Following up re: Komodo 10.2 release

Hi sherly,

I am following up on last week's announcement about the release of Komodo IDE 10.2.

Since you previously downloaded ActivePerl, I thought you might be interested in trying out Komodo IDE for Perl development. You can download Komodo IDE 10.2 here.

In case you missed it, the latest features include:

• New unit testing with support for more frameworks (including PHPUnit, pytest, Prove, Mocha, RSPec and Go) and enhanced functionality
• Slack sharing - Share code directly from Komodo
• Yarn support (new package manager for Node.js)
• Django and Flask toolboxes
• Ruby 2.4 and Rails 5 support
• Tutorials for Catalyst, Django, Flask, Pyramid and Rails

With the new unit testing, you can filter test results, jump to test definitions and debug easily within your tests. I encourage you to try it out! Let me know if you have any questions and I'll be happy to assist. A few more helpful links:

- What's New in Komodo 10.2
- Komodo for Perl Development

All the best,

Have you considered ActivePerl Business Edition?

Have You Considered Business Edition? I’m reaching out because you’ve downloaded ActivePerl Community Edition, and I wanted to quickly touch base about how you are using it, and the other editions of our software you might want to consider. Am I using the right edition? This is a common question we get asked... So see which one below best fits your situation: If you're using ActivePerl for personal use, or for corporate use only in a dev or test environment, then you may keep using Community Edition. If you're using ActivePerl to create scripts that are being deployed or used in production, or installing it on production servers, you'll need a Business or Enterprise Edition license. If you're redistributing ActivePerl, OEM licensing is required. Many of our customers have purchased a Business Edition of ActivePerl because they require a legacy version of ActivePerl (5.20 or earlier), have open source compliance requirements at their organization, or require a technical contact for email support. If you think you or your organization might need Business Edition, buy directly online or contact me to find out more--call me at 778-786-1100 or just reply to this email. Cheers, Mateo Hernandez The ActiveState Team P.S. If you’re looking to redistribute ActivePerl, have a large number of servers, or will be deploying scripts on Big Iron servers, I would be happy to introduce you to one of my colleagues to discuss our Enterprise and OEM solutions. 1000 - 1177 West Hastings,| Vancouver, BC V6E 2K3 | Canada | Phone: (778) 786 1100 | Toll-Free: 1 (866) 631 4581 | Fax: (778) 786 1133     www.activestate.com

UPCOMING WEBINAR! Test Driven Development with ActivePython

WEBINAR: Test Driven Development With ActivePython Hi sherly, Date: January 25th, 2017 Time: 10am PST/1pm EST Speakers: Tom Radcliffe (ActiveState Director of Engineering) & Jeff Rouse (ActiveState Director of Product Management) Register here Test driven development (TDD) continues to grow in popularity as a development process that promotes diligence, oversight, and robust programming practices. In fact, in our recent Open Source Survey, nearly half of respondents stated that they used TDD as one of their core development processes. Whether for new or legacy projects, TDD is becoming increasingly critical to how large enterprises develop and maintain applications. This feedback coupled with requests from Python developers led to the inclusion of key TDD modules in our most recent release of ActivePython. (To learn more about the latest ActivePython releases, 2.7.12 & 3.5.2, check out this blog.)  In this webinar, Tom Radcliffe (ActiveState Director of Engineering) and Jeff Rouse (ActiveState Director of Product Management) discuss the emergence and importance of TDD, how it impacts Python developers, and what it means for enterprise programming. Some of the key topics they’ll cover include: - What is TDD and how can it be implemented successfully - Why is ActivePython well suited to TDD - How can enterprises benefit from TDD - And more! Join us on January 25th to learn more! Thanks! Cheers, The ActivePython Team P.S. Did you know that Komodo IDE is now included with ActivePython? Review this blog for more details. #1000 - 1177 W.
