skill sets

Our typical clients are State or Municipal Governments, Non-Profits, and Fortune 5000 corporations wishing to reduce the workload of their over-burdened IT staff or outsource projects which are outside the skill sets of their own IT staff. Typical budgets for projects are over $5000.00.



Skill Sets

ASP.NET 2.0 - 3.5 Our specialty!


C# The server-side language of choice.


SAAS (Software As A Service) We believe SAAS is the wave of the future. More and more software applications will be delivered via the web. We have ten years experience developing world-class SAAS applications.


C++ Yes, we can code your C++ apps. Or we can convert your C++ code to C#.


VB.Net If you prefer VB.net, we can certainly code in that language, but we think C# or Java is better. We have done tons of VB.net to C# conversions.


AJAX Asynchronous Javascript and XML is more than just the latest acronym. It is behind the Web 2.0 revolution. We have been developing AJAX application since 2005 (before the term was coined)!


Javascript This is the Web 2.0 language. Modern interfaces start here and we are experts!


Javascript Frameworks We have extensive experience with Javascript Ajax frameworks such as EXTjs, prototype, and scriptaculous.


Tableless CSS But, of course. We can float divs with the best. If you prefer tables, we can do that too.


DOM Using client side code to manipulate the Document Object Model is something we have done many times.


XHTML This means you get clean, well-organized code that meets all validation requirements for modern browsers. Means faster-loading pages, too.


XML Extensible Markup Language is one of our strongest areas. Often, XML can be used in place of a heavy SQL database.


PHP Personal Home Page... millions of sites use it as their platform, and we can do PHP if that is what you prefer.


Perl We have used PERL many times to create spiders or bots which crawl the internet gathering data and storing to a database.


Java Java and C# are our favorite OOLs.


Java Server Pages (JSP) We use Tomcat to host the JSP pages.


SQL Server 2000, 2005, 2008 Our database server of choice.


MySQL Those of you who love this open-source database can rest assured we can accomodate you here.


API Development and Integration Of course we can develop your web services for you.


Service Oriented Architecture Using web services to connect widely-distributed applications within the Enterprise is another of our specialties.

ASP.NET 3.5

With the introduction of ASP.NET 3.5, Microsoft introduces the next generation of the most popular framework on the internet. Knowa.com has been developing our 3.5 skills as fast as Microsoft has been introducing new features.

What about JAVA?

We are just as happy delivering enterprise-class web applications on the JSP platform as we are the ASP platform. A Java Server is more complicated to manage than an ASP.NET server, but we have much experience doing it.

And PHP?

Yes. We do PHP as well, and have developed hundreds of sites using this simple framework. If you plan to have an enterprise-class web-based application, however, we highly recommend either ASP.NET or JSP.
