• Graphics and Imaging Applications
  We develop graphics and imaging applications on Mac OS X's using its native graphics stack which is composed of Quartz, OpenGL, and QuickTime. In addition to these we make extensive use of Core Image which is part of the Core Graphics Framework. We at Sourcebits have extensive experience in making Vector & Raster applications, Quartz effects, Core Image Filters etc We also developed algorithmic rich graphics/video applications using face detection technology.
  
  Vector logo design was never so easy before! With Logo Design Pro you can get started to create your professional logo within minutes, choosing from pre-designed templates of your custom ones. Check out LDS Pro.
• Video/Audio Applications
  At Sourcebits we have developed quite a few Video, Audio applications for Mac OS X platform that are based on QuickTime. Fpr Video applications we take advantage of QTkit, the modernized object-oriented programming interface—to easily create QuickTime-savvy Cocoa-based Mac OS X applications. We also make extensive use of Quartz, Core Video, Core Audio & Core Animation to develop multimedia applications.
  
  And FunBooth is the perfect example of our Video aplications. FunBooth is a web cam software that lets you take laugh-out-loud funny, scary or outright silly digital photos of yourself!
• Driver Development
  Sourcebits uses the I/O Kit, Apple's object-oriented driver-development framework, to create in-kernel or application-level drivers for driver development. In addition, the I/O Kit adds threading, communication, and data-management primitives for dealing with issues related to multiprocessing, task control, and I/O-transfers; and a robust, efficient match-and-load mechanism that scales well to all bus types.
• Server/Client/Database Applications
  We develop Server/Client applications using various native programming interfaces offered by Mac OS X Server/Client platform. Some of the services/programming interfaces that we actively use to develop these applications are Open Directory for centralized LDAP directory-based resource management, Open Directory plug-in libraries, networked file sharing services, Common UNIX Printing System etc etc.
• Games
  Games are all about high-performance graphics, great sound and no hassle networking. We at Sourcebits have extensive experience in OpenGL, CGDirectDisplay for immersive and "cinematic" 3D graphics and also high-performance 2D "sprite" graphics. For sound we use OpenAL leveraging Apple's Core Audio API. For networking we use Bonjour zero-configuration networking architecture and I/o Kit.
• Application/Game Porting
  Sourcebits is at home when it comes to porting applications/games from windows to mac. We use Xcode that provides a user interface to many industry standard and open source tools, including the GNU Compiler Collection (GCC), javac, jikes, and the GNU Debugger (GDB). Xcode contains templates for creating applications, frameworks, libraries, plug-ins, command-line tools, and Java applications and applets, and supports both Cocoa and Carbon development using C, C++, Objective-C, and Java.
• Widgets
  Widget development for Dashboard is done using Dashcode as the compiler. We use various web technologies to develop widgets for Dashboard, some of them are JavaScript, DOM web kit programming, Quartz composer web kit etc.

• We have expertise in the following Web Technologies
  
  

  PHP & MySQL

  Ruby on Rails

  ActionScript 3.0 / Flash / Flex / Adobe Integrated Runtime

  JavaScript / AJAX

  XHTML & CSS Slicing

  Content Management System
• PHP & MySQL
  PHP/MySQL is currently the most popular serverside technology combo in the world, almost always available on all web hosts. Their open-source nature, popularity and easy of development in the platform has lead to the development of hundreds of thousands of PHP/MySQL websites supporting serverside processes. PHP/MySQL have proven to be very efficient for managing relatively minor tasks on small-size websites to running immensely popular websites.
  
  Our development in PHP/MySQL is centered on object-oriented principles and database best practices. Check out Upada for a preview of our PHP/MySQL work.
• Ruby on Rails
  Ruby on Rails, a very popular Model View Controller (MVC) web framework created by David Heinemeier Hansson, is the inspiration behind many of the PHP based web frameworks we see today. It is written in Ruby (Made in Japan), a very elegant object-oriented language. The elegance of the language and the framework design is very well reflected in the consistent and productive development process and the resulting scalable websites.
  
  We keep ourselves updated with the latest releases of Ruby and Ruby on Rails. We take great pleasure in developing websites based on the Rails framework. Publishy and AirFare are our demo web applications driven by Ruby on Rails.
• ActionScript 3.0 / Flash / Flex / AIR
  The Adobe technology package of Flash, Flex and AIR, programmed using ActionScript 3.0 are alternative interfaces to traditional HTML/JavaScript browser content and desktop applications. Flash makes interactive games and animations to come alive in the browser, Flex provides a full web application development environment, AIR makes it possible to develop cross-platform desktop applications specially targeted at web services at minimal cost and reduced development time. They are the prefered platform for many, if not all Rich Internet Applications (RIAs).
  
  The strict-typed, object-oriented nature of ActionScript 3.0 makes it possible to develop very innovative RIAs using Flash, Flex and AIR. Check out PixelPerfect and MyBay to see two of our works developed for the Flash player.
• JavaScript / AJAX
  JavaScript is the technology that makes AJAX and DHTML possible. It is the universal clientside programming language which runs on all modern browsers. Since the 'Web2.0 revolution', JavaScript has taken centerstage and is expected to remain so for a long time.
  
  We have a very core-level approach to JavaScript, which not only helps us understand the language better but also makes it possible to have programmatic control over the JavaScript frameworks we use. All visual effects on the current website you are on and QuestionPad (alpha stage) and Publishy are JavaScript-driven.
• XHTML & CSS Slicing
  Looking to convert your website design in PSD to code? Send us your designs and our professional developers will convert anything you can create into semantically correct, W3C compliant XHTML and CSS code in 3 days.

  Hand Coded XHTML

  Structured CSS

  W3C Compliant Code

  Support For All Major Browsers

  Optimized Images

  
  
• CMS Websites
  We specialize in developing CMS-based websites using Drupal, ExpressionEngine, Joomla, TextPattern and other popular CMSes. The current Sourcebits website is a powered by Drupal.
  
  CMS makes maintaining and updating a website as easy as just a matter of few clicks. Specially developed plugins also makes it possible to include advanced features on the website for various purposes.
