REAL Software Announces REAL Studio Web Edition; Revolutionizes How Web Applications are Developed
AUSTIN, TEXAS, USA (August 31, 2010)— REAL Software, creator of REAL Studio, a powerful, cross-platform software development tool for Mac OS X, Windows and Linux, today announced a new platform for their development tool, the web, which will be available in REAL Studio Web Edition. REAL Studio has a low learning curve, making it the perfect development tool for users who are new to programming as well as professional developers.
Traditional web development requires developers to learn multiple languages including HTML, CSS, JavaScript, AJAX, PHP and Java. REAL Studio Web Edition, which includes patent pending technology, provides a visual drag and drop interface builder that saves hours of development time when compared to hand-coding HTML and CSS. Developers will only need to learn a single high-level, object-oriented language which is tightly integrated with the REAL Studio web framework.
Benefits of using REAL Studio Web Edition to develop web applications include:
- Low learning curve compared to learning multiple complicated languages.
- Speed of development is 30 to 50 times faster than traditional languages.
- The compiled applications are binaries, making them extremely difficult to hack.
- Applications are compiled to machine code allowing developers to sell their software with the knowledge that their intellectual property is safe and secure.
- A lot of widgets are included to help you build your user interface.
- If you choose, you can give your app a desktop-like look and feel.
- Because it compiles your app to machine code, code execution is very fast compared to interpreted languages like PHP.
- The integrated debugger makes tracking down bugs far easier than traditional web development tools.
“Traditional web application development takes too long and the learning curve puts it out of the reach of most developers,” commented Geoff Perlman, REAL Software Founder and CEO. “REAL Studio revolutionizes the way web applications are created by making it accessible to all developers. Traditionally you’d need to learn several different web technologies, but now we can offer a single solution. By replacing a long list of languages and techniques with a single, highly-integrated solution, we dramatically lower the learning curve and greatly increase productivity which finally makes web application development affordable.”
"As far as web applications and user experience go, looking like a real desktop application is one thing, but feeling like it is another," offered Hicham Oudghiri, a developer at Querylabs. "The people at REAL Software have deeply investigated these sorts of subtleties and made it possible to move beyond OS dependency. Finally we can create applications where no compromises are made during development in between form and function, where there is no difference in between desktop and browser."
"REAL Studio is taking the mundane and tedious tasks out of the web development process," commented Mike Bailey, a developer for BlackBag Technologies and longtime REAL Studio user. "Web developers will be much more efficient and concentrate on learning just one language rather than getting multiple tools and languages to interface nicely with each other. REAL Software has been doing this for over a decade for desktop applications and I'm excited to see it coming to the web."
"Redcort Software has been using REAL Studio to develop cross-platform commercial applications for over a decade," commented Keith Delong of Redcort Software. After an extensive evaluation of development tools available for web applications we couldn't be more enthusiastic about REAL Software's new Web Edition for REAL Studio. By adding the ability to easily build web applications to their mature REAL Studio product, REAL Software has given the web development community a revolutionary new set of tools: a truly integrated development environment for the web with an easy-to-use graphical interface, a mature compiler, debugging tools, and a powerful, modern object-oriented programming language."
REAL Studio Web Edition will be available Fall 2010. REAL Studio Web Edition will cost $599 for a new license and will also be available in REAL Studio Enterprise Edition, which is priced at $995. REAL Studio Enterprise Edition is available now and currently compiles cross-platform applications for Mac, Windows and Linux.
REAL Studio is currently available in three editions: Personal, Professional and Enterprise.
