For the past 12 years, BrainJocks has been providing web application development services for companies and startups around the world. During this time, we've quite often found ourselves needing a way to harness our best solutions and document our methodologies; a way to collect our intellectual properties into a single internal resource. We desperately needed a way to harvest, if you will, our code snippets.

We started to look for a solution. We found a few things that could potentially be used, but nothing tailored to meet the needs of a development team specifically. We really loved the community idea of 37 Signal’s Basecamp product, but wanted a Digg type rating system, where team members could mark favorites and provide feedback for others. The more we thought about the idea, the more we were convinced there were probably others out there just like us. So we decided to get our thoughts and ideas organized and scratch our own itch for a change.

As we got started, we became more and more convinced that by creating an environment for internal collaboration, we could really streamline a development team's process, not to mention what a fantastic tool it would be for new hires.  Even better, our senior level developers were thrilled at the idea of getting all those junior developers out of their doorway (and actually working productively!) So we did it.

That’s right, we did it! BrainJocks has just launched Snippet Garden, a new web application that provides a secure collaboration environment for software developers. Web development teams now have an affordable way to internally, and securely record, teach and reuse their code. The overall goal? To help increase productivity, promote best practices and standardize methodologies into a streamlined development process. In a nutshell, Snippet Garden’s service will provide a more efficient process, better code and an environment for companies to harvest their intellectual properties into a single, dynamic and internally secure resource.


Needless to say, we are a bit excited. We not only have a solution to meet our own needs, we think we might have produced something others might find quite useful as well.
