Active Page Generator (APGen™) is now the leading programming environment for pre-rendering web pages and generating other content. Pre-rendering yields many benefits, including unrivaled web page performance, superior reliability, reduced web hosting costs and ease of maintenance. "With the release of APGen 2.1, we decided to make the Developer License available to all developers at no cost," said John Crim, CTO of WebGecko Software. "APGen does require some ramp-up time and we decided that free licenses for developers is the right model for widespread adoption. By making APGen Developer Edition free, developers can use the full-featured product as needed for development work and to explore pre-rendering. We are confident that, once developers spend a few hours with APGen, it will become a permanent part of their developer toolkit. We also plan to grow the Community section of our web site to give developers a place to interact."
