Benvenuto!
Greetings and salutations to all, and welcome to the very first blog post at Cantina.
First things are always first, and in the spirit of blogging as a new form of journalism (not http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Journalism) let’s get the main questions that any reporter would ask out of the way:
Who
We’re a new boutique internet technology shop specializing in whatever it takes to effectively produce web things (see About section).
What
What do we do? Well, sometimes it involes banging our heads against the wall, but at the end of the day we make great web sites and applications using best of breed practices and technologies (yes, you can read Web 2.0 in there).
When
We’ve been doing this for over 15+ years combined, but the blog starts today.
Why
We often ask ourselves that same question, but in the end, we love what we do!
How
Using some of these: agile methodologies, iterative design and development, rapid development frameworks and lots of testing.
In the process of doing what we do, we end up figuring some things out, and as part of the open source credo of “share what you know” (which sometimes comes in the form of “patch it if it’s broken”), we decided to start blogging about our little victories against buggy code. We hope that you find at least something that we’ve written here useful, and who knows, maybe someday we can do business together.
