Development Technologies

Web Development is a gumbo...

In order to build powerful web applications, you need to have professional experience working with a number of technologies. Web development is a gumbo with ingredients that contain a number of important technologies. Each technology has a specific purpose and communicates and works with all other technologies incorporated in your web application.

Our consultants specialize in using the following technologies to build web applications. This is a brief Technology Use Framework. The overview to each technology and what we typically will use it for.

Technology	Use
.NET Framework	The .NET framework is a powerful programming framework that allows you to build enterprise level applications that run on servers and interface with web, desktop and mobile device applications.
C#	C# (c-sharp) is a programming language that we prefer to use to code .NET applications. You can use several coding languages with .NET, but C# is the most popular choice for .NET applications.
ASP.NET	ASP.NET is the part of the .NET framework that is used to build web applications. ASP.NET interacts directly with the web server and typically executes on each page request. This part of .NET allows us to make your website very powerful.
JavaScript	JavaScript is a language that runs on the client and is interpreted by the web browser. With JavaScript, we can control all aspects of a single web page as well as handle all user interactivity with that web page.
XML	XML or Extensible Markup language is the data glue of the Internet. We use XML frequently to pass data between applications and technologies, control application configuration and for loading and saving application data.
AJAX	AJAX stands for Asynchronous JavaScript and XML. It is a technology that allows us to use JavaScript to make server side data requests. In short, it makes all web applications extremely usable, fast, and efficient Flash because we are able to send and receive data in small bits per each user request.
Flash, ActionScript 3.0	Flash is our go to technology for highly interactive web applications. If your application requires video, advanced animations, instructional content or you really want to impress your customers, we will recommend that we use Flash. We love working with Flash and ActionScript and have enjoyed watching this technology become more robust over the years.
HTML and CSS	HTML and CSS are used together to style and display your data to users in web browsers. You cannot have a website without incorporating these technologies to some extent. In addition to formatting your content the most efficient way possible using these technologies we can train your staff to use them to create and style new content.
ColdFusion	ColdFusion is another server side framework that we love to use to build web applications. It essentially can do the same things as ASP.NET, but it tends to be a bit easier to use. Its selection will depend upon the client's current infrastructure.
Google API	Google API allows us to put Google's technology to work on your web application. Our solutions plug directly into Analytics, AdWords, and Google Maps. This gives us the tools we need to provide your website with advanced reporting and mapping functionality.
