ASP.NET 3.5
We've been developing ASP.NET websites and applications since the release of version 1.0 and we're confident that there's no better choice of development framework. We've found it to be more powerful and scalable than PHP, much quicker (and therefore cheaper) to develop with than Java and much better supported than newer languages such as Ruby.
What's more, it's free and has a large development community, which means that you're not locked in to using TVI and you'll have no trouble finding developer support if you should need it in the future.

SQL Server 2005
SQL Server 2005 is the backbone of all of our content managed and Ecommerce sites and it's where all your data (your information, articles, products, customers etc.) are stored.
SQL Server helps us to ensure that however much traffic your website or application gets, however many products you want to sell or blog posts you want to serve, your website will still benefit from the high availability and response times your customers expect.

jQuery
jQuery is the magic ingredient that gives many of our websites their interactivity. It helps us to bring down the cost and lead-time when developing AJAX enabled websites and is used by many of the world's biggest websites. It's one of the fastest growing web development technologies and we've been at the forefront of jQuery development since the start.
jQuery also allows us to add animation and interactivity to websites in a standards-compliant, search engine friendly manner without having to rely on proprietary tools like Flash.

Ext JS
Ext JS is a cross-browser JavaScript library for building rich Internet applications. It allows us to build rich web applications such as the TVI Content and Commerce platforms, which are as quick and responsive as their desktop counterparts and have the added advantage of being available from any computer through any web browser.
Using Ext JS means that we can build reliable web applications in less than half the time it would take to create them from scratch and which have a user interface that'll be familiar to anybody that has used Windows XP or Vista.
