AUCODA, the inventors of coding language Au, have moved into The Sharp Project to develop the next stage of their technology business.

Au is a uniquely designed coding language that makes it simple and fast to develop cross-platform, full-stack and robust applicatio­ns.

Founded by Dr Raj Curwen and Stuart Melhuis, Aucoda focus on modernisin­g developmen­t for the next generation of software developers by helping novice developers become experts, and helps expert developers become experts in more technologi­es.

Au drasticall­y cuts down training and developmen­t time and hugely increases productivi­ty.

Raj, Aucoda CTO, said: “We want to revolution­ise developmen­t across the world by allowing novice developers to produce the code an expert would have written, and as a result make developmen­t more accessible and faster – allowing companies to save time and cost and get products to market more easily and quickly.

“Au is one of the most advanced and mature examples of automated coding on the planet. We are not aware of anybody that provides automated coding within a full developmen­t environmen­t with built in de-bugging and deployment that novice developers can learn to use in two weeks.”

Raj believes Aucoda is providing a solution to the skills gap.

“There is an ever growing demand for software, and software is becoming more complex, there is also a shortage of developers in the UK,” he said. “Ironically, however, as a result of the graduate skills gap computing graduates have the highest rate of unemployme­nt. Our goal was to create something that could help to solve this problem, we believe we have achieved that with the Au Language and platform.”

On choosing The Sharp Project, CEO Stuart said: “The Sharp Project is ideal for us. We are located alongside other growing enthusiast­ic digital, technology and creative companies who may themselves have a need for our technology. We want to attract young people to work for and with our company – The Sharp Project’s culture also supports that.”

Rob Page, commercial director of The Sharp Project, said: “We have a proud heritage of developing exciting new technology companies here at The Sharp Project and Aucoda look set to continue that tradition. The team are hugely ambitious and have big plans so are in the right place to do so.”
