The LPS is targeted at developers, but it is really easy to get started. The best thing for you to do is to try the first tutorial, and see how it goes:

http://www.laszlosystems.com/developers/learn/documentation/tutorials/laszlo_basics.php

If you don't want to install the LPS, then you can use the LzViewer:

http://www.laszlosystems.com/lps-v1/examples/animation.lzx?lzt=filter&filter=/LZViewer

... basically this is a way to edit Laszlo apps "remotely". You write your code in the HTML form, click update, and your app gets complied on the fly, and launched in a new window. Bear in mind of course that if you continue through the tutorials, you won't be able to use any art assets, as you don't have access to the server when you're using LzViewer.

If you then decide you want to go further, download and install the LPS locally. The standard installation includes Tomcat, and is a one-click install.


what does it mean that the de version can serve only two users?


The Developer Edition (i.e. the free one you can download) will only accept requests from the computer you're working on (i.e. the server) and one other computer. It's designed so that you can develop apps on your own computer. Then when you're ready to deploy them you purchase (mailto:sales@laszlosystems.com) a deployment license that supports lots of users.

Take care and good luck!
