Application Development
Developing Your Solution
Agile development techniques, combined with dynamic languages like Ruby, have lead to a revolution in software development. As an economic reality, the development time allowed for applications has shrunk from months measured in the double digits to weeks measured in the single digits. Budgets just can’t support costs associated with ‘traditional’ application development. Firms are embracing ‘faster to market’ technologies such as Ruby on Rails to get the work done in the time and budget allowed. What’s needed for a successful agile project are agile languages and methods and the experience to know how to use those tools.
Saturn Flyer has been using Ruby on Rails for over two years, almost exclusively. In addition to our recent Rails experience, we also have several years of software development experience using .NET and Java. We are a contributor of several Radiant extensions (a Ruby on Rails based CMS). Whether you just need it done quickly, or in your budget, Saturn Flyer has the depth of experience and understanding to help you get it done right. If you are considering jumping into Rails, or just sticking a toe in to see if it’s safe, Saturn Flyer can help with your Rails projects.
