Calyx and Visual Studio .net

Calyx has chosen Microsoft’s Visual Studio .net as our software development platform. Why? Because it is the single comprehensive development tool for creating the next generation of applications Our software developers and designers use Visual Studio .NET to:

Build the next-generation Internet.
Create powerful applications fast and effectively.
Span any platform or device.

Visual Studio .NET is the only development environment built from the ground up for XML Web services. By allowing applications to share data over the Internet, XML Web services enable developers to assemble applications from new and existing code, regardless of platform, programming language, or object model.
