Development Tools
Ascending Integration focuses on using Microsoft's latest software development tools. These tools allow us to create the most robust,
high quality applications in the most efficient manner. These tools include:
-
Visual Studio .Net 2005
The majority of our work is done in this highly advanced programming tool.
Since its release in 2002, Microsoft's .Net Framework has quickly become the gold standard in the software
development world. Its v2.0(also called .Net 2005), released in late 2005, has maintained this reputation
and continued to fulfill its mission to transform software development. According to a study conducted by Lionbridge Technologies
in May of 2006, ASP.NET 2.0 allows web developers to accomplish tasks upwards of
113% faster than traditional ASP. The programming language of choice,
for Ascending Integration, within the .Net Framework is C#.
