PWN Consulting has accepted a contract to render various software development services for F.H. Black & Company , a Canadian management accountant consulting firm.  This contract is effective 7 July 2008.  These services are rendered locally from Vancouver, Canada.

We believe that our experience and understanding of building rich internet applications will help further the portfolio of services F.H. Black & Company can offer their clients.

This will be the fourth branding iteration since PWN Consulting started doing business way back in 2001. This time we decided to modernise our brand by utilising clean lines and vivid colours, emphasising our adaptability.

We firmly believe that in business, you are initially judged by the way you present yourself. Since we support open standards, the new website supports this by continuing the trend of being standards compliant - in this case XHTML and CSS.

To prove our attention to detail, try our web site on any modern web browser - be it Internet Explorer 5,6 or 7 (Vista), Opera 9, Safari 2, FireFox 1.5 - even Lynx (the Unix text client). The same attention to detail will be clearly evident in any product we create for our clients.

Enjoy!

Today is the release of BugZapper II - first announced on 17 November 2004. It has been running stable as PWN Consulting's Defect Tracking system of choice for several months now. The last major additions were made a month ago, and since BugZapper II passed QA with flying colours it is ready for GA (General Availability).

The production version can be found here. It is being actively used by two of our major customers at the moment. If you are interested in using it in your own company, please feel free to contact us.

PWN Consulting is about to release a brand new component that forms part of the WebMVC suite of frameworks. This component is called LogMon. It is a sophisticated J2EE based logging and monitoring solution for any application - be that J2EE or J2SE based Java, C++, Perl etc.

We say "about to release" because we have made no official release, however we consider it stable enough that it has been deployed on this server. We are just waiting for the DNS changes to take effect. Once it has proven stable enough in our production environment, we will announce its release officially. The high level architecture is shown below:

LogMon forms part of WebMVC 2.00 which is currently very close to completion. The DBLayer's caching subsystem has been significantly enhanced to support much more complex queries. Several other enhancements to the framework had found their way in. Check back soon for the release announcement.
