FactStat

FactStat was developed as an example website by Randall Conner to be linked to from his resume. Various technologeis were used to build this site. The data from the US government agencies were downloaded from the senate.gov and CDC sites. The following lists the technologies used.

Bootstrap

Bootstrap is a free and open-source front-end framework for designing websites and web applications. It contains HTML-based and CSS-based design templates for typography, forms, buttons, navigation and other interface components, as well as optional JavaScript extensions. Unlike many web frameworks, it concerns itself with front-end development only.

jQuery

jQuery is a fast, small, and feature-rich JavaScript library. It makes things like HTML document traversal and manipulation, event handling, animation, and Ajax much simpler with an easy-to-use API that works across a multitude of browsers. With a combination of versatility and extensibility, jQuery has changed the way that millions of people write JavaScript.

ASP.NET MVC

The ASP.NET MVC is a web application framework developed by Microsoft, which implements the model–view–controller pattern. It is open-source software, apart from the ASP.NET Web Forms component which is proprietary.

Razor HTML

Razor is an ASP.NET programming syntax used to create dynamic web pages with the C# or Visual Basic.NET programming languages.

jVectorMap

jVectorMap is a vector-based, cross-browser and cross-platform component for interactive geography-related data visualization on the web. It provides numerious features like smooth zooming and panning, fully-customizable styling, markers, labels and tooltips.

Chart.js

Chart.js is a JavaScript library that allows you to draw different types of charts by using the HTML5 canvas element. Since it uses canvas, you have to include a polyfill to support older browsers. The one suggested by the author is ExplorerCanvas, so you may want to stick with it.

Microsoft SQL Server

Microsoft SQL Server is a relational database management system developed by Microsoft. As a database server, it is a software product with the primary function of storing and retrieving data as requested by other software applications—which may run either on the same computer or on another computer across a network.
