Resolver One

A Spreadsheet Powered by Python

You may not even realize it, but your typical spreadsheet application is actually a very small fishbowl. Sure, you're sitting there in your little plastic castle, happily inputting your data into rows and columns, but if you ever wanted to really break out of the box and perform hardcore data manipulation and calculation, you're going to bump into a wall faster than you might think.

Resolver One is a brilliant application that combines the power of the Python programming language with the ease and simplicity of a spreadsheet. You start using Resolver One as you would any other spreadsheet application, quickly realizing that, as you implement your formulae within each cell, Resolver One is dynamically generating Python code that gives you the results you need. You can study the Python code and tweak it to make it do what you need it to do - something that plain vanilla spreadsheets simply can't do. Even better, you can work with the Python code that Resolver One produces, or you can import your own external Python components. The more you work with Resolver One, the more you'll learn about Python.

Before you know it, you'll be using Resolver One to not only manipulate your traditional spreadsheet values of numbers, text, and dates, but also .NET types, decimals, and complex numbers. Consult third party Python and .NET component libraries, and plug them directly into your formulae to perform cunning feats of calculation that put Excel spreadsheets to shame. Craft worksheets that behave like databases. Conjure reusable spreadsheets that can be run on demand. You can even call into your spreadsheets from standalone executable Python programs!

Take your first step into a larger world. Import your existing Microsoft Excel spreadsheets into Resolver One, and start unleashing the true power of Python!

Please note: Today's promotion also includes the option to buy The Resolver One Web Server! The Resolver One Web Server allows you to turn your spreadsheets into web applications with just a few clicks. It's easy to install, and doesn't interfere with other server software running on your system. You can run it on your own machine, or install it on any Windows-based server.

Using it is simple: just specify which of the cells in your spreadsheet should be editable online, then use the built-in web server to publish the saved spreadsheet! Other people can use their web browsers to view their own copies of the sheet without needing to run it on their own machines.

Want to update the sheet? Just change it in one place and everyone gets the latest version the next time they hit the "Refresh" button. Also, you don't have to worry about users accidentally overwriting data - interactions happen in a sandboxed environment. Users can only change web-editable cells, and they can't change the original document in any way.
