Our Company is capable of creating any kind of software for you - from GUI applications to sophisticated engines and complex programs.
Most software development projects will include some if not all of the following activities:
- Research and selection of the optimal technologies
- Research of data domain and creation of detailed specifications for the project - Work-Breakdown Structures, Business Requirements documents, Technical Requirements documents.
- Creation of prototypes and demo versions
- System planning (selection of architecture, creation of interaction protocols and technical specifications for separate modules, etc.)
- System implementation (creation of specifications for system modules, coding, QA)
- Creation of project documentation (system architecture and protocols description, source code detailed description in addition to built-in comments in code)
- Creation of end-user documentation (Users Manual, Troubleshooting, Installation Guide, etc.)

When deciding on the best technology for your software project 21FIFTY analyses the skill-set at its disposal and tries to match the technology's attributes to your needs. The following are some major technologies 21FIFTY has expertise in.
JAVA
The main advantage of JAVA is that it promises that you can write a program once, and run it anywhere. Java was chosen as the programming language for network computers (NC) and has been perceived as a universal front end for the enterprise database. JAVA is simpler than other languages.
As stated in a Java language white paper by Sun Microsystems: 'Java is a simple, object-oriented, distributed, interpreted, robust, secure, architecture neutral, portable, multithreaded, and dynamic.'
Visual Studio.Net 2.0
According to Microsoft, Visual Studio 2005 provides a range of tools that offer many benefits for individual developers and software development teams:
- Be more productive and obtain faster results
- Build dynamic Windows, Web, mobile, and Office-based solutions
- Communicate and collaborate more effectively within your software teams
- Ensure quality early and often throughout the development process
- Risk is identified and reduced in the primary stages of development instead of in the closing stages.
J2EE
There's little question that J2EE is a dominant force in software architecture. J2EE offers such advantages like thread safety, incorporation of other Java libraries, dominant market share, and use of design patterns - can provide you with valuable functionality.
AJAX
Ajax is a new web approach that marries the benefits of both screen and paged-based approaches. By allowing more sophisticated functionality using easier-to-implement web standards, Ajax is proving a real alternative for creating powerful web applications.
AJAX is based on open standards supported by many browsers and platforms; this means there's no fear of vendor lock-in. 21FIFTY has experienced professionals in this field who will carry on your work adhering to the industry standards.
MySQL
MySQL is a fast, easy-to-use RDBMS (Relational Database Management System) used for databases on many Web sites. However, even though MySQL is less full featured than its commercial competitors, it has all the features needed by the large majority of database developers. It's easier to install and use than its commercial competitors, and the difference in price is strongly in MySQL's favour.
MySQL Server works on 24/7 heavy-duty systems. In most circumstances you never have to run any cleanups on MySQL Server. 21FIFTY has done numerous projects with MySQL and all have proven to be successful in achieving the client's business goals.
