Internet and Intranet Web Development
Stromboli design and build successful, dymanic web sites. All the web sites we build are powered by Stromboli's database backed Community and Content Management System, allowing non-technical staff to edit and update text, pictures and other content. These are just a few examples of our work:www.4Children-ComeandPlay.org.uk| www.makespace.org.uk| www.nationalsurestartmonth.com

Technology
Stromboli’s community and content management system is built entirely in Microsoft ASP.Net and SQL Server 200 using VisualBasic.Net and the .Net Framework. This provides a scalable, secure and reliable foundation and facilitates rapid and efficient development and customisation.

.Net Framework
The .NET Framework enables your developers to create great Web applications with the help of ASP.NET and other technologies. It also helps them build the same type of applications they design and develop today. The .NET Framework is language-neutral; virtually any programming language can target it. Developers can build .NET-based applications and services in a number of languages, including Visual C++, Visual Basic .NET, JScript, and Visual C#. Integrated into the Windows Server 2003 family, the .NET Framework is the infrastructure for .NET. The .NET Framework incorporates the common language runtime and a unified set of class libraries that include Windows Forms, ADO.NET, ASP.NET, and other capabilities. The .NET Framework provides a fully managed, protected, and feature-rich application execution environment, simplified development and deployment, and seamless integration with a wide variety of programming languages. Note: This feature is not available in 64-bit versions of the Windows Server 2003 family.
