Our competences

Company size

Do you remember the point about our values ? We won't try to hide the fact: Cipher Brain is still a very small company, a one-person company. But we have specialized friends, partners and relations, to help us if a project needs it.

This small size means that we are very flexible, attentive to details, that we really care for our customers.

Programmation

Languages used:

• Perl, ideal for fast scripting, processing textual data, accessing all sort of formats due to its libraries.
• Java, and its rich libraries, open APIs, multiple implementations, communication capabilities, strong typing, is able to assure the base infrastructure of the most demanding, reliable projects.
• XML, XSL,... is not a such a language, but represent a usefull, and standardized way to store information (XML), and transform it (XSL)
• C & C++ are usefull when the easiness and powerfullness of Java must be traded for the speed and API access which is easily obtainable only through those languages.
• Tcl/Tk can be usefull for creating small scripts and rapid GUI development
• Php is a fast spreading, cheap solution for simple web applications. Note: Cipher Brain doesn't (yet) have a experience in Php comparable to the one in the other above languages, although this site has been programmed in Php by Cipher Brain.
• bash, sh,... are usefull for small scripts, essentially of Unix-like OSes.

Cipher Brain had experience in the next kind of software:

• Web site realisation for e-business
• Factory-driving JIT application
• EAI software auditing
• Numerical analysis programmation in C & C++, with data mining in Perl
