Pervasive Software Ships Tango 2000 for Mac OS
Mac Developers Can Now Develop and Deploy E-Business Applications, Leveraging Advanced Tango 2000 Capabilities That Speed Time to Market
SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 5, 2000--Pervasive Software Inc. (Nasdaq:PVSW - news), a leading provider of software that delivers the freedom to create applications for everyone, everywhere, today announced at the MACWORLD Expo the availability of the Tango(TM) 2000 Web development environment for the Mac OS operating environment. This new release of the award-winning Tango 2000 software enables Macintosh developers to build and deploy e-business applications and dynamic Web sites in the latest Mac operating environment, while leveraging Tango 2000's advanced, visually-oriented development capabilities to bring applications to market in Internet time.
Today's announcement underscores Pervasive's ongoing commitment to the Mac operating system as a premier Web development and deployment environment. Customer shipments of Tango 2000 for the Mac OS environment commenced in late December 1999, and Pervasive plans to ship a version of Tango 2000 for Mac OS X when Apple releases that forthcoming operating environment.
The Tango 2000 for Mac OS development environment includes many powerful features and components, including full XML integration and Tango Class Files (TCFs). By providing developers with full XML integration, XML can be treated as data types inside the Tango application for easier manipulation of structured data. TCFs also give developers the freedom to write code only and then reuse the code as an object in future projects. This efficient capability enables developers to save significant development time.
''Working in Tango gives me the opportunity to build and deploy applications that are easy to configure and flexible enough to deploy across numerous platforms including the Mac OS operating environment,'' said Michael Steele, University of Oklahoma's production manager and Webmaster for student affairs. ''One thing you learn about Tango right at the outset is that the product's full-featured functionality and easy-to-use Tango Class Files can be reused after the initial development, dramatically reducing the time-to-market on future projects.''
Steele is currently designing an intranet portal for the University of Oklahoma's official Web site. For more information on the Web site, go to www.dsa.ou.edu.
''Tango 2000 for Mac OS takes Mac-based Web development to the cutting edge and demonstrates that Pervasive is committed to delivering the most advanced Web development technology on the latest platforms,'' said Greg Hemstreet, Pervasive general manager for the Tango business unit. ''With the proliferation of Web applications in today's Internet economy, developers look for the shortest path from e-business concept to full deployment. Pervasive's visually oriented Tango 2000 Web development environment gives developers that crucial time-to-market edge, enabling them to create and deploy e-business applications more quickly than with other Web development products.''
