C++

This language is used for low level programming of computers that require very fast operation and a high degree of control. Primarily used to control the most minute details of computer processing, such as the drawing of a screen on a monitor, it is difficult to write and maintain. This is usually used by businesses who develop hardward based products such as controller boards and cell phones.

COBOL

Standing for COmmon Business Oriented Language, while bery popular in the 80's, Cobol is used, primarily, by very large organizations that run their operations on mainframe computers. It is a very verbose language that reads like english and is very fast in operation. While some PC software is still written in COBOL, it is primarily used for large processing tasks that require the computing power of a mainframe computer.

Flash

Flash is used on PC's for graphical display of information and animation. Also used, many times, for the streaming of video on web sites, this language is written in a graphical environment and is very easy to learn. Its main drawbacks are that it can be slow to load over the Internet as well as some browsers, primarily on cell phones, do not support it. If the cellphone population is your audience, this is not for you.

HTML

Standing for Hyper Text Mark-up Language, HTML is the basis for all web pages. It is very powerful in its core, but limited in its ability to access databases. This task is usually relegated to PHP which is a superset of the HTML language.

Fortran

Standing for FORmula TRANslation, Fortran is the favorite language for scientists and people who do statistical analysis of larges amounts of data. It is a very exacting langauage that can be difficult to write and maintain.

PHP

PHP is one of the primary languages currently used in data driven web sites on the Internet. It is very free-form in its nature and is very flexible in design to allow almost anything to be accomplished. Usually paired with MySQL, it is a community based language (Free) and is widely supported by the Internet community. Most of the sites we develop are in PHP for these reasons.
