The Company

"Your browser understands the APPLET> tag but isn't running the applet, for some reason."

Declarativa's primary mission is to provide advanced consultancy and custom software development services, focusing on the internet as the development and deployment platform. As a project side effect Declarativa also develops reusable tools.

Capital

Limited partnership created on May 30, 2000; capital 5 000 euros, partners Miguel Calejo and Gabriela Seruca Calejo.

Declarativa complements Servisoft, a portuguese Macintosh product distributor founded in 1990 and owned by the same partners; the partners also have a minority investment in BookMARC, another startup company created on June 8, 2000 that develops and sells Sirius, a web-based library management system.

Staff

The Declarativa staff has ample development experience that modestly would require a dedicated backbone-hosted web site by itself, all the way from AND/OR wiring switches to TI-59 mnemonics to UCSD Pascal to HyperCard to NeXTStep to natural language - based web database application generators; fashionable items worth mentioning today include various SQL dialects, Java, XSB and other Prologs and JavaScript (mostly in the server). Like many, we've been daily using AJAX inside our WAM since 2000, just didn't know it.

Other than working their derrieres to improve this page, or just boosting their own egos as right now, staff members are believed to hold the record for The Matrix viewings by the same person, appreciate the illuminated nerd de-constructions by Mr. Stephenson, regularly have to wear several of the hats pictured by Mr. Adams, and are mostly reasonable individuals balancing meme and gene diffusion efforts. Breaking news : felt much better after reading the nerd-glorifying Hackers and Painters.; prospective customers please read it too!

Declarativa uses Servisoft's administrative support and facilities.
