Technical Details

DC Shows is written entirely in PHP and powered by a MySQL database backend. The Event Photos are generated by Mig. Site graphics and design by Aaron from ax2graphics.com.

The content manager on the old version of this site was Coranto and the old forums were by phpBB.

DC Shows is coded with XHTML 1.0 Transitional in mind; however, since this was not the case in the very beginning of coding, there are sure to be some pages of this site that do not conform to W3C standards. If you find a page with non-conforming code, please let us know.

Software version: 2.0
