A-hoy! We’re a-bloggin’

We’re hereby entering the blog-sphere. We’re late, but now we’re here.

What you’re probably thinking right now, is “who in the world is Aptoma?” I’ll provide a short answer to that reasonably fair question; Aptoma is a small web-development company situated in Oslo, Norway. We’re something like the Arctic Programmers (which just might explain the A and P in APtoma). We’re passionate about web-development, and we’re passionate about solving problems for the new media. We’ve been so for some three years.

What will we be be blogging about? We’re sure to be blogging about web-development, and everything related to it. Other than that, it’s pretty much an open issue as to what we’ll be focusing on. Still, I’m pretty sure we’ll say hallo to mister MVC, including JavaScript, MySQL, PHP, HTML, performance, frameworks, processes and the likes. And, of course, we’ll follow new media topics and trends. I’m quite sure we’ll be blogging about the specifics on how we put these technologies to good use in creating what we believe to be state of the art web-applications. The only real answer to that question, however, is that we’ll only have to see what comes out of it. We’re quite excited to see for ourselves where this leads us.

Anyways. We’re here, you’re here, we’re a-bloggin’ and we’ll not be going on a brag-blogging-frenzy, like some companies do. We’re on an exploration with this blog and we’re embracing the sharing-for-mutual-benefits model. Our motivation is that our efforts will make us better at what we do. Our main goals for the company, and for ourselves, is to get better at what we do, all the time, and by any means necessary. We figure that the more we put into our blogging-, and thus our sharing-, efforts, the more it’ll be for us to get out of it. Derived from that, you can rest assured that you’ll be presented with the best tips we can offer. We’re just hoping that it’ll be worthwhile your time to follow us, and that you’ll benefit from it and hopefully you’ll let us in on your insights from time to time.

Stay tuned with rss, and we’ll try to treat your limited time respectfully, and we’ll hopefully be leveraging the signal-to-noise-ratio of the web.

We’re starting today with zero subscribers, no readers whatsoever and a lot of catching up to do. Let’s skip the rest of the formalities and get started. Hope to see you around checking up on what we’re doing, how we’re doing it, what we’re fucusing on.
