IntraWeb made it possible for us to create a website

with a Geographic Information System (GIS),

interactive pie-charts, and database query tools that

displays data for 250,000 lots in New York City. Wehave planned this sort of site before, but never felt

confident that our technology would allow it without

a massive investment of time. With IntraWeb, we

were able to translate the plan into action within ten

days."

Gary Ostroff, Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce

You will be able to develop, test, and deploy a web-

based app with no more effort than developing,

testing, and deploying a lan-based app. I don't think it

can get any easier than this. I am a very happy

customer, and I would highly recommend it to any

and all developers who are tired of banging their

heads against the wall trying to get web apps up and

running.

Using IntraWeb you can build web applications which respond faster, use less bandwidth, take less time to

develop, are easy to test and deploy, and generally behave just like you would expect from a desktop

application!

There is very little difference between writing an IntraWeb application* and a normal application. Most

developers, even with no prior web development experience, successfully develop weblications using

IntraWeb in under 30 minutes. Developers need not spend months learning how individual HTML pages

interact using HTTP, or learning JavaScript to customize the client interface. They can leverage their existing

knowledge immediately.

*Application - A web application or weblication, is any type of application that is similar to what you would put into anexecutable, but instead deployed using a web browser and the Internet. IntraWeb is the only tool specifically gearedtowards this type of development.

Get the newest versions at www.atozed.com. For a limited time you will get a discount on upgradelicenses, which include priority support and all free updates (even major releases) during themaintenance time!

IntraWebis a web application developmentframework for:

VCL (Delphi, Borland C++Builder, Kylix)

.NET(Delphi .NET, C#, VB.NET)
