Dev Direct launches 6 new developer tool directories

Berkshire, UK (8th February, 2005) - Dev Direct, the world's leading authority on products for software developers, today announces the launch of 6 new directories of developer tools for .Net, ASP.Net, Java, ActiveX, C/C++ and Delphi. The new sites provide a powerful resource to help software developers to locate tools and components with greater speed and accuracy than ever before.

Dev Direct provides the world's largest specialist directory of developer tools and software components with over 4000 products from 800+ publishers. The new sites will continue to promote Dev Direct's proven approach of helping developers to find the tools that they need and guiding them directly to the publishers' web sites, this being the best way for customers to understand the products that they are buying as well as learning about the publisher and their support capabilities.

"Since our launch, two years ago, we have grown quickly and with the sheer volume of product that we are now listing, platform specific content filtering was something that both our publishers and end-users were asking us to provide." said Jim Parsons, Managing Director.

Richard Sloggett, CEO of Innovasys added "We believe that Dev Direct is already a great service for software developers that use tools and components and these new sites will make it an even more valuable resource. This is exactly the sort of service that publishers selling direct via the web need, and we're looking forward to continuing to promote our products and develop awareness of our brand through Dev Direct."

The new platform-specific directories can be found at aspnet.devdirect.com, dotnet.devdirect.com, java.devdirect.com, activex.devdirect.com, delphi.devdirect.com, and c.devdirect.com
