Inside the backside technology:I consider myself a Microsoft programmer and have been working in various versions of Visual Basic (VB Script, VBA, VB(.NET)) for years. This site was built using old school, classic Microsoft ASP, but only because rebuilding or moving the site would have been a luxury in time I do not currently have. If I had my way I would prefer it to build in ASP.NET in C#. However, this domain is currently being served by a shared host that is paid out for another year and half and they want $199 to change the site over, so do not hold your breath for the C# version of EveryNobody.com to appear in the near future. Almost all of my current and future projects are either in C# or vb.net,thank God.
About the data storage:The table schema, stored procedures, DTS packages, and other data objects are all made from scratch in SQL Server 2000. I have worked with MySQL in the past and Oracle in the even farther past. However, the lion share of my experience is in administration and development on the SQL Server / Windows Server platform, so it was natural to do everynobody’s behind in MSSQL. I have recently fallen in love with SQL Server 2005 and scripting as many objects as possible using Visual Studio extensions. Not to mention that the new Studio Manager is kick-ass. Much more like a development environment as opposed to an administrative tool like Enterprise manager was.
gNarly markup: The site was constructed in XHTML 1.1 not for any other reason outside of experimental purposes, to be truthful. When I decided to do the front side I initially was going to do it in 1.0 transitional or even HTML 4.0. However, I decided to challenge myself and attempt to discover creative ways of presenting some content using a different approach than I might usually try to rely upon (like iframes for instance). I also tried to remove as much structural HTML visual logic as possible into a 100% CSS format, which at this moment I know is a bit of a mess. There are much more effective ways to apply CSS styling, I realize and I will try to clean it up as I time allows. I know that people that are actual web 'designers' will cringe at the superfluous code here, but it will be cleaned-up in time.
