When developing application software for deployment in an environment supported by OIT, the tools listed on this page should be considered as the preferred development tools. There are, of course, instances where tools not listed here should be used. In these cases you should notify your supervisor or the OIT director responsible for the development effort before beginning work.
Except to maintain compatibility with legacy applications, all new applications developed should be Web-based.
