version of these systems used VB6, C++, PowerBuilder, and ColdFusion.
Designed and developed one of the first customizable legislative websites in the country.
The system initially allowed users to create their own bill tracking lists. Since then the
system has expanded to include lists of Rules, Statutes, Committees, and various email
notifications to help make life easier for legislators, lobbyists, and the public.

tables, fields, indexes, and foreign keys and generates all the .NET code and SQL Stored
Procedures necessary for the data access layer.
