Development

The main activity of pleso.net team is developing web solutions and complex databases. Most of our projects can be classified as:

web-sites - news portals, presentation sites, customized content solution with dynamic web2.0 elements
business applications based on relational databases with integrated business-logic and user web-interfaces for them; developing additional server elements- technical and client services, monitoring systems
non-relational databases for working with weakly structured, dynamic data (semantic databases), creating unique web2.0 interfaces for working with data

We provide products' source code with documentation for our customers

Technologies

The key technologies we are using in developing process:

languages: Java and Python, scripting - for server tasks
web frameworks: Django (for content solutions), GWT (for building web2.0 solutions)
relational databases: PostgreSQL, MySQL
web servers and application servers: Apache, Lighttpd, Nginx, Tomcat
server platforms: Linux/Unix, most used - Debian GNU/Linux
own developed products: GWT Pleso Framework - allows building web interfaces for relational databases (LGPL license)

We implement solutions based on free and open software. This approach:

frees customer from significant payments for commercial products (server OS, databases, libraries and services)
gives an opportunity to get software updates quickly and for free
ensures independence from an individual supplier

We use tailored interactive development process with already tested instruments:

Subversion for project source control
Trac with additioanl add-ons as process managment tool. Specifically it allows to track process by separate task and provide time management
Eclipse with add-ons as development environment (IDE)
ArgoUML, Umbrello for UML modeling
