DEVELOPMENT

Our development method centers on iterative, behavior driven development. What does this mean for you? This means that the code behaves the way it should. It means that your site is tested every step of the way from prototype to release. It also means that we make changes quickly and release updates often.

We even take our site development one step further. Instead of stopping at testing the code, we actually test the site's behavior in most modern browsers. Using the Selenium functional testing suite, we can catch almost all behavior-related errors before the code moves to production. This means you get better code, quicker.

Whether you are looking for a simple site, development for a new startup, or a scalable enterprise-grade solution we can deliver. With experience in developing PHP across many different environments and with a wide variety of tools, N2 Neuron can develop a solution to fit almost any need.

Our previous PHP projects have ranged from simple ecommerce sites all the way to scalable processes running on clusters of servers. Every PHP project we undertake is developed in a behavior driven method using the PHPSpec testing framework. Additionally, we functionally test all sites using the Selenium testing suite.

We build most PHP projects using the Model-View-Controller architecture and the Zend PHP Framework. This doesn't mean we aren't flexible! If you need a specific framework or a custom solution that can scale easily, we are more than happy to accommodate your needs.

If you need a custom Ruby on Rails project, Ruby coding, or just some Rails site maintenance we can help. With experience developing Rails sites used to run hundreds of domains or simple corporate websites, we can meet the needs of most any client.

We understand what it takes to make Rails scale. From page, action, and fragment caching all the way to decoupling processes from the Rails framework, we can make your site screaming fast. We can also help you determine hardware and software requirements, then deploy and scale your Rails app for you.

What's more, our Rails projects are developed from a test-first, behavior driven perspective. Every action and scenario is planned and tested using the RSpec framework. We even use the HAML and SASS tools to generate semantically organized HTML and CSS. This keeps your display code clean, organized, and maintainable. Then we test the whole thing in Selenium to make sure it behaves like it should in all the major browsers.
