Ruby and Rails done right

Over the past several years the Ruby programming language has been propelled into the mainstream of the software development landscape largely due to the creation of the Ruby on Rails framework. InfoEther was formed to specifically leverage Ruby's power to build sophisticated software solutions for commercial applications.

Our Software Consulting Practice

We develop software for our clients with a "Tiger Team" approach. Many of our clients are looking to build new systems and many more are looking to transition existing systems or subsystems capability to Ruby on Rails but lack internal expertise with the Rails framework. Our approach allows us to provide everything from code review, private training (through The Pragmatic Studio) and "Best Practices" to writing the code and developing the applications.

We employ an agile and iterative process to our projects; always maintaining tight communications with key stakeholders. Once the project is nearing a completion milestone, we work to transition the system to the client's internal team.

Our Approach

We provide a range of services and approaches:

• Outsource System Software Development - Our bread and butter. We do complete software engineering projects, interaction designs, coding, testing, documentation and delivery. While we specialize in Ruby and Rails development, we use the best tools for the job. Javascript, Flash, C, Erlang - you name it - we have applied it to achieve the best results as rapidly as possible.
• iPhone & Mobile Application Software Development - Many of our projects involve mobile components and we are an approved corporate iPhone developer. Our people have expertise in all the popular mobile frameworks and devices as well and have been developing mobile applications for over a decade. VoIP projects, security, encryption, authentication components and large and unusual system integration have all been accomplished in our various projects.
• Code Review & Best Practices - A growing part of our business involves reviewing code developed by others and offering advice and pointing to "Best Practice" methods. This is often the most cost efficient way for our customers to help their internal efforts and mentor their development teams.
• International Presence - Through a combination of our own in-house people and a rich worldwide-network of some of the best known software developers in the Ruby and Rails ecosystem, we are able to handle modest as well as extremely large and complex projects anywhere in the world.
