SEATTLE September 20, 1999 - WebGecko Software LLC, a Seattle-based
web development tools company, announced today that Active Page Generator (APGen) 1.0 is
available for purchase and download.
Active Page Generator (APGen) is a new technology that complements Microsoft's Active Server Pages and Visual Studio. APGen allows developers to use familiar tools and scripting languages to generate web content within any component or application.
APGen extends the functionality of dynamic web server technologies, such as Active ServerPages (ASP) and Java Server Pages (JSP), by generating web content outside of the web server. Benefits include improved web site performance and reduced site creation and maintenance costs.
APGen is unique, because it is the only development environment designed specifically for programmatically generating content. With its logging capabilities, Active Script debugging integration, and COM support, APGen allows a web developer to create a reliable and well-integrated system for creating web content. APGen is not a Swiss Army knife. APGen is not a site-in-a-box. APGen is a valuable and versatile development tool and in my opinion a must have for any professional web developer.

Suite of Internet Application Development Tools gets Authentication and Encryption!
Syracuse, NY - November 9, 1999 - Dart Communications, the leading provider of Internet Components for developers, has added a new Secure Tool to its family of PowerTCP Tools released earlier this year. By integrating Microsoft's CryptoAPI, Security Support Provider Interface and Winsock API, the Secure Tool uses SSL 2, SSL 3, PCT and TLS security protocols to automatically authenticate, encrypt and decrypt data communications over TCP. Developers can now easily protect sensitive data sent over the Internet with minimal programming and no royalty payments of any kind.
Visual Basic sample projects are included that provide a multi-threaded Secure Web Server, a Digital Certificate Manager, and a Secure Web Client. Solution Support is available for customers who need immediate application development support in Visual Basic and other environments.
PowerTCP Tools allow software developers to develop Internet applications in a fraction of the time it would take to construct networking code from scratch. ActiveX (ATL) controls for FTP, TCP, Secure TCP, POP3, IMAP4, SMTP, RAS, Ping, DNS, Telnet/rsh/rexec/rlogin, SNMP (Manager and Agent), VT320, UDP, Servers and HTTP/S eliminate the need for researching, developing and testing at the socket level. Included samples for Visual Basic®, Visual C++®, C++Builder, Delphi, and PowerBuilder® allow developers to write high performance Internet apps right out of the box.
"The Secure Tool is the first developer tool that gives Corporate IT a practical,
low-cost way to secure Internet communications for custom applications," says Michael
Baldwin, President of Dart Communications. "Microsoft's new OS-level encryption,
combined with Dart's easy-to-use SecureTcp component, gives the average developer an
encryption capability that has never been available before."
