The many different technologies employed in our developments

ASP.Classic

Colink Technology has developed several large and small web based systems using ASP Classic and VBScript.

 The largest system developed by us was the Bedfordshire NHS/PCT Resources Service system. This system catalogued hundreds of items that the PCT supplied, e.g. leaflets and posters, or loaned, e.g. books, videos, laptops, to associated offices withing Bedfordshire. Clients can register and select from the online catalogue the items required. Booking periods and delivery times are calculated depending upon where the client is located. Picking lists created and orders deaptched in a timely manner. The system interfaced with several libraries including imaging, PDF creation and email. Microsoft SQL Server is the backend database.

ASP.NET

Microsofts popular successor to ASP Classic. ASP.NET bridges the gap between desktop systems and web based systems. Many new controls are pre-programmed to make development quick and secure. ASP.NET can be developed using a variety of languages. Colink Technology uses Visual Basic and C#. A complete photographic society's web based system running against a Microsoft SQL Server database.

PHP

PHP is a fast and versatile. It is the language choice for most Apache based web servers but also runs alongside ASP.NET and ASP Classic. Colink Technology has developed several systems using PHP including a client test registration system, linking to a Dutch reservation system, for Waste Management testing.
