logins and admin logins go through a 15 day password change.
