This Web Site was built on a Windows NT Server using Visual Studio. A back end database provides the information power, and server side scripts written in the VBScript language and Structured Query Language provide the data connection, display, and manipulation. The relational database was designed with performance as a primary consideration, and is scalable beyond 4,000 concurrent connected users. Client side scripts are written in JavaScript, and the Java programming language provides the cool real time stock ticker applet.
Note: There is a 20 minute network latency associated with the live stock market feed.
This Site is hosted on a dual Pentium II machine with twin 400 MHz microprocessors and 512 MB RAM, running Windows NT Server. A 100 MB/s Ethernet LAN connects this server to the network router, which connects to the Internet via digital T3 bandwidth.
