Software Development

If you are a non-software company with a requirement for software or if you have an idea for a product you could sell but can't implement yourselves - then we might be the right people to help.

GeckoFoot BarStock is an example of how we can implement an idea with help from an expert in the field. You may have just the idea and the contacts to create the next big thing in your industry.

If you are a software company running low on resources with the right expertise - then you may be able to outsource some or all of the work to us - but there may be other ways we can help see Flexible Consultancy below.

We specialise in developing software for the Windows platform - PCs, Pocket PCs or Smart Phones.
We use the Microsoft .NET framework programming in C#.
We have backgrounds in C++ and Visual Basic and have also developed UNIX and multi-platform applications.
We support some client software in other languages but new software is developed with C#.NET.
See Software Skills for more information.

Coaching and Training

Believing that "Those who can do - should teach too!", GeckoFoot provides a limited number of training and on-the-job coaching days to small companies who have staff that need training or support with the skills we specialise in. We have no specialised trainers, just real developers who have training, presentation and interpersonal skills.

We can informally come in and talk through current problems and help with understanding the methodology, the language and the framework - as work progresses. And/or we can teach a number of formal training workshops on your own site which could include:
