For EagleEnvision.NeT, 2007 was quite a big year. Most of our company's history was spent in this year, but we also got most of our business through the course of 2007. Also 2007 was a time of great change. In 2007, we fully adopted ASP.NET and JavaScript in various ways. Our company made some big leaps to achieve a very high quality we can offer to our clients.

 

Most recently, we have started to code our our new website. We have, however, swayed off track a little bit by recoding the entire code-base over again, but in a better way. We are using better techniques like RESTful architecture still with a continued focus on performance, XHTML compliance, and browser compatibility. We should be on track to release our new site onto the web sometime in the first quarter of 2008.

 

With our new website, we are taking a look at new approaches to web design. For the first time, our CSS and JavaScript almost work in conjunction. We have thought out new approaches to performance enhancing, through the help of Yahoo!'s patterns and practices, and adopted our own methods of enhancing our code so that the user is not sitting and waiting for a page to load. Hopefully in 2008 we can make the same leaps into making the applications we build more performant from the user's perspective. Hopefully in 2008 we will start to take a look at architecture a little bit closer, as well, as we have in the last few months, to really deliver a product that is secure and provides rich functionality to our clients.

 

I hope that we will be doing a lot more with emerging technologies such as WPF and Silverlight to really deliver rich web and desktop interfaces in the next year. These technologies provide an experience that is innovative and just down-right sweet. These technologies can be seen in very cutting edge products like the new Yahoo! Messenger and Microsoft Surface. We hope to integrate these tools and practices into our daily work to raise the bar on quality.

 

Finally, 2008 will bring a time of interoperability. For the first time, our company will use other big web player's APIs to be integrated into our products. Our clients will have rich administration functionality at their disposal on our custom-built admin interfaces with functionality from company's like Google and StrikeIron. I will detail that a little later.

 

So 2008 looks like another promising year for EagleEnvision.NeT. Hopefully we can provide some really cool stuff that our clients and viewers will certainly enjoy. From Matthew, and I, we hope you have a very Happy New Year!
