Data Source Abstraction
The Lasso language provides the ability to create dynamic web sites or applications with data source abstraction. The language allows programming in such a manner as to be independent of coding for a specific data source. This lets files, sites and applications created with the language be ported from data source to data source with minimal or no changes. This level of abstraction is achieved by the language being interpreted.
Data sources are configured within the Lasso administration system, setting permissions, connection parameters and other relevant settings. Aliases can be set for data sources, which allows for the abstraction.

Famous quotes containing the words data, source and/or abstraction:
“Mental health data from the 1950’s on middle-aged women showed them to be a particularly distressed group, vulnerable to depression and feelings of uselessness. This isn’t surprising. If society tells you that your main role is to be attractive to men and you are getting crow’s feet, and to be a mother to children and yours are leaving home, no wonder you are distressed.”
—Grace Baruch (20th century)
“Life has no other discipline to impose, if we would but realize it, than to accept life unquestioningly. Everything we shut our eyes to, everything we run away from, everything we deny, denigrate or despise, serves to defeat us in the end. What seems nasty, painful, evil, can become a source of beauty, joy and strength, if faced with an open mind. Every moment is a golden one for him who has the vision to recognize it as such.”
—Henry Miller (1891–1980)
“New York ... is a city of geometric heights, a petrified desert of grids and lattices, an inferno of greenish abstraction under a flat sky, a real Metropolis from which man is absent by his very accumulation.”
—Roland Barthes (1915–1980)
