Bytewire Logo Conundrum
July 18th, 2010 by Elliot Reeve
Bytewire Ltd was formed towards the latter end of 2008 and to this day we have never had a logo we were fully satisfied with. We have had a range of different styles, colours and design but none of which we really fell in love with and which we were proud to say was our logo.

July 4th, 2010 by Dave Heward
Yesterday here at Bytewire we had a most interesting debate about something which was seemingly un-important when it began. Let me explain the situation quickly before I dive right into the debate at hand.

Here at Bytewire we have the football fever!

Learning how to manage progression
April 18th, 2010 by Dave Heward
The last 2 years or so have been a huge learning curve for myself and Elliot, we've gone from novice programmers to learning and juggling 4-5 different programming languages on a daily basis. Some might say an impossible task, except....its not.

5 Excellent Web Developer Tools
March 17th, 2010 by Elliot Reeve
As web developers we all use a range of different programs and tools to help us go about our day to day work. As time goes on new programs are released which take away that really annoying problem which you wish wasn't there. However as soon as that problem is eradicated we tend to forget what it was like before.

March 3rd, 2010 by Dave Heward
After an argument with a friend about the movie Avatar it made me realise that society has become ever more greedy! A machine hoovering and gobbling up all that is offered on a plate and un-politely shouting back "more please.....oh and next time make it better".

Maintaining motivation through a long project
February 28th, 2010 by Elliot Reeve
At Bytewire we are often faced with long projects which are developed over many months, sometimes even years in the case of our biggest project Street Crime and it can often be demoralising to continue to work on the same project over such a long period of time. There can be times when you feel the project is not moving along as well as you would like or you are stuck in a bit of a rut.

February 19th, 2010 by Elliot Reeve
As the use of Wordpress continues to grow with bloggers and web designers the number of plugins created is also increasing. Some plugins are superb and can really make a difference between a sub standard Wordpress blog and an excellent one, however this is not the case for all the plugins.

February 17th, 2010 by Elliot Reeve
Wordpress is becoming a more widely used tool by web developers to create websites. Originally Wordpress was seen solely as a tool for blogging, they were easy to setup and you can choose from a selection of free templates to make your blog stand out from the crowd.
