Chaqar Consulting, LLC is a software development and consulting shop near Dayton, OH. Chaqar is a Hebrew word meaning "to seek out", and we make it our primary goal to seek out new technologies and watch trends in the software industry. This enables us to develop or recommend the best technologies and software in a rapidly changing marketplace.

We use many different tools and software. We certainly like open source software, but we also realize that isn't the right approach in many situations. Our wide experience ensures that our clients will get the right technology for their application, instead of being pushed into a certain one because it's all we know.

In the rapidly changing world of Web 2.0, many businesses are unsure how they are supposed to interact with this new world of social networks, web applications, software-as-a-service, and other "buzzwords". Chaqar helps a business evaluate its needs and sort through the buzzwords to find software and services that will help the business take advantage of the good parts of Web 2.0.

We are very much a software development shop. We specialize in web applications and tying together legacy applications. Chaqar is committed to software development best practices, including version control, unit testing, use of design patterns such as mvc, and taking advantage of free and commercial frameworks such as Django and .Net.
