Technology & Tools
The quality of the delivered code and the speed with which it is finished is defined by the underlying technologies and tools used to develop it. Egghead specialises in one area (and consequently, we do it very well) – Microsoft.
There are as many opinions on what the best platforms are as there are software engineers. In our opinion, Microsoft offer the best development tools (which makes us more productive and you wealthier) and the huge resources they bring to bear on every aspect (from operating systems through to database servers) means that there are fewer operational issues than with other platforms.
One great thing about the development tools that Microsoft provide us with is that we can use the same environment to write programmes for mobile devices, desktop PCs and enterprise scale web servers – our developers only have one learning curve to go through and making these devices talk to each other and share data is very easy.
One other surprising thing about Microsoft is that the cost of delivering a solution based on their technologies is lower than other, so called free options – this is because it can take up to seven times longer to develop code for other platforms.
