 Posted: Sun Jan 15, 2006 10:18 am Post subject: Software Design Proposal |
 |
Question: Hi
I am writing a design proposal for a software that could be used for a charity organization. The software keeps track of all the potential donors for the charity. In addition, the software sets up daily workloads. That is the overall function of the software in a nutshell. However, I was recommended to use several technologies that may be included in my proposal in order to develop the software, listed below
Recommended Server platforms:
• Windows Server 2000, Windows Server 2003, and the corresponding versions of IIS.
• Web Servers running the Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1
Recommended Database technology and platforms:
• ADO.NET
• Microsoft Access
• SQL Server 2000
Recommended Development Tools: • Web Matrix
• Visual Studio .NET
Recommended Client Application designs: • PC application
• WebForms application (ASP.NET)
• Mobile device client (WAP or Mobile Explorer, emulators accepted)
• WinForms application
Recommended platform for running UI Client(s): • Windows XP (all versions)
• Pocket PC 2003
• Windows CE.NET
I know that I will be needing Windows XP (UI Client), Windows Server 2003 (Server Platform), visual studio.net, SQL server 2000 in order to develop the software. I only have a rough idea of the listed technologies and I was hoping that you could explain to me in more detail. In addition, is there any other technologies that I will be needing? Where would be a good website to find their prices?
Thank you

Answer: There are several approaches you could take. The recomendations above put you in the microsoft rapid development path. I am not really a full time developer myself but it seems very easy to develop on Windows. Other developers seem to agree. The trade off is that the performance is terrible. I have done some hosting and when and app is ported from Windows to Linux and Apache it is always considerably faster. The real question is how many people will use it. If 12 or so employees are using it to lookup information then stick with Windows. If it will be more like a retail site with 100s of people a day then develop the site in PHP with MySQL instead of VB and .net. This is just my hunble opinion. Web development is a side skill of mine. My core is networking. I would be more likely to build the web server and load it then design the site. You might want to talk to other experts here that do more development work. |
