If you are familiar with Aptana, then you will enjoy this news. Modern web sites and applications use Ajax to create engaging user experiences: the HTML and CSS are set in motion using JavaScript running in the browser and calling back the server. To achieve this, the server needs to prepare the web page appropriately, and to know what to do when the JavaScript calls it. But the server knows nothing about the HTML and CSS DOM, nor how to handle JavaScript data, and you can’t code it in JavaScript…

…Jaxer changes all that. Jaxer is the world’s first true Ajax server. HTML, JavaScript, and CSS are native to Jaxer, as are XMLHttpRequests, JSON, DOM scripting, etc. And as a server it offers access to databases, files, and networking, as well as logging, process management, scalability, security, integration APIs, and extensibility.

Some of the key features that Jaxer provide are:

- Write entire applications or presentation layers in Ajax
- Share validation code on the browser and server
- Full DOM and JavaScript on the server
- Database, file, and socket access from JavaScript
- Seamless communications between browser and server
- Open-source, standards-based, and uses the APIs you already know
- Access existing pages written in other languages like PHP, Java, or Ruby on Rails

The guys at Aptana Labs have done great job again. They finally released stable version of Aptana. Here is part from their message to all of us:

We are very proud to release Aptana Studio 1.0 (formerly Aptana IDE). After over two years of non-stop development and over a million downloads, we have finally reached “1.0″. Along with the release of 1.0, we have also created two editions of the product: Community and Professional. The Community Edition is the keystone of the Studio product, where all core features and capabilities are developed. The Professional Edition brings additional features and services beyond the free Community edition.

Some of the new features we’ve added to Aptana Studio 1.0 Community Edition:

* CSS Preview
* HTML, CSS, and JavaScript Formatting
* Code drag and drop
* Visual ScriptDoc Explorer
* Enhanced Dynamic Help System
* Tons of User Interface Polish

Some of the extra features we’ve added to Aptana Studio 1.0 Professional:

* JSON Editor
* Internet Explorer Debugging
* Remote Project Creation
* FTPS and SFTP Support
* Reporting Engine

Besides new features, the Professional Edition also includes priority support and access to the latest nightly and prereleased features across all of our development, including RadRails, PHP, Adobe AIR, and iPhone support.
Aptana Studio isn’t the only product we’re working on, and you’ll see more from us soon. In the mean time, if you are using Aptana Studio professionally, support our efforts by ‘going Pro’. Whichever edition you chose to use, Community or Professional, we look forward to your feedback, feature requests, and comments. It is our community that helps us build a better product — a product that ultimately is for you.
