Xtensive is software development company focused on development for Microsoft .NET platform. We develop components and products for .NET developers as well as custom software solutions for small and medium sized enterprises.

From the very outset in 2003 our company was demonstrating stable growth – we’ve passed the way from the group of 3 enthusiasts to medium sized company – now one of the most well-known in Ekaterinburg.Today our team consists of 20 professionals.

Our Aspirations

Invent! Deliver conceptually new, competitive and featured solutions. If we develop a product or solution, it should be the best in its market area.
Design with flexibility in mind – all artificial walls and borders certainly aren't well-accepted. Everyone prefers to be as free, as it's possible.
Be open – practically:

  • Provide the information about the future of our products. Check out our news blog.
  • Listen to the customers' requirements! DataObjects.Net Feature Requests Forum proves this.
  • Provide the complete source code
  • Encourage customers to contribute to the product.
Care about the customers – every customer should feel he won't be left alone with even a tiny problem. Help a.s.a.p!

Our Team

Being brief, we have an excellent software department team:

  • Some of us are formerly winners of regional ACM programming contests
  • All of us are IT professionals with strong theoretical basis – we all are bachelors of science at least
  • Most of us have practical experience in wide range of technologies – it is definitely much wider then a set of .NET and RDBMS-related ones. This certainly helps us a lot.

Take a look on us here.

We're Using

Programming languages

We're mainly work just with C#; other .NET languages are used much rarely. Certainly this doesn't imply we avoid such languages as JavaScript – all depends on the case.

Programming platforms

.NET Framework 2.0\3.5 is our primary platform, and we know it extremelly well. Although we have certain level of experience with many other technologies for Windows, such as DirectX and Windows API. Cross-platform technologies we were working with include Java and Mono.

Everything else

Here are some other technologies we have experience with (picked almost at random): Full-text indexing and search, Applied cryptography, Domain-specific language compilers, Windows Scripting Host, Distributed computing, Parallel FX.

Database platforms

Until now we were primarily focused on Microsoft SQL Server platform – we think we know it very well, including lots of surrounding technologies, such as Microsoft Reporting Services. We have developed DataObjects.Net – cross-database object relational mapping tool (ORM) supporting such databases as Oracle, MaxDB\SAP DB and Firebird. So we know many of the most well known database platforms well.

This year we're going to add one more database to this list – the one that will be integrated into DataObjects.Net 4.0. You can read more about its features in our news blog.
