For database systems designed to be run at a single office location our preferred development platform is the Microsoft® .NET framework coupled with Microsoft SQL Server. This provides a robust multi-user database system with powerful reporting and integration options.

In 2008 both Luke and Humphrey successfully completed a Microsoft .NET Framework exam to become Microsoft Certified Professionals.

About Django®

Powered by Django.

Django is a high-level Python Web framework that encourages rapid development and clean, pragmatic design.

Developed four years ago by a fast-moving online-news operation, Django was designed to handle two challenges: the intensive deadlines of a newsroom and the stringent requirements of the experienced Web developers who wrote it. It lets you build high-performing, elegant Web applications quickly.
