Stackato Beta Officially Launched
We are happy to announce the Beta release of Stackato, our enterprise cloud platform for Perl and Python. The Beta wouldn't have been possible without all the great feedback we received from our Developer Preview over the past few months. We've incorporated your suggestions by adding and beefing up these features: - Python 3 support
- PostgreSQL database
- MongoDB database
- Catalyst (Perl web framework)
- https support
We'd love to get more input as we move into the Beta phase. Simply request access and we'll send you an invite code and a VM download link for you to get started. You'll also want to check out our new video: "Python in the Cloud: Lessons Learned at ActiveState". Based on our experience with Stackato, we've developed six best practices for distributing and deploying apps to the cloud. We hope you enjoy the Beta and we look forward to getting your feedback! Request access to the Stackato Beta>>

| | Whitepaper: Leverage the Cloud for Your Python & Perl Applications
Historically, moving your applications to the cloud meant making changes to your code in order for it to work in that new space. That has often meant scrapping perfectly good code and starting from scratch--but moving applications to the cloud is getting a lot easier, and there are several good business reasons to do so. Find out how Stackato offers a simple way to deploy your apps to the cloud in 15 minutes or less. Download our featured whitepaper>>

Cloud Events: VMworld and Cloud Computing Expo
ActiveState is excited to be sponsoring two big cloud computing events this year! With the launch of the Stackato Beta, we want to be on hand to talk to those of you with your heads in the cloud. Aug. 29 - Sep. 1, we will be at VMworld in Las Vegas. Look for us in the New Innovator section of the hall, at booth #171O (as in "OH yeah, we're excited!). We'll be doing a technical talk as well (date TBD). If you're heading there and would like to see Stackato in action or chat with us, send us an email.
Nov. 7 - 10, we will be at the Cloud Computing Expo in Santa Clara, CA. Come find us on the exhibit floor, and catch our speaking session featuring Bart Copeland, President and CEO of ActiveState. If you plan to be there and would like to arrange a chat, let us know! Of course, we're always keen on sponsoring events - check out our other upcoming events in the right hand side of this newsletter and tell us if there's one we should be attending.

| | Quality Ingredients for Software: ActivePerl, ActivePython and ActiveTcl
Spending time, resources and money "recreating the wheel" is not a wise business choice, yet many companies find that they are doing just that. When it comes to software development, rely on pre-built and proven dynamic scripting languages ActivePerl, ActivePython and ActiveTcl to give your team time to focus on core competencies and value-add. Shorten your development cycle, increase efficiency, and shorten your time to market--all while relying on the industry's best available (cross-platform) language distributions. Learn more about redistribution options for ActivePerl, ActivePython and ActiveTcl>> |

Thanks to everyone who participated in July's quick poll. And congratulations to Kenny Fowler, who has won a free license of Komodo IDE.
