| Technology Architecture |
|
|
| This application has been programmed in web architecture using ASP.Net 2.0 (with C#.Net or VB.Net as language) and MS SQL Server 2005 as RDBMS. Application architecture has been centralized for easy manageability. Application has been optimized for Internet Explorer 6+ but HTML 4 compliance has been preserved to ensure cross browser compatibility with other common browsers like Firefox and Netscape Navigator. SSL Certificate was implemented to keep credit card info secure. |
|
| The .NET Framework 2.0 is Microsoft's managed code programming model and runtime for building applications on the Windows platform. Visual Studio was the professional development environment for building these applications. Together, Visual Studio 2005 and the .NET Framework 2.0 were designed to improve developer productivity and increase application reliability and security by providing a fully managed application environment. Cross browser compatibility was largely ensured through use of XHTML 1.0 and HTML 4 compliance. All application testing was done in Firefox which was a more restrictive implementation of HTML / JavaScript and this ensures that it runs well in IE browsers too. Any cross browser issues was debugged if they arise during module testing. Optimistic locking was used in database operations to improve concurrent user performance. Extensive use of stored procedures was ease network traffic and database performance. |
