Farix technology competence
We provide our clients with the wide range of technologies and the most efficient development approaches to create an outstanding and effective solutions to boost up your business.
Back-end development
The back end of a website consists of a server, an application, and a database. A back-end developer builds and maintains the technology that powers those components which, together, enable the user-facing side of the website to even exist in the first place. In order to make the server, application, and database communicate with each other, back-end devs use server-side languages like PHP, Ruby, Python, Java, and .Net to build an application, and tools like MySQL, Oracle, and SQL Server to find, save, or change data and serve it back to the user in front-end code. At Fayrix we have a great experience in back-end development that you can check – from developing mobile platforms to building an advanced solution to manage the whole cycle of education process at schools.
PHP
Despite the fact that PHP was developed in 1994, it is still the most common language for server-side development. PHP is open source, and all features and updates are free to use. Today there are many popular projects based on PHP like Facebook or WordPress. Since it was designed specifically for the web, developers need less time to create websites with dynamic features.
Can be used for:
– Web applications. Is great and effective solution for the e-commerce platforms. For example, WooCommerce was also fully developed by PHP. It runs nearly half of all online purchases in the world.
– CMS development.
– Social networks.
Pros
– PHP development provides many opportunities. With the proper level of knowledge, using the template engine you can create not only scripts for web applications, but also full-fledged programs.
– Cross-platform development. PHP can be run on any operating system, including unixoids.
– Free distribution. Perhaps PHP was not so popular for creating web-applications, if it were not free, like most tools for working with it. Analogs, which basically can do the same job, usually cost more.
– Variety of training materials. That is why, if something doesn’t work out for you, you can always look into the search engine: your problem, most likely, has already been encountered by someone.
– Continuous development. The fact that so much is known about the template engine today means only one thing: they will cope with the shortcomings, sooner or later.
Cons
– Narrow specialization. If you have learned PHP development, then probably you’ve got only one way – to the web. PHP is tuned for programming for the Internet.
– Safety. The widespread use played a cruel joke: holes in PHP appears faster than developers manage to close them. It is difficult to predict everything.
– Code discrepancies. PHP is full of various residues from different development languages. And all of them can even be concentrated in one expression of the code.
Summary
– Low development cost
– Wide choice of candidates
– Fayrix cases with PHP: Pocket Doctor, app for the largest European railway company (nda).
Front-end development
The front end of a website is the part that users interact with. Everything that you see when you’re navigating around the Internet, from fonts and colours to dropdown menus and sliders, is a combo of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript being controlled by your computer’s browser. Front-end developers are responsible for a website’s user-facing code and the architecture of its immersive user experiences. What is more, front-end devs need to be familiar with frameworks like Bootstrap, Foundation, Backbone, AngularJS, and EmberJS, which ensure great-looking content no matter the device, and libraries like jQuery and LESS, which package code into a more useful, time-saving form.
React
React – is JavaScript library, it’s source code was opened by Facebook in 2013. This framework is great for creating huge web applications where data can change on a regular basis. There is a lot that can be done on React js – both large projects with a complex structure, and something modest. React is popular within startups – since with this tool it is easier to get paid back than with Angular.

Java
Java is a programming language and computing platform that was first released in 1995. Java is fast, highly protected, and reliable. Despite the growing popularity of Go and Python, Java has remained at the top of the list for more than a decade. And its everywhere – from laptops to data centers, from game consoles to supercomputers used for scientific research, etc.
Can be used for:
– Android applications. Despite the active growth of Kotlin, Java is still the de facto main language of Android applications. Thus, all Java developers can very easily become Android programmers. Although Android uses the Android SDK instead of the JDK, however, the code is written in Java.
– Software products. Among other important things, Java was used to create Eclipse, OpenOffice, Gmail, Atlassian and others.
– Financial programs. Java is one of the most sought-after languages in financial industry. It is used to create reliable, fast and simple websites both on the server side and on the client side.
– POS. Many companies are using Java to create PoS systems, since their creation usually requires cross-platform and an extensive staff of specialists.
– Trading systems. One of the popular bank management program for front-end and feedback Murex was also written in Java.
– Big Data Software. What is more Hadoop was written in Java. Scala, Kafka and Spark use the JVM. In addition, Java provides access to many proven libraries, debugging and monitoring tools.
- Large community, so developers can get help on almost any issue.
- Cross-platform – it is not limited to the development of Android applications. Java is also great for developing cross-platform applications.
- Resources. Since Android is developed in Java, this language has ready-made libraries and SDKs to facilitate the development process.
- Speed. Java requires more memory and, compared to other languages, could performance much slower.
- Java is harder to write code. Java code is long, and therefore, it takes more time to write, it has more errors and bugs.
- Average development cost.
- Average number of vacancies.
