Corporate developers, solution providers and other Web application programmers may now develop on UNIX with what has become the most widely used Web application environment for Windows NT. The Developer Edition offers an ideal environment for creating powerful database-driven Web applications based on Active Server Pages that run on multiple Web servers and operating systems.

Chili!Soft ASP extends to UNIX developers the leading platform for developing powerful Web applications on Windows NT, Active Server Pages. ASP's popularity has grown because of its unbeatable combination of ease-of-use and robustness in developing database-driven Web applications. ASP has been proven in some of the world's most prominent organizations including the Boeing Company, Nasdaq, and Costco. Extending ASP support to UNIX adds even further strength by combining the programming advantages of ASP with the speed, reliability and scalability of UNIX servers.

Initially developed by Microsoft, ASP has traditionally been deployable only on Microsoft's Internet Information Server running on Windows NT. Chili!Soft has re-engineered ASP enabling Chili!Soft ASP to run on a variety of Web servers from Netscape, Apache and Lotus and operating systems including Windows NT, Sun Solaris, and IBM AIX.

"Chili!Soft ASP offers the UNIX market a Web development platform with the ease-of-use previously known only in the Windows world," added Williams. "It can be learned in as little as a few hours with application prototypes being built in one-third the time. Complex business logic can be added using C++, Java, or by using one of the many supporting third party tools. The result is an industrial-strength Web application that runs on such scalable and reliable operating systems as Solaris and AIX."
