With the ability to add new beans to Java Studio, the functionality and interoperability of applications is increased. And Java Studio will help fuel the growth of the Beans market.

Also, other 100% Pure Java components from third-party vendors can be imported into Java Studio or they can be developed internally using a Beans-compliant integrated development environment (IDE).

It's a non-programmer's world out there

Java Studio provides a complete visual environment for both the workspace and components, and it obliterates the need for users to know even basic programming concepts (event modeling and compiling, for example). With corporations increasingly moving their business applications and internal projects to the Internet and/or intranets, teams of Web developers have formed to meet these needs. According to Sun's Keller, the number of non-programmers to programmers on Web development teams is approximately 10 to 1. (Keller says Sun is conservative with its figures; he cites ratios as high as 50 to 1.) Java Studio provides a solid tool for Webmasters, content creators, and graphic artists to use in creating their Web-based applications.

The dollar details

Available now, Java Studio can be purchased for 9 through Sun's Software Shop (see Resources). By the end of the year, you'll also be able to purchase Java Studio at retail software stores throughout the country. And Netscape will be offering Java Studio at its Software Depot site (see Resources).

Java Studio/Java Workshop bundle
Through February 28, 1998, Java Studio and Java WorkShop also come bundled together for 89 (a savings of 5 over buying the two products separately). The bundled tools can be bought electronically at Sun's Software Shop or Netscape's Software Depot.

Supported on Sun Solaris, and Windows 95 and NT, Java Studio also will be available by CD-ROM in the next few weeks, according to Sun officials.
