The beginning of this week saw Ibrahim join Cake, bringing an additional two years Java application development experience to the team. Ibrahim has spent the week setting his machine up and getting use to the Cake systems and tools, on Monday he will begin work on one of our major projects. Monday also sees the arrival of Andrew Chalkley who adds new skills in to the Cake mix. Andrew adds Ajax and Ruby & Rails skills to our toolset as well as adding CSS, and OOP PHP expertise. Andrew will embark on a 4 week Cake internal Java training program before begging work on one of our current projects.
One of the next internal projects I intend to begin today is the updating and redesigning of the Cake website. Our current design has been with us for a couple of years now and although much of the website is current the portfolio section and our service section needs a rewrite. My intention is to update, add and delete some of the current content before looking at the design of the website. Watch this space.
One item on the website “The 30 Second Pitch” has been renamed to “Cake’s Value Proposition” and revised to “Cake Solutions helps companies achieve their business goals. We do this by taking time to understand your business and using our broad technical knowledge and specialist programming skills to produce software that truly helps your organisation.
Cake is made up of a team of talented J2EE and open source software developers and business savvy project management personnel. Members of the Cake team are published authors and Sun certified developers.
A recent system built for a central government agency is being used by 2,500 international users. The application began as a research project, which thanks to its success within the agency has now grown in to a mature, successful and high profile system.
Contact Cake if you know that your current systems are not performing as well as they should or you need an innovative solution to a business problem, on 0161 975 6110.” Let me know what you think?
Finally Ani, Aleksa, Jan and I are all off to visit DeCare on Tuesday & Wednesday to help cement the newly formed partnership and to get a handover for some code that Cake will maintain recently written by DeCare. We are all looking forward to that trip immensely!
That’s it for now, have a great weekend.
