Old Year and New Year
As we get started to roll in 2008, we decided to look back and evaluate the things that happened in the company in 2007. The first year of a company is always the hardest one, because is the year where you establish in a new market, and where you have to make a difference to be noticed by potential clients, and people involved in your area of work.
Of course, our goal goes beyond just being noticed, we are working hard to become authorities in the Web development space in the region, and internationally. We managed to work on some very interesting applications, and to make clients happy with what we delivered.
We already wrote about most of the things that happened, so in one paragraph, here’s our year in review. We launched restate.ae, Akhtaboot, and Soutii, all Web 2.0 applications that are very unique features not seen in the region. My book Beginning Rails was published in the summer, and I spoke at a few conferences and Rails user groups in Poland, Phoenix-AZ, Santa Clara-CA, and Dubai. We moved offices a couple of times after a long wait for office space. We hired a great designer/front-end guy who’s working on some great new projects.
We worked with great clients from quite a few different places, such as Jordan, Abu Dhabi, and California. We performed a lot of remote work, and have been very successful at delivering application on time regardless of time zones. We started to write open source code and share some of the things we work on every day back to the community.
A lot happened in 2007, but it’s just the tip of the iceberg for SpinBits. We are starting the year busy with client work and will be see clients launch a few sites/applications we worked on very soon. We are also planning to start working on a couple of in-house products that will take us to the next level, more on that very soon.
Happy New Year!
