REVOLUTION TO BE INCLUDED IN SPECTRA LINUX DISTRO
Runtime Revolution and Protabus Technologies Team Up in uDevix Alliance
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Edinburgh, Scotland, 3rd September 2002
Runtime Revolution, the leader in multi-platform software development
solutions, announced today that Linux leader Probatus Technologies has
chosen the Revolution software development system to run on Probatus
Spectra Linux release 1.2 as part of its uDevix partner program. Probatus
will include the Revolution Starter Kit Edition with every copy of Spectra
Linux.
Revolution for Linux delivers an advanced feature set, high speed, and
rock-solid reliability for enterprise-level customers, developers, and
educators. Using Revolution's unique "write once, deploy anywhere"
technology, a developer can write an application on Linux and port it
immediately to all the platforms Revolution supports - including Mac,
Windows, and Unix - with no code changes. With its high-level integrated
language, application prototyping interface, and fast development
capabilities, Revolution for Linux saves developers time, money, and effort.
"Runtime Revolution's standards-compliant solution is the answer to the
needs of thousands of Linux developers worldwide. We were more than happy
to have the chance to include it in the Spectra Linux distribution," said
Esa Tervo, Chief Technology Officer of Probatus Technologies. "The
collaboration between Runtime Revolution and Probatus brings major benefits
to Linux professionals all over the world. This kind of cooperation between
Linux software companies is pioneering and a significant step, as
Linux is conquering the world. Linux is now ready for serious business."
Kevin Miller, Managing Director of Runtime Revolution, remarked, "We're
excited by the opportunity to partner with Probatus Technogies and further
extend our commitment to the Linux development sector. Software development
is about creating powerful, reliable solutions quickly. This new
partnership brings even more Linux developers the power to do just that."
Key features and benefits of Revolution include:
- Full cross-platform development capability: Code can be written once,
then built for all major platforms with a single click. In addition to
Linux, Revolution supports popular Unix flavors, Windows, "classic" Mac OS
and OS X, making it easy for Linux developers to create compatible
solutions and increasing the potential market for their software by a
factor of fifteen.
- Look-and-feel preview: You can see how the application will look and
behave on all platforms, using a single development machine.
- Support for Internet protocols: Developers can use FTP or HTTP (or use
the built-in socket commands to implement other protocols) to quickly and
easily produce client-server applications.
- CGI processing ability: Revolution can be used as a complete Web solution.
- Easy-to-use language syntax and powerful GUI builder: Revolution's
integrated development environment and strong feature set make for faster
development and lower costs.
- Built-in access to Oracle, ODBC, and MySQL databases: It's easy to
develop business solutions that rely on back-end databases.
- External code hooks: Revolution applications can use compiled code
modules written in any language.
