Chapter 2 : Survey of Technology

Front-end:- Visual Studio, [Link], C#.

Visual Studio is a powerful developer tool that you can use to complete the entire development
cycle in one place. It is a comprehensive integrated development environment (IDE) that you
can use to write, edit, debug, and build code, and then deploy your app.

[Link] is a server-side web-application framework designed for web development to produce

dynamic web pages. It was developed by Microsoft to allow programmers to build dynamic web
sites, applications and services. The name stands for Active Server Pages Network Enabled
Technologies.
C# is an object-oriented, component-oriented programming language. C# provides language
constructs to directly support these concepts, making C# a natural language in which to create
and use software components. Since its origin, C# has added features to support new workloads
and emerging software design practices.

Back-end:- SQL
Structured Query Language (SQL) is a domain-specific language used in programming and
designed for managing data held in a relational database management system (RDBMS), or for
stream processing in a relational data stream management system (RDSMS). It is particularly
useful in handling structured data, i.e., data incorporating relations among entities and
variables.

• Clauses, which are constituent components of statements and queries.

• Expressions, which can produce either scalar values, or tables consisting of columns and
rows of data
• Predicates, which specify conditions that can be evaluated to SQL three-valued logic
(3VL) (true/false/unknown) or Boolean truth values and are used to limit the effects of
statements and queries, or to change program flow.
• Queries, which retrieve the data based on specific criteria. This is an important element
of SQL.
• Statements, which may have a persistent effect on schemata and data, or may control
transactions, program flow, connections, sessions, or diagnostics.
