Welcome to ALP Software Development Kit documentation. This is the start page from which you find faster the most significant areas for your work. On the right side of the page are listed the most important topics for the developers - object references, overviews and links to other areas frequently needed in the process of application development.  

New to ALP?

Active Local Pages is an execution engine, browser and tools for stand alone applications development which employs well-known WEB programming techniques. I.e. with ALP you can build applications that will run on the desktop just like any other desktop application (for example written in C, VB, Delphi) but you use WEB programming techniques and skills to do so. Still ALP needs no network functionality, nor WEB server components to run the applications (no matter that it resembles the functionality usually associated with a WEB server). The applications built with ALP will not be restricted by firewalls, security restrictions (like in XP SP2) and can be considered equivalent to any other application built for the desktop in other language/tool, just the way the applications are written is another and more convenient than usual for many purposes. ALP is more compatible with the different Microsoft Windows versions than many other development tools and provides huge set of components that allow the developer create portable and self-sufficient products.
