Knop is a web application framework for Lasso Professional, consisting of a number of core components implemented as custom types, and a defined application flow and folder structure.

How to get started

First of all you need Lasso Professional. Then:

• Download and install the "Knop demo package" (install at the minimum knop.lasso in Lasso Libraries)
• Download the "Knop paper" with examples.
• Read through the paper and play with the examples
• Play with and tear apart the demo solution
• Join the mailing list to get any questions cleared up - send email to knop-on@lists.montania.se
• Start building your own solutions

The most current version of knop.lasso can always be found in the SVN repository under the Source tab.

But... With all this said and done... I rarely use inlines for database interactions. Instead I prefer the framework Knop for the convenience of dealing with the entire chain. So once you are acquainted to inlines, check out Knop and enjoy the ease with how Knop helps you build forms, display results and interact with databases.
