FAQ

What programming language or framework should I use?

Any language or framework will be acceptable provided it can communicate with SQL server for the storage and retrieval of data. Your program code should be clear enough for us to easily go in and add credentials to connect to any database we choose.

How can I submit my entry?

We will offer an official solution very soon, but for now, you can do one of the following. Create a private bitbucket repository and invite upc [] techsicollc.com to join your repository, or create a public GitHub repository and email us your link.

More FAQ coming soon, for now, please email upc [] techsicollc.com
