- Within two calendar months of starting the project, VitalSource was taking online book orders.
VitalSource Technologies contracted Mike to design, develop, and deploy their new online bookstore. It lets readers buy and download over 1,000 titles—textbooks, reference books, and classic works such as Shakespeare's plays—over the Web.
VitalSource Store is a Ruby on Rails web application rendered in a web view of a desktop application. Once a book is purchased it's automatically downloaded to a user's machine where you can read and annotate the book in the VitalSource Bookshelf client application.
"This is the first completely positive consulting experience we have ever had. Mike and James Duncan Davidson did a killer job building our online store using Ruby on Rails. They were reliable and flexible. They brought up issues that we didn't think of, and they handled problems quickly with great dedication. When you hire smart, hard working people, everything is easier." Willie Abrams VP, Software Development VitalSource Technologies
