A young, dynamic company ...

Admit (honestly) that you expected to see exactly this in the first post of a new corporate blog! Unfortunately, or fortunately, we don’t have marketing staff and PR people in our staff, so I’ll continue to establish a dialogue with you.

Starting in 2009, I regularly published articles on various topics - starting with covering Data Mining , developing for iOS and .NET , ending with how to write a candidate’s work and what can come of it .

Further career growth (and by and large the fact that technical articles on Habré remained in marginal minority) motivated to write other articles: Butterfly effect , Who wants, he searches for opportunities, who does not want - looks for reasons , About motivation in IT , Trends cult and other articles that, to my satisfaction, have found their reader.
')

When I spoke , many people reproached me for not speaking, but doing something.

In fact, we did: led the site of the Microsoft User Group Community (unfortunately, the development of this resource had to be suspended ), now we are developing the information resource Windows Phone 7 Rocks! , we organize AppClub Kyiv (a club for startups in the field of mobile development and indie developers), as well as constantly taking part in conferences and seminars (our nearest performance will be at UAMobile in Kiev).

Currently, our field of activity is service and consulting services in the design and development for Windows Phone and Windows 8, with which we began working before their official launches.

We have more than 20 published applications on the Windows Phone Store (including applications where we act as publishers), as well as several applications for Windows 8, including an application for Mamba .

More than 750 thousand downloads for six months in the Windows Phone Store - our current result. Before the new year (and maybe earlier), we plan to get a millionth load. How we have achieved this and with whom it is necessary to agree to sleep - we will try to talk in our future publications.

Besides me, devlanfear , an experienced Microsoft architect and Microsoft experienced developer, will also share his experience. He thoroughly understands the guidelines and nuances of development for the above platforms. I, in turn, will cover more interface design issues (not to be confused with design) and application promotion with storage.

Why blog on Habré? On my defense of the candidate’s work, one of the professors said this phrase:

Alexander laid out all his intermediate results on one well-known resource (read - “Habrahabr”), where readers are not obliged to smile sweetly and say that everything is good, even in the case when the text is a complete garbage. But the reviews were mostly positive, which made me feel that the work made sense. Although she does not fit into other works that were defended in our council.

Thus, habrakhabr to some extent helped to make a pleasant impression on the defense. And before that you were helped by my advice and comments by our readers. I hope that we will continue to have an interesting and constructive dialogue.

Thanks for attention!
