Operating System
 

Solaris |  IRIX  |  Tru64 Unix  |  HP-UX  |  Fedora Linux  |  Windows 
 

 

Solaris

Solaris operating environment is acknowledged by industry to be the premier UNIX environment for SPARC and Intel Architecture systems. It ensures high-speed, live upgrade, automatic dynamic reconfigurations, hot relief, hot diagnostics, dynamic system domains, IP network fail over and balancing, UNIX file system logging, and remote console.

 

IRIX

IRIX is the fifth generation 64-bit UNIX operating system. It is complaint with UNIX System V Release and the Open Group's many standards including UNIX 95, Year 2000, and POSIX.

 

Tru64 Unix

Tru64 Unix is Internet ready, easy to manage, compatible with Linux and Windows, and has enterprise power with no limits. It can make most of the 64-bit Alpha architecture in the Alpha Server systems.

 

HP-UX

HP-UX is the best operating system for Internet - critical computing. Its 11i is the first operating environment built specifically for end-to-end e-services.

Programming Languages
 

Fortran 90  |  C Programming Language  |  C++ Programming Language  |  Pascal  |  Ada  |  Java  |  Visual Studio  |  Visual Age

Fortran 90

In addition to earlier versions, It supports free source form, array syntax, dynamic storage and pointers, portable data types, derived data types and operators, recursion, and Modules.

 

C Programming Language

C is often called "Middle Level" programming language. The main features are portability of the compiler, standard library concept, a powerful and varied repertoire of operators, elegant syntax, ready access to hardware when needed, and ease with which applications can be optimized by hand-coding isolated procedures.
 

C++ Programming Language

C++ provides a model of memory and computation that closely matches that of most computers. It provides powerful and flexible mechanisms for abstraction: that is, language constructs that allow the programmer to introduce and use new type of objects that match the concepts of application.

 

Pascal

Pronounced pass-kal, a high-level programming language developed by Niklaus Wirth in the late 1960s. It is named after Blaise Pascal, a Seventeenth-century French mathematician who constructed one of the first mechanical adding machines. It is best known for its affinity to structured programming techniques. The nature of the language forces programmers to design programs methodically & carefully.
 

Ada

Ada programming language is designed for last long-lived systems, ease of understating rather than conciseness, and for reliability. It is most suited for systems programming, Real-Time systems, Distributed Systems, Information Systems, Numeric Algorithms, and safety & security.
 

JAVA

Java programming language platform provides a portable, interpreted, high-performance, simple, object-oriented programming language and supporting run-time environment.
 

Visual Studio

Visual Studio provides the tools to rapidly design and build web applications, windows-based applications, and XML web service.
