ASTA takes the burden off developers and allows you to build
cross platform, thin client, zero admin, secure, scalable Database
applications that can run over the Internet. We want you to
concentrate on coding your application rather than dealing with low
level issues like threading, encryption, or writing SQL update
statements. With ASTA you set properties rather than have to
implement with code. If you are using a library that requires you to use low level
techniques like 'critical sections' for threading, move to ASTA 3 where servers
are threaded by default and the developer is shielded from such low level error prone
techniques. ASTA 3 allows developers to concentrate on coding applications rather than
dealing with low level "socket" issues.
The Internet Second Wave is here and the ASTA Technology
Framework provides the foundation to not only build scalable rich,
thin client applications but to add collaborative tools and full
cross platform support beyond the Desktop.
Most ASTA developers are Database Application Developers and
start with a database centric view of the world. ASTA wants to
remind you that "There is more to Heaven and Earth Horatio, than
Win32 Database applications". There is a wave coming that will
leverage wireless and collaborative technologies and with ASTA you
can provide today what your customers will be asking for tomorrow like Voice over IP.
