What's H2O?
H2O is programming made for the web.

What's it like?
H2O is English-like. If you know some Perl, VB, ASP, or PhP you'll be immediately productive in H2O. It runs on Linux, Mac, Unix, and Windows.

How do I try it?
Download H2O for free. Get it from hosting providers. Or buy online.

Where does H2O come from?
The language was invented by Aestiva. H2O stands for:
   HTML with
   HTML/OS
   Overlays.

H2O Language Project

The H2O programming language is designed to meet the challenges of application development in the context of heterogeneous, network-wide distributed environments -- in other words, hosted web services, intranets, and everywhere "universal" computing takes place.

Paramount among these challenges is secure delivery of web applications that consume the minimum of system resources, run without special server configuration, run on any hardware and software platform, and can be extended as needed.

The H2O programming language originated as part of a research project to develop a web-centric language for web-centric databases. That engine, now called HTML/OS, was first introduced in 1996 by Aestiva. Since 1996 the database engine, along with its complimentary web language, underwent more than 5,000 revisions, updates and improvements.

In 2003 Aestiva decided to release a free, yet limited, version of HTML/OS so the general public could benefit from the most powerful computer language ever used for the World Wide Web.

The H2O and HTML/OS engine is code-named WebWindows. Direct access is available at http://www.webwindows.com.

The H2O language platform has proven itself with large corporations, educational institutions, government, and the military. It's used to create the most sophisticated secure, multi-user, web-based applications. And now it's available to anyone who wants to build powerful applications that work everywhere.
