Ruby on Rails

We believe that dynamic languages and frameworks such as Ruby on Rails are the future of software development – while they might not be appropriate for every application, in many cases they can give you productivity and flexibility far beyond what can be achieved with older, more static languages. That said, most people are coming to Rails from a “small shop” background, without the perspective that large-team, enterprise level development brings.

Cogent can bring the discipline and experience of large scale enterprise development to smaller development projects – a valuable and unusual combination in the current market! In particular, we have extensive experience with agile techniques that are fairly new to many developers – test driven development, continuous integration, metrics driven development, velocity driven planning and iterative development are just some of the practices that we’ve used on Rails projects.
