Thank you for purchasing or evaluating html++ from DC Micro Development. html++ is a sophisticated, cross-platform, class library that encapsulates HTML (hypertext markup language) tags and features in a convenient, easy-to-use library of C++ classes.
html++ lets you create dynamic web sites using C++ objects instead of HTML tags. html++ is a higher-performance, more flexible alternative to scripting languages such as Perl.
html++ automates and manages many of the most difficult and cumbersome aspects of web page construction, such as CGI (common gateway interface) and forms processing, nested tables, dynamic web page generation, and HTML output.
HTML: delivering information everywhere
HTML, the language used to construct and render web pages and other internet-related documents, is rapidly becoming the new standard by which information is delivered to computer users from all walks of life. This explosion in growth is creating new demands on developers to produce interactive web sites, ones that can tailor their behavior based on feedback from the user or other sources.
Until now, web developers have had to use proprietary, arcane, or inefficient languages such as Perl, shell scripts, or custom controls to produce dynamic content. Such tools are not easily scaled for high-bandwidth uses, and are generally not portable to other operating systems.
C/C++ is more powerful and practical
By contrast, applications developed using C++ are extremely lightweight and fast. C++ is uniformly supported by practically all computer architectures and operating systems. Furthermore, many development tools and programming libraries, such as those for databases and communications, are available for C/C++ but are simply not compatible with scripting environments such as Perl.
Equally important, solutions developed using Perl or similar scripting systems may not work on other systems, such as when migrating from a Windows NT server to a Unix server. html++ overcomes such limitations by providing a uniform set of features across disparate environments.
html++ allows developers to use familiar tools
Instead of spending time learning cryptic interpreted scripting languages, developers who already use C and C++ can become productive immediately. You will be able to use and leverage your existing base of experience and code. Now you can create interactive web sites and applications quickly and easily.
