What's H2O?
H2O is programming made for the web.

What's it like?
H2O is English-like. If you know some Perl, VB, ASP, or PhP you'll be immediately productive in H2O. It runs on Linux, Mac, Unix, and Windows.

How do I try it?
Download H2O for free. Get it from hosting providers. Or buy on-line.

Where does H2O come from?
The language was invented by Aestiva. H2O stands for:
   HTML with
   HTML/OS
   Overlays.

Installing H2O on the Windows Desktop

The H2O install file for the Windows desktop is a "self-extracting" zip file named
"h2o-msdesktop[version].exe". To install H2O for a Windows desktop download this file to the Windows computer and run it. When it runs, it asks you to select the install drive and directory. The install directory must be "\h2o". The drive is usually C:, but if you have another drive where you want to install H2O, you can change the drive letter. For example, to install H2O on the D: drive, use "D:\h2o".

When the program is finished being extracted, an H2O shortcut is created on your Windows desktop. H2O itself is also launched for the first time.

After you have run "h2o-msdesktop[version].exe" to extract the files once, always use the H2O shortcut on your Windows desktop to run H2O. If the shortcut is lost, you can go to the \h2o folder and run "h2o.exe".

WARNING: Do not extract the files again. This will overwrite your files.

See "Upgrading Your H2O Engine" to upgrade your copy of H2O to a newer version.
