Hello World! See how creative the Start Software developers are when using the Alpha Anywhere development tool (Tue, 14 Dec 2021)
We've just had a lot of fun presenting one of Alpha Software's weekly Wednesday webinars for their Alpha Anywhere development environment. Our topic? How to do something very boring - the classic newbie programmer's "Hello World!" app - in increasing interesting, complex and bizarre ways! Hope you enjoy watching the recording of it here on YouTube. We certainly enjoyed putting it together! If we can help you with your Alpha Anywhere software developments - perhaps you need some support, some mentoring, or perhaps you even need a system looking after - do get in touch.

Start Software is proud to be a Living Wage Employer (Tue, 22 Oct 2019)
We are delighted to announce that Start Software is now officially a Living Wage Employer.

The real Living Wage is based on the cost of living and is voluntarily paid by over 5,000 UK employers who believe a hard day's work deserves a fair day's pay. We have been working towards achieving this certification over the last few months and received notification of a successful accreditation this week. If you're interested in learning more, there is a great explanation of the difference between the Minimum Wage, the National Living Wage, and the real Living Wage here https://www.livingwage.org.uk/what-real-living-wage.
