Technology
We have extensive experience in a variety of languages, platforms and
technologies.
Web technologies
We have delivered numerous web-based projects, with demanding time-scales and
extremely competitive pricing, relying on core skills in the following areas:
| XML |
We have wide experience of using XML, with a variety of different parsers,
including Microsoft MSXML, Apache Xerces and Expat. We use both DOM and SAX
models. |
| XSLT |
Planatech has used XSLT for a number of different purposes, in a variety of
large and small-scale applications, using MSXML, Apache Xalan, Xt and Saxon.
(This site is largely generated using XSLT.) |
| IIS, ASP |
We have delivered successful web-sites, on the internet and in corporate
intranets, based on the Microsoft server platform. We make extensive use of
tailored ActiveX components. |
| Javascript |
We deliver industrial-strength browser-side code compatible with Netscape 4+
and Internet Explorer 4+. We have in-depth knowledge of JavaScript internals,
and have delivered tailored JavaScript engine implementations for
high-performance code generators. |
| .NET |
We have used .NET technologies for our flagship product XLL+. We have been
successful at integrating tools within Visual Studio .NET, using C#, VB.NET and
managed C++. |
COM & ActiveX
Planatech has now developed dozens of different COM components, using ATL 3,
Visual Basic and MFC as required. We have built components that range from
simple in-process tools to large scaleable servers that provide network support
for entire trading systems.

Our expertise is based upon programming languages and the interfaces between
them. We have a high level of expertise in the implementation and grammar of
many languages and programming paradigms. Among them:
