New Stylus Studio 5 Home Edition Offers Powerful Low-Cost XML IDE for Mass-MarketBedford, Mass. — Aug 3, 2004 — Stylus Studio (http://www.stylusstudio.com), the industry leading provider of XML tools for all XML technologies including XML, XSL, XSLT, XML Schema, Web services, SQL/XML, and XQuery, today announced the release of a new, value-priced Home Edition of their award-winning XML IDE specifically designed for the millions of XML enthusiasts currently learning or working with XML in educational, training, or home learning settings. The new Stylus Studio 5 Home Edition is offered at just $49 (USD) for a single-user license and boasts substantially more XML development features in comparison to other low-cost XML tools. When it comes to low-cost XML tools, software developers need to shop carefully. Smaller product companies offer tools with very limited, specialized functionality. So-called 'free' XML editors offer XML features, but are unsupported and come with constraints that often render the application unusable and after short (sometimes after as few as 24 hours) trial periods. Stylus Studio 5 Home Edition offers a clear alternative to partial solutions and bait-and-switch software. Stylus Studio 5 Home Edition: The Simple, Sensible Alternative"Before deciding on using Stylus Studio, I tried several XML editors and IDEs. I chose Stylus Studio because it gives me exactly what I need for developing XML-driven Web applications that take advantage of XSLT stylesheets and XML schema capabilities", said Saun Shewanown, an Instructional Technology doctoral student at The University of Georgia. "An XML-driven Web site is a great vehicle for sharing concepts that involve large amounts of data. I prefer not to spend too much of my time programming — Stylus Studio allows me to separate the user interface from the data — a great plus for people who appreciate software design. Stylus Studio offers the features I need without a lofty price." "XML technologies, once reserved for the IT elite, are now the talk of town with new XML features appearing in every programming and scripting language, database, Web service framework — they all speak XML! So XML has become a mandatory skill for any Web developer or IT professional these days. Stylus Studio 5 Home Edition offers a sensible solution for the growing community of XML enthusiasts, providing a highly intuitive and productive environment for working with and learning XML at an incredibly affordable price — just $49 bucks! That's not a lot of money for most, and it's a very prudent way to invest in acquiring and upgrading essential XML skills," said Ivan Pedruzzi, Stylus Studio's Senior Product Architect. "Naturally, as Stylus Studio 5 Home Edition users advance their skills, their needs for a robust and complete XML IDE will grow. And we are excited to offer Stylus Studio 5 XML Professional Edition, which provides even more advanced support for XML Mapping, XQuery, XSLT, SQL/XML, Web services, and more at just $395 for a single-user license. Home Edition users who choose to upgrade can put their purchase price toward Stylus Studio 5 XML Professional Edition — only $346 for Stylus Studio 5 XML Professional Edition represents a class-leading value on the industry’s most powerful and innovative XML IDE." The Extensible Markup Language (XML) is a simple, flexible file format developed by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) designed to simplify the standards-based exchange of a wide variety of any information on the Web and within and across enterprises.
