Most of my time has been spent on Internet development using Active Server Pages in IIS 5.0 and running on Win2K servers. The Internet projects have primarily been using SQL Server 7.0 as the backend database. The Delphi projects have primarily used SQL Server 7.0 and 6.5, though there have been some Interbase and Access projects. Almost all database communications were done using ADO components and SQL stored procedures. Though the owner favors Delphi for most Windows development, from time to time the need to code in Visual Basic has given me some exposure to the VB 6 programming environment.
Programs are for both internal organization usage as well as clients in the field.
Much of this development involves porting legacy applications written in SpeedWare on an HP3000. These ported applications originally began with Interbase as the underlying database engine. However, we later chose to use a BDE replacement. First, we tried FlashFiler with a Win98 database server, but eventually settled on the Advantage database running a NLM on the Novell server. I use Front Page 2000 to create and maintain corporate intranet sites.
