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)
“Being the dependents of the general government, and looking to its treasury as the source of all their emoluments, the state officers, under whatever names they might pass and by whatever forms their duties might be prescribed, would in effect be the mere stipendiaries and instruments of the central power.”
—Andrew Jackson (1767–1845)
“Before abstraction everything is one, but one like chaos; after abstraction everything is united again, but this union is a free binding of autonomous, self-determined beings. Out of a mob a society has developed, chaos has been transformed into a manifold world.”
—Novalis [Friedrich Von Hardenberg] (1772–1801)
