Software Programming and Coding Services

Sometimes when you decide to try something new, you’re stymied by the lack of options available to you. But that is rarely (if ever) the case with software development. There are a multitude of technologies available for developing software and web applications – the trick is learning how to choose among them. Let’s assume that you have already clearly defined your project specifications and you know your development priorities. With that information, you’re ready to examine the diverse platforms and technologies that can be used to meet those needs. Of course, we are happy to help you determine which technology is most appropriate for your project needs, and we invite you to contact us to discuss it in detail. This article presents a brief overview of the main technologies, so that we can have a common vocabulary for the discussion.

ASP.NET, ASP.NET 2.0, .NET

When developing web applications, server-side technologies offer many powerful advantages to developers. These server-side technologies include ASP, ASP.NET, and ASP.NET 2.0. The last technology offers many functionalities and features that together are a major improvement over Mirosoft’s last release of ASP.NET. The main advantage of ASP.NET 2.0 is that you can expect to have up to 70% less code in your final web applications, which decreases complexity and helps developers be more productive. OSD has repeatedly demonstrated its experience and expertise in creating web applications based on each of these technologies. And we have become a Microsoft Certified Partner to prove it. We’re eager to learn more about your project specifications so that we can begin using these technologies to meet your development needs.

Visual Studio 2005 for .NET 2.0

In 2005, Microsoft released Visual Studio 2005 for .NET 2.0, offering a valuable new toolkit to programmers and software developers. These tools help firms such as OSD work more quickly and more productively when creating dynamic solutions for Office, Windows, the Web, and mobile devices. It also facilitates communication among team members, which is key for offshore outsourcing. The suite is loaded with risk-mitigating quality controls that help developers find problems as early as possible. If you think that Visual Studio 2005 is the right technology platform to meet your needs, please contact us so that we can discuss it together.

PHP

PHP is a flexible, highly compatible system that can support most popular databases and all the main platforms, including mainframes, Windows, and UNIX. It was created specifically for the Web. It’s affordably priced and relatively easy to learn. It also lets an administrator easily support a website and it virtually ensures that applications will perform smoothly. Many of OSDs key projects were completed by using PHP and many of our team members are PHP specialists. Do you think PHP is the way to go for your software needs? If so, please give us a call or email us to talk about it further.

AJAX

Compared to the other technologies described on this page, AJAX is relatively new. It’s a Web-based technology that has the flexibility of using page- and screen-based approaches. Its simply implemented open standards for the Web are compatible with a wide variety of platforms and browsers, so you don’t need to worry about becoming locked into a single vendor. Yet don’t be fooled into thinking that this limits functionality. AJAX’s sophistication makes it a strong choice for developing web applications. OSD has many of the best IT professionals in the field, and they are committed to using AJAX to develop and maintain your software and web applications in accordance with widely accepted industry standards. If you think AJAX is the way to go for your project, please let us know. We would love to learn more about your project needs.

MySQL

Today many websites have to display information from databases, and MySQL is a very fast relational database management system (RDBMS) that’s quite easy to use. MySQL doesn’t have all the features that competing technologies offer, but it has the ones that are critical to meeting the needs of most database developers. One of MySQL’s comparative advantages is that installation is simple, it has better ease of use, and it is much less expensive than comparable technologies. A MySQL server is a good choice for systems that have heavy use around the clock, because it rarely needs cleanups. OSD has a solid track record of MySQL projects and would be pleased to add your company to its list of satisfied customers. Please give us more information about your project needs, so that together we can determine whether MySQL is the right technology for you.
