Happy Birthday Sonicsoft!

My own company celebrates its 8th year of existence today, October 23, 2007


Sonicsoft Turns Eight!

Sonicsoft was founded October 23, 1999 when I started creating programs for my computer. My first programs were created in Microsoft QBasic, and was fairly simple. It doesn't sport any slick interface, as the only available interface to me was DOS. Now, Sonicsoft has expanded not only covering software, but also media such as short movies, websites, book reviews, and hardware. It's amazing how time changes everything.

I remember back in the days when my poor old computer was running Windows 3.11 and DOS. It was during that time that I tried to 'improve' my computer (since Windows 98 was already available at that time), and Sonicsoft was created.

Early Sonicsoft programs included an automatic checking of disk errors when Windows didn't shutdown properly. That feature was not available with Windows 3.11, and it seems a pretty good idea, so I created one. It ran ScanDisk whenever it detected that Windows was not exitted properly (with Windows 3.11, you don't shut-down, you exit to DOS).

Sonicsoft also created games in that era, ranging from the gamut of card games (Klondike solitaire, black jacks) to simulation (dice throwing, ball bouncing). Tic Tac Toe and Cheat were also developed.

In an attempt to run these application, Sonicsoft Vision was created, but was never finished. It was supposed to be the central starting point of all Sonicsoft programs - providing all the libraries and certain functionalities available to running programs.

Then, Sonicsoft went Windows, employing Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0. Programs created in this era now have user-friendly interface and runs on Windows. The range of Sonicsoft products broadened, now involving word processors and more games.

Sonicsoft then entered the business of systems development. It now produce entire database management systems for corporations. From Employee management system, to scheduling systems, Sonicsoft created programs that uses the power of databases.

Sonicsoft spanned the Microsoft Office suite itself, using Visual Basic for Applications.

Sonicsoft went online last year, creating online applications and websites for third party companies.

Now, as Sonicsoft turns 8, we are striving to create more software that follows the company's standard - to be user-friendly and effective at the same time. Web applications and systems are being entered into the market, to make a dent in the software business industry.

Happy birthday, Sonicsoft!
