Enough of this wordy marketing/writing-for-the-web stuff that Steven is writing about – we all know that everyone just wants to know about programming! Okay… maybe not everyone wants to know about code but I thought some people might be interested to know a little bit more about how we’re developing web apps here at Edge […]

Those Weren’t the Days
Browsing the new undergraduate prospectus for 2008, it’s interesting comparing the content to that within the ‘Prospective Students’ area of the corporate website.
