recruiting

As the new Managing Director / CEO of Soprano Brain Alliance I have had the pleasure of stepping in the middle of surging demand and huge growth opportunities.

It seems that PHP based solutions, like Drupal, Zend Framework and others are conquering new ground all the time; gaining significant market share as the household name and choice of large organizations mass-migrating their various sites into Drupal, amongst other PHP market victories. Similar shift can also be seen in more and more B2B and professional services field as well; as companies like Apple are not going to support Java in their iPhone and iPad products; which means that this needs to be a design consideration from now on. PHP is also gaining market share from Microsoft's .NET, meanwhile Ruby on Rails and Python isn't really flying all that well - and the lack of RoR/Python developers doesn't quite help at all.

Steve Job's quote on Java puts it quite well ;) "Java's not worth building in. Nobody uses Java anymore. It's this big heavyweight ball and chain." Recently I have received feedback from many corporate customers that they feel the same when it comes to Java and web solutions; too much failure, historical baggage, too costly development, always over schedules etc. However Java still certainly has a place in enterprise backend systems and similar heavier stuff. And I still believe people can build good Java stuff, if they do it with an agile way (aka the only way).

All of this means that there's a tectonic shift in the market: so many companies and corporations are committing to PHP and building their future revenue streams on top of it! Thus we feel the need to grow and to grow fast!
