AirBlade is a small, high quality British web development company. We build products to help people do their jobs better, and consult for a few select clients.
We work in an ‘agile’ manner, and are expert in all stages of software delivery. We have a deep knowledge of the Ruby ecosystem and the HTTP stack, including Rails and Sinatra. Developers worldwide use our open source software, and we have sold tens of thousands of copies of our technical screencasts and book.
We get things done — on time and on budget.
We operate from the Basel-Zurich area, Lake Geneva, and Oxford.
