WebDNA: an incredibly flexible scripting language and database system

WebDNA is a FREEWARE; it is an easy to learn server-side scripting language specifically designed for the World Wide Web, with an embedded hybrid in-memory database system. It allows to easily build database-driven websites.



WebDNA is a general-purpose server-side scripting language and database system designed for web development to produce dynamic database-based web pages. For this purpose, WebDNA code is embedded into the HTML source document and interpreted by a web server with a WebDNA FastCGI processor, which generates the web page document. WebDNA allows the developer to build a wide range of applications, from very basic form-to-email to highly sophisticated database-driven intranet sites. Very easy to learn, a single easy to understand WebDNA instruction would replace complex php or asp code. A developer can typically complete 3 WebDNA sites in the time it takes to achieve one with php or asp.

WebDNA is robust enough to handle complex e-commerce, yet basic enough for simple sites. Because WebDNA uses the English language and familiar tag structure, HTML is the only background needed, making it ideal for the web designer who can create dynamic sites without relying on outside programming help.

An unlimited number of ultra-fast databases can reside within your site hierarchy. There is no need to use MySQL, Microsoft SQL or PostGres, at all.

Writing to and searching through a WebDNA database is integrated into the language itself so that variables are immediately available, using one single syntax. You do not need to deal with complex PHP syntax and MySQL syntax. One single WebDNA command does it all.

WebDNA can interact with Flash, Applets, JavaScript, Ajax, and many other client-side processors to create the perfect client-to-server balance. It will also integrate with any payment gateways and other web services, such as shipping rate quotes, whether object (Java) driven or form driven. WebDNA is a "play nice with others" application.

Whether you need to build a dynamic ecommerce website, web applications, or just password protect a file, WebDNA will allow you to do it much faster and more easily than with any other traditional tool.

WebDNA 7.1 is now a Freeware. It costs nothing, and it is more solid and faster than ever.

WebDNA runs on Windows, Solaris, OSX or Linux.
