Dataline Launches a New Version of Its Unique Product for Web Enabling Databases

Brighton, United Kingdom, April 16, 2010 --(PR.com)-- This month Dataline Software proudly announces a new version of i5 Studio – a powerful web developers’ toolkit suited for rapid application development. Over fifty new features have been introduced in version 3.5, to make the development environment richer, faster and easier to use.

When work started on the new version eighteen months ago, Dataline identified three enhancement "pillars" - key features crucial for a modern web development project:

1. Easy integration with Ajax and jQuery, using just-in-time CSS generation.
2. Seamless integration with Microsoft Visual Studio, via a native .NET programming interface.
3. Effective indexing by spiders such as Google or Bing, using a new permalink feature.

These three core features have all been completed and are included in the new release. Further details of these and other enhancements in version 3.5 can be found online at http://www.dataline.co.uk/scripts/dataline.dll?page=producti5.newfeatures35

Mike Robinson, Technical Director of Dataline is keen to point out that an underlying design goal was that the product remained easy to use, saying "We wanted to stay true to our ideal that building web apps should not just be the domain of highly skilled software developers, but that IT literate users should be empowered to web-enable their data too."

As a result, the point-and-click wizards in the new version of i5 can still transform SQL data into interactive web pages in less than a minute.

Existing versions of i5 already underpin a wide range of business applications worldwide. These installations can be upgraded free of charge, provided that customers are signed up to Dataline's Annual License Subscription (ALS) package.
