Omnipilot Offers Lasso Developer 8.5 For Free
FREE Download Available with Form Submission DANIA BEACH, FL - August 3, 2006 - OmniPilot Software, Inc., developers of Lasso, announces the immediate download of Lasso Developer 8.5 for FREE.
This is the first time that OmniPilot has ever released a free version of Lasso. The Developer Edition is specifically tailored to meet the needs of advanced Web developers by easily installing on any platform and by allowing development and testing on one machine, as well as remote testing from another machine.
"By offering Lasso Developer 8.5 for free, we hope to remove some of the barriers that commonly exist when trying a new middleware programming language," said, Circe. "One way to do that is by offering free developer and test server licenses, which let you build, test and try before you buy."
Packed with exciting new features found in Lasso Professional Server 8.5, Lasso Developer 8.5 now supports 5 IP addresses and 200 connections per minute, providing developers with a way to create a Lasso development environment - absolutely free.
Solutions developed will require a server running LP 8.5 for deployment. "The new Lasso Developer 8.5, can now serve as a fully functional test server before deploying on a live server," added Circe.
To receive a FREE license of Lasso Developer 8.5 log on to www.omnipilot.com/lasso to fill out the required form for the download. A pack of free Lasso solutions are also included with the free download. Lasso solutions include four well-documented solutions that enable users to add blogs, message boards, quick polls, and collaborate solutions to Web sites powered by Lasso. Lasso's free solutions have been well received by the media, and by the Mac and Lasso communities.
Another solutions pack is scheduled for release this year. Chart FX for Lasso Developer is included FREE with Lasso Developer 8.5. This combination allows developers to build and test dynamic Web applications with data visualization before investing in a server for deployment.
