We take time out to share our knowledge with one another and improve both our skills and our distributed development environment. We often experiment with and integrate new tools into our environment. Some of the tools and technologies we're currently using include: ReSharper, Subversion, MassTransit, Jenkins CI, TDD with NUnit, VersionOne, MediaWiki, WCF, RESTful web services, RhinoMocks, Ninject, NHibernate and jQuery.
