OpenDojo is a unique software development group specializing in the delivery of modern web applications developed in PHP, Ruby on Rails (RoR), Python, Java/OpenJDK, and Open CFML.

We believe the way forward as technologists (and thus in society as a whole) is through the employment and advocacy of Free and Open Source Software. As a result, you'll find our passion and expertise in delivering results using these systems to be without peer--at OpenDojo, it's not just the technologies we're thrilled about, but how Free Software can make a better world.

We are very familiar with the wide range of Free/Open options available, and can recommend, build, and deploy cutting-edge solutions for a fraction of what others may charge. Our fluency in this domain is excellent, and you will be surprised with how quickly your projects complete. Our agility and flexibility mean you have complete freedom to imagine a better web.

At OpenDojo, we make the hard things easy, and the impossible things possible.

Cloud Computing

The promise of cloud computing is that software that once ran on local, physical machines, now runs "somewhere else," in a remote datacenter. Although the hype is significant and the dangers are real, there are certain benefits that can reward the careful cloud user. At OpenDojo we have experience in the Google App Engine (GAE) and Amazon EC2 services. Using these wisely can give your web presence an unparalleled level of speed and reliability, at a great price. By integrating their platforms with Free and Open Source software, OpenDojo bestows upon you the ability to deploy world-class solutions rapidly and effeciently.
