Innova is expert in a broad array of specific technologies, with new tools added consistently.
Languages
- PHP, Python, Ruby, C#, VB/VBA, SQL
Frameworks and major libraries
- Zend Framework
We use Zend Framework in most PHP web applications. This MVC framework provides rapid application development and ensures consistent, maintainable applications. We're experts in Zend, with experience writing large, sophisticated enterprise applications, plugins, and phpSprockets, a complementary library to Zend.
We've used Zend since about 2006, being among the first developers to use its pre-1.0 release.
- ASP.NET
For clients that prefer a Microsoft technology stack, we offer ASP.NET development using either C# or VB.
Unlike most ASP development shops, we create user-experiences beyond what is available working within the Windows Forms-based visual development environment, including the latest AJAX applications using hot javascript frameworks like jQuery and Ext.
We also have experience using Microsoft's new MVC Framework, and can lead the way to a Microsoft-based system that uses the powerful MVC design pattern.
- Ruby on Rails
We're one of the only Ohio development shops with experience in Ruby on Rails, and probably the only healthcare-technology company that does Rails apps for hire.
We've built Rails applications for small internal tools, call-center and enterprise use, and Facebook applications.
- Drupal
We've developed more than 20 projects based on the Drupal Content Management System, with experience building large, interactive sites, plugin development, theme development, search engine optimization, and sophisticated content syndication techniques.
- Wordpress
We've lost track of all of the WordPress projects we've successfully deployed. We have expertise in theme development, plugin development, integration with existing websites, security, and content syndication.
- Joomla
We're not doing much Joomla work anymore, but can help customers with legacy applications.
