PowerPlant includes a wide range of open source tools, like tools and compilers for: BASIC, Pascal, Python, Java, Perl, Scheme and C++. Rancho Santa Margarita, CA -- 22 May 2000 -- theKompany.com, producers and distributors of high-quality open source and commercial Linux software, announce the release of its premiere software product, PowerPlant. PowerPlant is a powerful suite of developer tools and software for producing top-quality, integrated Linux software. It can be used for a variety of deployment and development types, from 3D games, to Web applications, to enterprise and productivity software.
"While working on our other products, we noticed that it was often difficult and time consuming to find tools that we wanted to use that were both stable and cleanly installed. We were struck with the idea of creating a second tier Linux distribution that was strictly focused on developer's needs, and would be complimentary to all of the major Linux distributions," said president Shawn Gordon.
"With PowerPlant, we are working towards our goal of providing the Linux community with rock-solid, easy-to-use, all-in-one development tools. Many developers from other computing platforms have seen the same opportunity here, however, theKompany.com will go one step further by perfecting it," said Gordon. "We believe that by using the open source development model, we can exceed the quality of development software on any existing proprietary platform in a short time, and at low cost."
theKompany.com's products, including PowerPlant ($49.95 plus S&H) which includes over 150 tools, and the PowerPlant Developer Network ($39.95 p/year subscription), are available for sale directly on its web site, and available at local and online software distributors and resellers. As an introductory incentive shipping and handling are included until May 29, 2000.
PowerPlant includes a wide range of open source tools, like tools and compilers for: BASIC, Pascal, Python, Java, Perl, Scheme and C++. In addition, PowerPlant offers 3D graphics, sound tools, interface development tools, and Web development tools like PHP, as well as fully licensed and demo versions of top-level commercial software, such as:
