Monday, 2001/07/23 - RAD Product Addresses
Monday features the Product Addresses and Meet-the-Team sessions. The RAD
Product Address (of Delphi, C++Builder and Kylix) was done in a single session
(thank you Borland!), on Monday from 8:00-9:15. It started with an overview of
Delphi 6, then went on with Kylix and C++Builder 5.
We also saw a little preview of C++Builder 6 by JT Thomas. One of the best
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
things is that Code Insight has improved significantly (it's almost as fast as
Delphi now). Also, C++Builder 6 will of course contain all the Snaps (DataSnap,
WebSnap and BizSnap) as well as CLX support. I've heard the name " C++Builder
for Linux" (instead of "Kylix C++ Edition"), but I'm not sure what the official
name for that particular edition will be. They are however working on
C++Builder 6 for Windows as well as a Linux version, that much is certain(他们在同时致力于C++Builder 6 for Windows以及Linux版, 这一点是肯定的). The
C++Builder 6 IDE preview that was shown contained some toolbar stuff (to
integrate external tools in the IDE). JT also showed some HTML editor code
completion which was very nice (I bet that will also be used in some of the
other Borland RAD tools like Delphi and Kylix).
Personally, I would expect C++Builder 6 to be released around the end of this
year, but we have to wait and see(我本人预计C++Builder会在今年年尾左右发行,不过
还得走着瞧). It's good to see that it won't just be a
catch-up game with Delphi 6; it's more like a leapfrog again!
