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:
“To write it, it took three months; to conceive it three minutes; to collect the data in it—all my life.”
—F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)
“It is the child in man that is the source of his uniqueness and creativeness, and the playground is the optimal milieu for the unfolding of his capacities and talents.”
—Eric Hoffer (1902–1983)
“When truth is nothing but the truth, it’s unnatural, it’s an abstraction that resembles nothing in the real world. In nature there are always so many other irrelevant things mixed up with the essential truth. That’s why art moves you—precisely because it’s unadulterated with all the irrelevancies of real life.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
