Developping software for the internet is big business. Since the dot-com boom has come down to earth, everybody remained with their own ideas and plans how the internet can change the way we do business, the way information flows through an organisation and through a complete chain of organisations. The internet, as a low cost and highly available communications medium, has changed the world as we know it forever.

When it comes to processing information, much is possible. Cozmanova has used different technologies for different solutions in the past. Our server philosophy is to keep things as simple, open and flexible as possible, and as such to create a maintainable and stable result.

Keywords to achieve this are:

• Unix servers (Solaris, OpenBSD, Linux)

• Apache webservers

• Open source development tools (PHP, Eclipse, Java, MySQL, PostgreSQL)

• Open source software projects (osCommerce, Mambo, phpBB)

• Proprietary servers (Microsoft Windows, Internet Information Services, ASP, MS SQL Server)

But the most important thing is to find out which tools are the best for the job. We know enough to make the right choices.

Cozmanova is also responsible for the technical developments of Gearjunkies (http://www.gearjunkies.com), a very extensive resource and community site for electronic music production and Djs. This website also makes use of our own AuthenticationFramework technology.

This section of the website offers all sorts of information about problems and solutions concerning web development.
