12.8 Simplifying Web Application Deployments with Unleash It
Built by a developer for developers (with the primary audience being small team development groups and hobbyist developers), Unleash It focuses on taking the stress out of web application deployments. It offers an easy-to-use user interface, a command-line utility, and a Visual Studio 2003 add-in, and it provides the ability to deploy web applications to file paths, FTP, and .zip files. While it was originally developed for ASP.NET developers, Unleash It is highly extensible, and the ability to supply user-defined file masks makes it attractive for all types of users.
