Software development with passion. Software development is a skill. As with all skills, it requires professionalism to deliver quality. That is my passion. Fortunately this view seems to gain popularity; the software industry appears less and less a matter of 'write once, sell endlessly' but instead with more agility and transparency to customers. Much good 'general' software is freely available as open source. Money is made with customizations and support instead of licencing. Besides costsavings, this results in high quality. This is good for the software business in general. Profits should be made from skill and honest work. This is why Talsma ICT supports Open Standards and Open Source Software.
