Thus Spaketh Idd Salim

Our recruitment process went well. We interviewed over 30 bright and very talented young coders from all walks of life. Some came in suits, some came cycling. I was pleasantly suprises on how the education quality has improved at UoN and Strath. Kudos to the IT departments! So, after all was coded and debugged, we had to select like 4 to start with in our Q1 expansion plan.

SMC will now officially expand its programming docket. The following are the architectural changes we are undergoing and would like developers aspiring to join us in Q3 2010 (or just for sharing) to learn these skills because we pay well. Actually, any programmer who will join us with a working and ready-to sell product [or killer idea], will get life-time equity on that product and we will adopt it into our mainstream.

• Symbian Programming – We will be developing Symbian apps mainly using the Python programming language, but the good old, sexy, faithful and voluptuous Java ME will still be called upon from time to time. We will release a Symbian/J2ME game and a 2 positively social apps in Q1.
• Blackberry Programming – We will release a business tool for blackberry that will take EA by storm in Q1 2010. That is all I am allowed to say, so as not to get shot. SMC will be releasing information about availability on her (soon to be redesigned) main Website.
• Kohana - No… Daniels. Not Kahuna. Just simple Kohana. We are going to ditch the Procedural programming practice and ACTIVELY use our OOP PHP and Python resources to redevelop all out websites using Kohana as the PHP  Framework of choice. Sorry CakePHP, Symfony and all the other pretenders. Kohana had bigger balls. We will redesign all our client’s website ala Zunguka version 4, CititizenTV, Hot96 FM etc on Kohana…

I wish I had more time to blog about the 3 other things we are working on, but Mbugua is giving me that ‘Go back to code!’ eye…

Laters!
