About
We started Viget Labs in 1999 intent on building the best web-based software products on behalf of our clients. At that time, our core focus was software development -- our founders are engineers, and our roots are in technology. As the web has evolved, so has Viget. We've listened to our clients and now offer more services -- covering design and marketing in addition to development -- which allows us to build complete web products from concept to launch. So, while our capabilities have expanded, we're proud to maintain the heart of a tech shop.
We've been committed to the open source community for years, and we believe strongly in the value of knowledge sharing. This blog is where our developers write about the stuff we discuss at the lab -- technology, trends, tips, best practices, industry events, etc. We develop (almost) exclusively in Ruby on Rails, and most of what we discuss here reflects that focus.
What's the point? Our hope is that we can support the development community by sharing what we're learning along the way, foster some good discussion in the comments, and maybe make a few connections here and there. If you have some ideas, please pick a post and drop a comment. If you're inspired to join our team, don't be shy about contacting us. If you'd just like to read and be on your way, have at it. Thanks for visiting.
