VB6/ASP/SQL Programmer/Software Analyst
Our flagship product, elligence, was developed using SQL Server 2000, VB6 and ASP. It is an N-Tier application whose UI is presented in a customized version of IE, and is therefore architecturally similar to a .NET web application. We plan to continue adding features and maintaining existing features using VB6 and ASP, but we are developing small projects using ASP.NET and C# as well, and expect to use .NET more and more.
Have you always been one of the top two or three members of your development team (or in your programming classes)? Do you ever wake up in the morning with new code in your mind -- maybe a new feature, maybe a fix to that bug that kept you up the night before? Do you REALLY LOVE the art of developing software? If so, our team is the right place for you!
Team members at Data Strategies tend to be both casual and very professional -- we can usually wear what we're most comfortable wearing, but we are all very focused on hard work and achievement.
