Integration testing with Capybara

Capybara is nothing entirely new and acceptance testing certainly isn’t, but there are still a lot of web developers out there that haven’t given it a go yet and they really are missing a trick. I just want to run through the main advantages with some pointers where to get started.

Behind our jukebox

If you take on Kyan as a client you’ll soon be aware that we love our music in the office.

We used to use a 3rd party music player, but decided a few years ago to build our own; this gives you a lot more flexibility in exactly how it works.

Hosting Kyan.com

It’s now been a week or so since we put the new Kyan.com live and we’ve been getting nothing but rave reviews from everyone who has seen the site. Whilst this is an amazing thing for us to get, it does come with some added side affects, namely the thirty thousand visitors we’ve had from around the globe coming in to see the new site for themselves.

We love Ruby on Rails

We’ve been using Ruby on Rails to build websites and web applications for a few years now. We might even consider ourselves one of the leading UK Ruby on Rails specialists.

We thought it was about time we wrote about reasons we use it and why it’s great for our clients.

Read all about our approach to Ruby on Rails development.
