Web Application Development
Ruby on Rails Consulting
Panther Software specialises in delivering dynamic and database driven web sites using Ruby on Rails.
Ruby on Rails is a modern, objected oriented and MVC based web development framework that allows us to rapidly develop complex Web 2.0 and Ajax driven web sites. Simple web sites can be developed in a matter of days whereas more complex web sites can be prototyped in weeks and deployed in under two months. Please visit pantherFotos to see our latest Ruby on Rails application, which contains over 60 database tables and was developed in just over two months.

We've had extensive experience in developing websites using the following technology domains and solutions:

- Flash based multi-file uploads
- User created site content
