What has changed

Programming language: from VBScript to Java

Use an alternative web server

Improve Security for Administrator’s web pages

Emphasize rigorous documentation

More frequent communication

VBScript vs. JavaVBScript is the programming language used in Active Server Pages

Java is the programming language used in Java Server Pages

Only a limited number of IT workers know VBScript, yet most know Java

Java is object oriented which means that programmers can create software that is easier to maintain.

Alternative Server

Since there is an ongoing war between Microsoft and Sun Microsystems, Java cannot be compiled on IIS.

Alternative Servers include:

1 Tomcat

2 Jrun

3 ServletExec

An alternative web server is crucial in the switch from VBScript to Java

Improved Security

A key focus in the future will be on improving security on the site.

The admin pages will start using SSL.

Also the encryption of user name and password before they are sent over the net.
