Lasso Server 9.2.6 – Connect databases to the web. (Demo)

Lasso Server introduces a next-generation object-oriented Web programming language, advanced Web application server administration, with a distributed architecture, wide platform and data source support, unprecedented extensibility and customization, redesigned and rewritten documentation and over 200 new features and enhancements. Just-in-time native compilation for faster response times and a handy drop-down drawer for testing your code as you go.

Lasso integrates with the built-in Apache Web server in OS X or OS X Server. Lasso 9.2 and up run on 64-bit Intel based Macs. A new admin interface added since 9.1 allows developers, hosting providers, and enterprise administrators to manage multiple instances of Lasso instances with ease.The main interface for Lasso Instance Manager consists of a list of all known Lasso 9 instances on that machine. Below this list is a button allowing a new instance to be created.

Each instance in the list shows:

Current licensing mode, based on the instance serial number, if any (runs in Developer mode if no license applied)
Current run status: red is not running, yellow is running but with a provisional license, green is running and fully licensed
Instance version
Instance uptime
Instance status In addition, a row of buttons permit access to the following:
Instance details: instance name, description, url, home path, OS user, host pattern, disable instance, delete instance
Instance notes
Instance output log
Instance environment variables
Instance URL link

Cross-platform Deployable

Deploy on Mac or Linux servers for the ultimate in flexibility and systems integration. FastCGI support makes it easy to connect to Apache, IIS, and most other Web servers. Manage users, datasources, and email queues, adjust settings, execute SQL queries, and more. Free to develop in. Users purchase a license when going live with a website or where needing access internally across more than 5 ip’s and 200 connections.

Document Mangement

Create, modify, combine, and serve print-ready documents in PDF, Rich Text, and other formats containing complex layouts which utilize tables, forms, graphics, and bar codes.

Image Manipulation

Create, layer, rotate, scale, overlay, crop, and convert various types of images with built in image management support via the powerful ImageMagick library.

Database Connectivity

Lasso 9 Server includes native connectors for MySQL, MS SQL Server, Oracle, PostgreSQL, FileMaker, and more, and can also use standard ODBC and JDBC drivers, as well as access directory servers (LDAP and Active Directory) and other sources.

Web Services Integration

Create and/or consume Web services with built-in support for common protocols such as XML-RPC. Easily create RESTful Web services utilizing native support for traversing and manipulating JSON and XML objects. Lasso 9 Server makes working with third party API’s a breeze.

Email Services

Compose and send plain text, HTML, or multi-part emails, including attachments, directly from Lasso 9 Server. Programmatically retrieve messages from POP accounts and decode attachments.

Ultimate Multi-lingual compatibility

Lasso 9 is fully Unicode native the whole way through. Manage and publish multi-lingual documents with confidence, read and write files and work with text in any character set.

Extensibility

Extend the native capabilities of Lasso 9 Server with API’s for C and Java. Interact with other server processes at the command line level.

Date and Time Management

Convert dates between different display formats and time zones, work with durations, and schedule repeating events. Create and consume event calendars with native support for the standard iCalendar format.

Object-oriented from the ground up, Lasso 9 is a powerful fully resourced and flexible programming language that provides a full Web development platform and yet is still friendly and easy-to-use. Execute scripts embedded within Web pages or directly from the command line.
