Hello,<br />
<br />
I work in a small IT department. &nbsp;We have 5 people on our team. &nbsp;We have an Oracle database. &nbsp;We have been developing our web applications in Classic ASP forever (using Dreamweaver). Our company browser is IE10 and Firefox. &nbsp;We are looking to move forward to a new API (ASP.NET, JAVA, RUBY, PHP, PYTHON, etc.). &nbsp;We need something that is quick,agile, and preferably free. <br />
<br />
What questions should we be asking our selves when looking for a new API and IDE &nbsp;to work with and move ahead in the future?<br />
<br />
Thanks for your input.

Hello,

I work in a small IT department.  We have 5 people on our team.  We have an Oracle database.  We have been developing our web applications in Classic ASP forever (using Dreamweaver). Our company browser is IE10 and Firefox.  We are looking to move forward to a new API (ASP.NET, JAVA, RUBY, PHP, PYTHON, etc.).  We need something that is quick,agile, and preferably free. 

What questions should we be asking our selves when looking for a new API and IDE  to work with and move ahead in the future?

Thanks for your input.

What questions to ask when looking for a new API to work with?

A programming language is a formal constructed language designed to communicate instructions to a machine, particularly a computer. Thousands of different programming languages have been created, mainly in the computer field, and many more still are being created every year. The description of a programming language is usually split into the two components of syntax (form) and semantics (meaning). Some languages are defined by a specification document (for example, the C programming language is specified by an ISO Standard), while other languages (such as Perl) have a dominant implementation that is treated as a reference. Some languages have both, with the basic language defined by a standard and extensions taken from the dominant implementation being common.

Kernel and system programming is the process of creating the software necessary for a computer or device to function and operate other programs. Some operating systems (such as Microsoft Windows) are proprietary, but others, such as the various Linux distributions, are open source.
