Alpha Five Version 10 Feature Peek #26: Using third-party editors with Alpha Five
September 9, 2009
When it comes to their work, many designers have a particular HTML editor that they like and prefer to stick with what they know. That’s why we’ve made it possible to incorporate platforms such as Adobe Dreamweaver or Microsoft Fontpage into your Alpha Five Version 10 Web project. Version 10 makes it easy to use third-party HTML editors. Have a look at the video below to see it in action.

You compare: Iron Speed, FileMaker, Microsoft Access, and Alpha Five

You compare: Iron Speed, FileMaker, Microsoft Access, and Alpha Five
One of the pre-sales tools we’re most proud of here at Alpha is our competitive features grid, which compares Alpha Five with other leading database development platforms, including Microsoft Access 2007, Filemaker Pro 9, Filemaker Pro 9 Advanced, Filemaker Server 9, and Filemaker Server 9 Advanced. About a year ago, we hired a neutral professional software reviewer, and our marching orders were only this: Be honest.
We recently expanded that features grid to include FileMaker Pro 10. And now, our most updated version includes Iron Speed.
We hired an actual Iron Speed developer to help us, and we’re confident it’s accurate. It’s clear there are some features in Microsoft Access, FileMaker, and Iron Speed that are better than Alpha Five Version 9. And there are some features of Alpha Five that are better than Access, FileMaker, and Iron Speed.
The purpose of this grid is not to say we’re the best. Rather, our goal is to help developers make the right choice in software for their particular project. We believe if you’re looking to build database-driven Web applications in a heartbeat, this grid will show you Alpha Five is right for that requirement.
As always, if you find any inaccuracies in Alpha Five or in any of these products, please let us know in the comments section, or shoot me an e-mail. As I said, the purpose of this grid is to be as accurate and as fair as possible. And, if there are any other databases dev platforms you think we should include, we’d like to know that too. So have a look at our most updated competitive features grid, and let us know what you think.

FREE webinar with TechSoup: Develop your own online database with Alpha Five
We haven’t sent out our official press release on this yet (I know, I know, spilling the beans again), but Alpha Software has donated 600 copies of Alpha Five to TechSoup to be distributed to 600 qualified nonprofit organizations.
TechSoup is one of the country’s oldest and largest nonprofit technology assistance agencies. The organization offers nonprofits in over 20 countries a one-stop resource for technology needs by providing free information, resources, and support. And they offer nonprofits donated and discounted technology products provided by corporate and nonprofit technology partners, like us!
TechSoup immediately caught the attention of Alpha, because we appreciate the men and women who toil to improve our communities and help those who need help most. It’s a great way for any company to share what we know and do best. In our case, that’s building better database tools.
When I think about the fact that Alpha Five will be powering some truly socially responsible applications, it strengthens my sense that our technology is doing something meaningful in the world.
To get these organizations up and running as quickly as possible, TechSoup is partnering with Alpha Software to offer a FREE webinar on building Web and desktop databases applications with Alpha Five. The webinar will take place this coming Tuesday, Oct. 28 at 11 a.m. Pacific time. If you are interested in registering please e-mail Marketing@AlphaSoftware.com with “non profit webinar” in the subject line.
