Beyond Scripting... Professional Programming for the Web.

LassoTM with FileMaker

Simply the best way to tie your FileMaker system to the Web

Ten years ago Lasso began its journey to become a professional Web programming language tool to tie FileMaker to the Web. This year marks the 10th anniversary of the Lasso product launch, and ten years of successfully publishing FileMaker databases online.

FileMaker is famous for its ease-of-use in building time-saving databases for desktop use, and Lasso was born from the need of having that same ease when putting databases online. Ten-years later, Lasso still makes tying FileMaker databases to Web sites as easy as ever, but now offers a large toolset of advanced programming features to build complete Web-based applications.

With Lasso, you can extend your FileMaker applications to the web while utilizing the same FileMaker database to store your data. Lasso's built in security model is more secure and robust than open-source or FileMaker's built-in web security.
