Programming: Our current primary programming language is Python; we also have skills in C/C++ and shell scripting as well as some familiarity with Perl, PHP, Pascal, Ada and a number of other programming languages, including PLC stepladder.
Computer Science: We have university qualifications in Computer Science, so we bring theoretical grounding in addition to practical experience.
FOSS Solutions: We keep up-to-date with the FOSS field so as to be able to recommend cost-effective solutions combining off-the-shelf components with customisation and, where appropriate, custom code.
We are located in Epping (Sydney).
