Perl programming and consultancy

Castle Amber is a software development and IT consultancy company having a solid experience with a wide range of programming languages and development tools.

Since its foundation in 1994 by John Bokma, many dedicated solutions have been provided to a growing number of customers. The academic background (MSc) of John and his broad experience as a software developer with information technology provide the customers of Castle Amber with sound solutions to various IT problems and questions encountered. Currently, Castle Amber uses mainly the Perl programming language in our solutions, but only if this is the best choice. However, we have also experience with the Java programming language and other programming languages.

IT projects

For your information, short descriptions of some of the IT projects Castle Amber has done are grouped in two classes:

Program code reuse and Open Source

With each IT project an attempt is made to use existing open source software and program libraries where possible to reduce the development time as much as possible. For example in solutions that use the Perl programming language Castle Amber tries to reuse as many existing program code as possible by using Perl modules available at the Comprehensive Perl Archive Network (CPAN) or developed in house.

In short, Castle Amber prefers the use of open source software (OSS) and program libraries to ensure a solid support base for you and also reduce the software development and maintenance costs of your IT projects.

Version control

We keep all the program code we develop and related file under version control using Subversion.
