See Codeless Ajax in Action on Alpha Software`s Blog

The real-time Web is coming, where online apps look and feel like desktop apps.
Codeless Ajax makes building real-time Web apps nearly effortless for
developers, consultants, businesses, and Web designers.
BURLINGTON, Mass.--(Business Wire)--
Calling all developers, designers, and entrepreneurs! Hit the Alpha Software
blog right now to see how codeless Ajax lets you create rich Internet
applications, without having to write or debug any code. Watch how easy it is to
assemble custom Web apps that look, feel, and perform like desktop apps, but run
entirely in the cloud. Witness Web databases that take user input and update
screens in real time, without reloading pages or having users click "submit."
See how you can spend less time bringing killer ideas to life, and more time
making money with them.

"The era of slow Web applications is ending," says Richard Rabins, Co-Chairman
of Alpha Software. "With the emergence of rich Internet experiences and the
drive to cloud computing, businesses want desktop-like functionality for their
workers and customers. This is a huge market opportunity for any developer,
designer, or entrepreneur who can deliver next-generation Web experiences
quickly and efficiently. And you won`t find a programming tool on the planet
that can build rich Internet apps faster than Alpha Five Version 10, with
codeless Ajax technology. You must see it to believe it."

Invented by Alpha Software, codeless Ajax is the hallmark of the upcoming Alpha
Five Version 10, an award-winning rapid development platform with visual editor,
database designer, reporting engine, support for major SQL databases, Xbasic
language, app genies, dozens of prefab functions and controls, and more. Now in
beta, the platform is slated to ship this year. Developers can request a copy of
the beta by writing to Marketing@AlphaSoftware.com. And everyone can see Alpha
Five Version 10 in action by visiting the Alpha Software blog, and watching the
company`s New Feature Peeks. New Feature Peeks are being added every few days,
so check back often to see the latest demos of codeless Ajax in action. You can
also subscribe to the Alpha Software blog to be alerted whenever a New Feature
Peek is posted.

Beta tester and professional developer Jim Dusoe used Alpha Five Version 10 to
build a student information tracking and reporting system in just 24 man hours.
This would have taken him at least three man weeks using other development
platforms, such as Visual Studio, IronSpeed, FileMaker, Servoy, PHP, or Java.

"I was able to prototype the app and get my client`s buy-in in minutes,
literally," Dusoe says. "I had the system finished and delivered three days
after first contact with the client. I`ve never used anything as productive as
Alpha Five. In fact, I was so impressed with the results, I dropped IronSpeed as
my development platform and switched to Alpha Five."

Rabins characterizes codeless Ajax as a true breakthrough in the history of
development tools. "In the 80s, Borland`s Turbo Pascal revolutionized
programming by introducing the integrated development environment," he says. "In
the 90s, Microsoft`s Visual Basic raised the bar with visual programming for
Windows applications. The bar will be raised again when we unleash our codeless
Ajax technology in the next quarter, and developer productivity will take a
flying leap forward. No matter what you use to build Web apps, if you care about
productivity, keep your eye on Alpha Five with codeless Ajax."

Dusoe agrees. "Users want Web applications that perform as well as desktop
apps," he says. "Designers want to add database features to their sites without
having to get a computer science degree. Entrepreneurs want to launch their
killer app in weeks, not months. And the faster developers can prototype and
deliver solutions, the more revenue they can earn in a year."
