KJR has now recreated, and therefore can host two Jazz Web Forms, minor applications controls, a Calendar and client computer time clock, a number of Jazz Web Services, plus one application produced in XML format - the JazzWebService one is based on the KJR LPs jazz collection data held as in a SQL Server 2000 database.
This country’s jazz community has, after a slow start, advanced well in serving their own websites to good success.
However, for any jazz artist taking advantage of this type of web service project, undoubtedly will find it a completely different ball game, where in the initial stages will rest with those who are also keen IT practitioners best able to take advantage of this next generation internet web technology.
Sadly, process for jazz artists to reach any standard of proficiency and interest to achieve any quantifiable end game aim without Arts Council input - currently, would appear to be a startling reality.
The Kings Jazz Review (KJR) Web Service is based on five descriptive tables, all of separate HTML website pages taken from its substantial jazz LPs collection.
The server on which the Web Service is being hosted is named Kings-Ian, and, whenever currently it is online, (not yet 24 hours daily) selected clients using their Internet Explorer browser in particular, can now access it to good effect.
I believe this to be a worthwhile advancement over the XML format using the SQL Server 2000 database above noted, and therefore in my view, it is a major step forward for Microsoft.
