Created a series of ASP.NET 4.0 websites, including a jQueryMobile demo project, to help OCCH access and manage Chaplain programs and personnel.  Initially using SPD (SharePoint Designer) 2007 within MOSS (Microsoft Office SharePoint Services) 2007, we switched to VS2010 (Visual Studio 2010) and moved the projects out of SharePoint itself but remained on the SQL 2008 database server(s) and IIS web server(s).  CMRP allows planning of chaplain programs by FY, including funding; CHAPS allows quick CRUD [Create/Read/Update/Delete] operations on individual assignment preference records; the HR website allows individual chaplains and Army personnel managers access to TOPMIS and CHAPS information, including personnel info and RFOs, and I did a simple two page demo project using HR data to showcase jQueryMobile within the ASP.NET 4.0 environment used by the VS2010 IDE..
