.Net
The Microsoft .NET programming model allows enterprise developers to focus fewer resources on where or how an application runs, and more resources on what the application does--where they can add real value.

CircleSource is a Microsoft Certified Partner with a strong expertise and focus on .Net. We have programmers with Microsoft Certifications in .Net who leverage the benefits of .Net Framework to the enterprise applications we build.

Some of the key business benefits of .Net programming that we exploit while developing integrated applications are –
	Improved Performance. Faster Time to Market Lower Operating Costs Easier, Faster Deployment Device Independence Easy Programming Model Enhanced Development Environment Integration of code written in various languages

The various .Net technologies that we have expertise in are –
	.Net framework classes ASP.NET using C#, VB.Net .Net Remoting Windows Forms

J2EE
J2EE solves the problem of cost and complexity in developing multi-tiered services that are scalable, highly available, secure and reliable. It achieves this by providing an open standard architecture through the J2EE Platform and the J2EE Application Model. This platform allows developers to focus on the business logic while J2EE handles all the low level details. With J2EE, services are easily enhanced and rapidly deployed, allowing business to quickly react to competitive changes.

The Benefits of J2EE programming that CircleSource exploits while building software architectures are-
	J2EE provides a seamless Java solution across all layers Separation of tasks in the layered platform architecture Open set of standards— EJB, JSP, servlets, JDBC, JNDI, RMI Portability Scalability

Web Services
CircleSource has in-depth expertise in web services development. An XML Web Service is a set of functions packaged as a single entity and published to provide data and services to other applications. Applications access Web services through industry standard web protocols and data formats such as HTTP, XML, and the Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP), with no need to worry about how each Web Service is implemented. Web services are the building blocks for creating open distributed systems.

Benefits
Interoperability - Any Web service can interact with any other Web service through SOAP.

Ubiquity - Web services communicate using HTTP and XML. Therefore, any device that supports these technologies can both host and access Web services.

Low Barrier to Entry - The concepts behind Web services are easy to understand and free toolkits allow developers to quickly create and deploy Web services. In addition, some of these toolkits allow pre-existing components to be easily exposed as Web services.

Industry Support - Most of the major software companies are supporting SOAP and the surrounding Web services technology.

Figure illustrates how Web services can be linked to create a distributed application.

Agile Development with Ruby on Rails
We develop web applications, using the agile web application development methodology with Ruby on Rails. Other tools like Basecamp, Trac, Subversion, Blogs and Aggregators enhance the joy in development.

Rails is a full-stack framework for developing powerful database-backed web applications accessible using any internet browser according to the Model-View-Control pattern. Rails is built on the Interpreted, dynamically typed, pure object-oriented, scripting language for fast, easy programming, from Japan named Ruby. It’s Simple, straightforward and extensible. Scalable, reliable and maintainable applications using cutting edge industry developments like Ajax, object-relational mapping (ORM), convention over configuration promoting simplicity, generators to automate repeating tasks, integrated test framework, automated application deployment promoting frequent releases to production, web services integration and migrations with the ability to deploy/rollback database schema changes, can be developed in weeks instead of months using Ruby on Rails.
