We’ve got diverse backgrounds, hailing from all over Europe and the rest of the world. We’re fluent in a lot of languages: C#, C++, ASP.NET, SVG, JavaScript, AJAX, SilverLight, SQL... (and over a dozen human ones as well).
We are agile enthusiasts and use scrum to manage our work (for more info on agile development, see this blog from Casper, one of our developers).
In our spare time, a lot of us write blogs (see our blogroll) and we enjoy life with our families and friends.
