Delphi Prism | The Complete .NET Development Solution

Decrease development time with a complete solution for .NET. In this 3-minute video, Nick Hodges introduces you to Delphi Prism. Delphi Prism from Embarcadero provides everything a .NET developer needs, including a full IDE and powerful programming language (with features not available in other .NET programming languages), as well as design-time and runtime support for Windows Forms, ASP.NET, WPF, Parallel FX and LINQ.

"With the addition of Delphi Prism to RAD Studio, our dreams to develop on other platforms has come true. Now, we can deploy our client solutions using .NET, Mono platforms for Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, and more. Delphi Prism brings us a new level of development and opens up new frontiers"-Mauricio Buso, OneSolution Brasil

Server Based Licensing Webinar Invite

With the 2008 CodeGear acquisition, Embarcadero has upgraded its software licensing technology, and while this technology is new to many Embarcadero customers, it has been successfully used by millions of CodeGear customers since 2001. Recently, Embarcadero completed the transition of its products to this improved management system.

 

As a result of this transition, many of our customers have requested more information on how they will be affected by these changes.  To provide more details about the licensing technology we will be holding two one-hour live Webinars to provide an overview of the new license management system, discuss how you might be impacted, and demonstrate some of the new features and benefits available to you.  Also, during the Webinar you’ll have the opportunity to ask questions and discuss concerns with our product experts.

During this Webinar we will:

• Explain the changes in licensing
• Explain the new license options
• Walkthrough the license registration process
• Discussion Network Named & Concurrent license features/benefits
• Demonstrate the new  license management and reporting tools
• Provide an opportunity for you to ask questions
  

Dates and times for these webinars are as follows:
Wednesday, August 19th 2:00 PM ET (11:00 AM PT)
REGISTER

Wednesday, August 26th 2:00 PM ET (11:00 PM PT)

Profile Tune and Stress Test Your SQL

We took a step back after a recent demo of DB Optimizer, a SQL profiling and tuning IDE, to soak in what amazing work the development team has done building a powerful and easy to use SQL optimization tool over the course of the last ~2 years.

The fact that you can profile and tune SQL across the Oracle, SQL Server, DB2, and Sybase platforms all through a single user interface is quite compelling - and now with the latest version you can stress test your SQL code through the load editor feature. I've put together a 2 minute video that quickly moves through each of the major features:

Embarcadero DB Optimizer maximizes database and application performance by enabling DBAs and developers to quickly discover, diagnose, and optimize poor-performing SQL.

Embarcadero upgrading former Borland tools

Embarcadero later this month plans to update a suite of Windows  and .Net developer tools acquired when the company bought the former software development arm of Borland Software, adding capabilities for application gestures and Firebird database support.

The RAD Studio 2010 suite, to be launched on August 25, features upgrades to the Delphi, C++ and Delphi Prism tools. It provides "a complete Microsoft development environment for both native and .Net environments," said Mike Rozlog, senior director of Delphi solutions at Embarcadero, which acquired CodeGear in 2008 after it had been spun out of Borland in 2006.

on the Visual Studio Shell.  Delphi and C++ Builder are built on Embarcadero's own internal IDE framework.

Capabilities in the suite include native support for the Firebird open source database. "Firebird is one of the most used open source databases out there, like MySQL," Rozlag said.

Also offered is support for native gestures, including touch, multi-touch, and mouse-based gestures for Windows 2000, XP, and Vista.  Gesture capabilities, which provide a new way of interacting with a computer,  also are expected to work with the upcoming Windows 7 release.

The suite also is likely to support the Windows 7 API for native applications, enabling developers to leverage Natural Input Libraries and Direct2D graphics.

Among the IDE improvements in the suite is IDE Insight, enabling developers to more easily find files, components, features and settings. A new code formatter is featured for Delphi and C++. The DataSnap server  in the suite, offering a multi-tier development infrastructure for writing business logic, extends to rich Internet applications,  enterprise Java, REST and AIR (Adobe Integrated Runtime).

The suite is priced at $2,799 for the Enterprise edition for a new user. Products within the suite also will be available separately.

Sneak Peek: Embarcadero Technologies Previews RAD Studio 2010 Touch and Gesture Capabilities

Continued Innovation of Delphi Meets the Latest User Needs From Application Development

SAN FRANCISCO, CA--(Marketwire - August 11, 2009) - Embarcadero Technologies, a provider of database tools and developer software today, announced the second of three Embarcadero® RAD Studio 2010 sneak previews. The second sneak preview showcases how RAD Studio 2010 enables developers to build touch based GUI, tablet, touchpad and kiosk applications with a flexible touch enabled framework. New features include the ability to:

• Create gesture and touch enabled applications in just a few easy steps
• Get a quick start with more than 30 included gestures like left, right, up, down, scratch-out, and interactive multi-touch gestures like pan, zoom and rotate
• Use the VCL Gesture Designer to visually add your own custom gestures at the component level
• Use the virtual touch, multi-locale and multi-language keyboard for on- screen input
• Upgrade existing Delphi and C++Builder applications to add support for touch and gesture input with little or no additional coding

The touch development support in RAD Studio 2010 is unique in that it seamlessly supports multiple versions of Windows including Windows 2000, XP, Vista and Windows 7; and works with a variety of inputs including single and multi-touch screens, pen and mouse.

"Touch is now a reality and can deliver far more interactive user experiences. From kiosks and Point of Sale to the iPhone and Windows 7, enabling gestures into every application is becoming a key competitive advantage as consumers and businesses recognize the benefits of natural input," said Michael Swindell, vice president of products, Embarcadero Technologies. "With the upcoming launch of Delphi and C++Builder 2010, Embarcadero is providing a simple method for enabling touch and gestures in any application that can run on multiple Windows OSes. We are continuing to make Delphi the leading language and platform for interactive user focused applications."

The gesture enhancements will benefit users of Embarcadero® All-Access™ with the upcoming versions of Delphi and C++Builder. Embarcadero All-Access enables customers to select from one of four All-Access levels providing on-demand access to the entire Embarcadero tool chest.
