Lasso Overview
Lasso is a server-side programming language and web application server from LassoSoft, used to build data-driven websites and web applications. It pairs its own scripting language, executed by the Lasso Server, with tools for connecting web pages to databases, so developers can generate dynamic pages and handle forms, sessions, and server-side logic. Lasso has a long history: it began in the 1990s as a way to publish FileMaker databases on the web and evolved into a general-purpose web application server, with Lasso 9 being the modern version. It can work with a range of data sources, including SQL databases and FileMaker, and provides language features for working with text, dates, and common web tasks. Lasso runs on server operating systems including Windows and macOS and is aimed at developers and organizations building and maintaining database-backed websites. It is a commercial product from LassoSoft; check the official site for current editions and pricing. This page links to the official Lasso download.
