			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We&#8217;re a team of developers that care about the tools that we use. People often ask us what our development environments look like. You asked, we answered:</p>
<p>When we&#8217;re ready to get paid, we use freshbooks.<br />
<a href="http://freshbooks.com"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-273" title="picture-2" src="http://blackninjasoftware.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/picture-2.png" alt="" width="62" height="28" /></a></p>
<p>We use Google Apps for business for email, information sharing and security.<br />
<a href="http://www.google.com/apps/intl/en/business/index.html"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-275" title="picture-4" src="http://blackninjasoftware.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/picture-4.png" alt="" width="74" height="28" /></a></p>
<p>Blogging is important to us, so we use wordpress.<br />
<a href="http://wordpress.com"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-276" title="picture-5" src="http://blackninjasoftware.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/picture-5.png" alt="" width="130" height="28" /></a></p>
<p>We update often. Twitter helps us in that department.<br />
<a href="http://twitter.com"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-277" title="picture-6" src="http://blackninjasoftware.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/picture-6.png" alt="" width="93" height="28" /></a></p>
<p>Google Analytics helps us check up on how we&#8217;re doing.<br />
<a href="http://www.google.com/analytics/"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-278" title="picture-7" src="http://blackninjasoftware.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/picture-7.png" alt="" width="126" height="28" /></a></p>
<p>Our business would never get out there without a domain.<br />
<a href="http://easydns.com"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-280" title="picture-9" src="http://blackninjasoftware.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/picture-9.png" alt="" width="84" height="28" /><br />
</a></p>
<p>To help us keep in touch with one another, we yammer what we&#8217;re currently working on.<br />
<span style="color: #0000ee;"><a href="http://www.yammer.com"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-289" title="picture-10-11" src="http://blackninjasoftware.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/picture-10-11.png" alt="" width="28" height="28" /></a></span></p>
<p>We use telerik web controls for all our ASP.NET development to make our pages look pretty.<br />
<a href="http://telerik.com"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-296" title="telerik-logo" src="http://blackninjasoftware.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/telerik-logo.jpg" alt="" width="94" height="28" /></a></p>
<p>Git version control keeps our code safe.<br />
<a href="http://git-scm.com/about"><img src="http://blackninjasoftware.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/header-300x40.gif" alt="header" title="header" width="300" height="40" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-802" /></a></p>
<p>We&#8217;re so busy working on everyone else&#8217;s infrastructure, we don&#8217;t have time to manage our own, so Rackspace takes care of that for us.<br />
<a href="http://rackspace.com"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-303" title="picture-171" src="http://blackninjasoftware.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/picture-171.png" alt="" width="80" height="28" /></a></p>
<p>Redgate makes it possible to tune our code so we produce the best performing pages possible.<br />
<a href="http://red-gate.com"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-302" title="picture-141" src="http://blackninjasoftware.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/picture-141.png" alt="" width="89" height="28" /></a></p>
<p>For all our UI mockup and design, we absolutely love using Balsamiq Mockups For Desktop!<br />
<a href="http://www.balsamiq.com/"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-633" title="picture-1" src="http://blackninjasoftware.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/picture-1.png" alt="" width="105" height="30" /></a></p>
<p>Pivotal Tracker helps us keep organized and manages our morning scrums!<br />
<a href="http://www.pivotaltracker.com/"><img src="http://blackninjasoftware.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/pivotal_tracker-300x22.png" alt="pivotal_tracker" title="pivotal_tracker" width="300" height="22" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-803" /></a></p>
<p>And last but not least, we&#8217;d be lost without our MacBook&#8217;s, iMac&#8217;s, iPhones and Apple TV!<br />
<span style="color: #0000ee;"><span style="color: #000000;"><a href="http://www.apple.com/startpage/"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-282" title="picture-11" src="http://blackninjasoftware.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/picture-11.png" alt="" width="27" height="28" /></a></span></span></p>
