Posted on 17/02/2010 in News — No comments
Brown Beagle Software and MadPilot Productions are running 4-day intensive Ruby on Rails workshops in March.
It is designed to get web developers who work in PHP, or .Net up-to-speed in Rails in about four classes. We will cover Ruby, Rails and unit testing as well as deployment.
There are two streams: Monday 1st-22nd March 2010 and Thursday 4th-25th March 2010. Cost is $220.
We willl be sharing some of our home-grown hints and tips that we have mastered over the past 4–5 years working in Rails.
For those of you that are interested, head over to http://railstraining.in and enrol. Spots are limited, so you better hurry!

The MadPilot Office will be shut from 24th of December until 11th of January. Whilst I will be checking my email periodically, I can't guarantee a prompt response, so if your query is urgent (ie you can't access your website, email isn't working or you can't take payments) please call me on my mobile: 0409 293 183
Have an awesome break, and we'll see you in the new year!
Sayers Food is live

Grant from Speak and I have just launched a web site for my favourite cafe in Leederville (dare I say Perth) — Sayers Food
For this project, Grant has experimented with Golden ratios (in what he calls über grid), and the results are amazing.
Be sure to check it out, and to follow them on twitter.
The Adam and Eve Projects goes live
Posted on 13/10/2009 in News — No comments
Back in the dark ages of the web (6 or so years ago), I worked as a developer for a London-based fashion broadcaster, called SHOWstudio, where I worked on some cool projects like the first ever mobile camera-phone to website gateway (using the then brand new Nokia 7650).
Fast-forward to last week, and I'm pushing out a new Fashion and Art broadcaster: The Adam and Eve Projects. Ironically, I got the job via a guy I used to work with at show, Paul Bruty and one of the first projects includes my old boss: Nick Knight.
Each week, there will be a new project from some really big names in the fashion and art world.

8 Limbs Ashtanga Yoga site goes live

I'd like to think that the twotwenty crew is part of the small community of business here around Carr Place in Leederville. I love the fact that we know the names of the business owners around us and that we exchange pleasantries as we pass each other on the street.
Having a web company next door can be really handy when you need a website revamp — just ask the Gregor and Monica from 8 Limbs yoga!
They approached us to look at a new website for them which was launched in the late hours of yesterday evening. The design, which was quite ambitious (as far as website go that is) was done by Adrianne at bird.STUDIOS, and was expertly cut out by twotwenty's own Pascal Bompard.
The site runs on SchwaCMS, with the shopping cart addon, and has a custom built timetable and class management system.
Whilst it was a challenging build, the result really mirrors feeling of the studio.
