The following is a list of description and definition of the technology we use:

• Microsoft Active Server Pages (ASP)
• JavaScript
• HyperText Markup Language (HTML)
• Cascadin Style Sheets (CSS)
• Structured Query Language (SQL)
• XML (Extensible Markup Language)
• AJAX
• SOAP, XML

Microsoft Active Server Pages (ASP) is a server-side scripting environment that you can use to create and run dynamic, interactive Web server applications. With ASP, you can combine HTML pages, script commands, and COM components to create interactive Web pages or powerful Web-based applications.

JavaScript is a simple scripting language for Web pages that allows such interactive features as input checking, personalization, current date and time, navigation menus, swaping images on the client side and other special effects on Web pages.

HyperText Markup Language (HTML) is a simple markup system used to create hypertext documents that are portable from one platform to another. HTML documents are SGML documents with generic semantics that are appropriate for representing information from a wide range of applications. HTML markup can represent hypertext news, mail, documentation, and hypermedia; menus of options; database query results; simple structured documents with in-lined graphics; and hypertext views of existing bodies of information.

Cascadin Style Sheets (CSS) is designed to control how HTML documents are displayed in the browser. CSS is used with HTML to achieve the an easy and fast way to change and manipulate HTML properties on future updates giving a superior level of control over the look and feel of the web site.

Structured Query Language (SQL) is used to communicate with a database. It is the standard language for relational database management systems. SQL statements are used to perform tasks such as update data or retrieve data. Some of the relational database management systems that we use with SQL are: Microsoft SQL Server, Access, Oracle.

XML (Extensible Markup Language) is a standard data format used for text files and information in computer memory that allows easy data processing and exchange between different web applications.

The web site will be built in a way to be able to use of all technologies mention above in the future in case needed.

The ones we will be using for this project are :

• Microsoft Active Server Pages (ASP)
• JavaScript
• HyperText Markup Language (HTML)
• Cascadin Style Sheets (CSS)
