| P: | Arlington, TX - Apr 28 1998 Microsoft now features a web site hosted by top web hosting provider, Data Return Corporation, as part of the Microsoft Site Builder Network. This Microsoft program includes more than 700,000 registered developers, and provides developers with access to information, software, tools, and other valuable resources. Data Return is a sole-focus company specializing in hosting database-driven web sites and web applications for customers with a strategic commitment to the Internet. "With the Internet doubling in size every 100 days," David George, Internet Business Specialist at Microsoft, said, "it is imperative that web sites can be deployed rapidly. Web hosting has become central to both business and IT strategies. Data Return developed a unique service structure that enables businesses and developers to harness the full power of Microsoft web solutions, and as a result, Microsoft features a site to help employers and developers find one another with speed and reliability. Take a look at the 15 Seconds Job Classifieds site, an example of the productivity that can be gained with this technology." The Site Builder Network, part of Microsoft’s web site, features the unique Job Classified Site, built by 15 Seconds, the premier resource site on the World Wide Web for developers specializing in Active Server Pages (ASP) technology. ASP, the development environment that harnesses the promise of object-oriented coding is based on the COM (Component Object Model) and Windows Distributed Network Architecture specifications. ASP has rapidly gained acceptance as the most productive coding environment for building dynamic, database-driven web sites. "We are pleased Microsoft selected us as a featured site for the Site Builder Program," Wayne Berry, CEO of 15 Seconds said. "There are very few companies that could provide hosting for an NT/SQL Server site of this magnitude. When selecting Data Return, I knew that I was getting the best provider out there, and that the site would stay up. I would not hesitate to have them host another web site that has the traffic Microsoft can command." The 15 Seconds Job Classifieds Site is hosted by Data Return, a Microsoft Certified Solution Provider Partner with expertise in Windows NT, IIS, Active Server Pages, Front Page 98, and other web hosting technologies. Sunny C. Vanderbeck, Chairman and CEO of Data Return said, "Microsoft’s array of Internet software makes NT Web Hosting the answer, and 15 Second shortens that path for developers working with NT, IIS, SQL, and Active Server Pages. The 15 Seconds Job Classified Site is an example of cutting edge resources available to developers." In addition to demonstrating the effectiveness of ASP and other web technologies, the Site Builder Network and 15 Seconds initiated the15 Seconds Job Classifieds Site to enable employers to find quality developers who know how to use Microsoft products and technologies. It also helps developers learn about job openings at some of the top firms in the world. The 15 Seconds Job Classifieds Site allows users to post or search by geographic area, job title, or keyword. Users can narrow the search to a specific geographic region or select all regions and receive every listing. Users can find a job listing or post a job opening anywhere in the world. More than 20 of the most common Web-related job titles are available on the site, but users will only see the ones where a posting currently exists.
