We've implemented tons of new improvements and sharpened code.activestate.com to make it the place to go for dynamic language and web development code recipes.
ActiveState and O'Reilly worked in collaboration to deliver a site where developers can share best practices and recipes, make their life easier and become known in the community.
ActiveState Business Edition integrates commercial-grade ActivePerl, ActivePython and ActiveTcl support with access to platform builds and repositories for Windows, Linux, Mac OS X, AIX, Solaris and HP-UX as well as to older versions across all platforms.
Dynamic languages like Perl, Python and Tcl are often used because of their flexibility and extensibility, providing development with the tools to create applications faster.
They say there's no such thing as a free lunch. Well, ActiveState has been giving away ActivePerl, ActivePython and ActiveTcl builds for years, and it's been good for us and for the open source language community.
We're going to keep doing that, but we're no longer going to be offering all the old versions for download.
The ActiveState online store and customer account functions are moving from C# to an open source dynamic languages based solution.
While we transition data in the systems, online purchases and customer accounts will be unavailable on Tuesday, August 25, from approximately 5pm but should be back by 8pm Pacific Time.
Development teams can finally hone their Perl, Python and Tcl programming skills with the new Business Training program ActiveState launched today. There are a lot of benefits to encouraging developers to polish their programming skills.
One obvious reason is that the development team could become better experts in coding with Perl, Python and Tcl. For their organization, this means a couple of things:
Write a poem about your favorite ActiveState product and you could win an ActiveState t-shirt!
We're accepting entries until August 31st.
Leave us a comment with your entry or email it to marcom [at] activestate [dot] com (subject: ActiveState poem) with "ActiveState poem" in the subject line.
