Open source programming languages such as Perl and Python have the highest instance of open source use in an organization at 57% according to a recent Forrester Research survey conducted with Dr. Dobb's readers. As dynamic languages presence and importance increases, organizations will rely more on enterprise-ready dynamic languages to create higher quality products, to take products to market quicker and to conserve development time and costs for core competencies.
Join Lawrence Backman, VP, Quality Assurance at Computer Associates, one of the largest independent software companies in the world, and Jeff Hobbs, Director of Engineering at ActiveState, the Dynamic Languages Experts, to learn:
- The value of enterprise-class dynamic languages for developing quality applications faster
- How Computer Associates uses enterprise-ready ActivePerl to save development time and dollars
- Open source licensing considerations and solutions to mitigate risk and ensure compliance
Attendees will also receive a complimentary whitepaper, "Origins and Benefits of Dynamic Languages: A closer look at Perl, Python, PHP and others."
Join us for the Webinar on Wedneday, March 10, 2010 @ 11AM PST/2PM EST/7PM GMT/UT.

You may (or may not) have noticed that last month we introduced a new feature to our newsletter: our monthly quick poll.
It's a quick (90 second max.) survey of 3-5 questions, and every month you will find it located on the top right hand side of our newsletter. And when you take the time to answer our survey, you are entered to win an ActiveState t-shirt (should you decide to share your email address with us).
Last month we asked, "What kind of applications are you building with dynamic languages?" The results may surprise you!
