For as long as I can remember, I wanted to grow up to be a developer. Sure it was totally for the sole reason of creating video games, but still I knew that that was the path for me. But growing up, I didn’t even know that was possible until I was first introduced to programming in high school. It was during that time that I realized it was something I was great at and loved doing.

We are happy to report the successful launch of the newly redesigned Radar Online website for our client AMI.
In a recent company press release, AMI’s Chief Digital Officer Brian Kroski explained concisely the goals of the visual and technological upgrade:
Several years ago Boyle Software developed the powerful ProAct reporting application for New York City-based CodeGreen Solutions. It was a satisfying day, earlier this year, when CodeGreen returned to us to revisit and revamp the original platform.
Boyle Software continues to work with Avon, assisting the make-up giant in revamping the Web-based ordering application used by their sales representatives all around the globe.

Are you trying to truncate text according to the space available? This is something you just cannot do in the back-end. That’s the truth – unless you are really crazy and have plenty of spare time. But even approaching text truncation in the front-end is not something achievable by writing a couple of simple CSS lines. In my opinion, one of the best approaches out there is the one offered by Andres Descalzo in this discussion over at StackOverflow. I took his method and modified it to match the needs of a responsively designed site. Here’s how it’s done…
Boyle Software has several open, full-time positions for experienced Front-end Web developers with expert knowledge of HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript (vanilla and libraries like jQuery), as well as knowledge of one or more JS frameworks (especially AngularJS).
Boyle Software is pleased to add Avon to our list of clients. According to Wikipedia, Avon is one of the five biggest global beauty product concerns – and the second largest direct sales enterprise. Headquartered in New York City, we are happy to be assisting the company with front-end development – AngularJS, HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, etc. – out of their offices in Rye, New York. We look forward to more opportunities to assist this great brand!
