BORLAND

Rick Carter, leader of CPCUG’s Paradox Delphi Special Interest Group, will present Borland

Software’s new Turbo products.

In September 2006, the Developer Tools Group of Borland Software announced the

availability of its new line of Turbo products, offering low-cost, rapid application development

capabilities for students, hobbyist developers, occupational developers and individual

professionals. Turbo Delphi for Win32, Turbo Delphi for .NET, Turbo C++ and Turbo C#

are single language versions of Borland Developer Studio, a development environment for

Microsoft Windows and .NET applications.

The Turbo products combine easy learning with significant productivity gains, providing a

fun and accessible environment for developers to rapidly build high performance GUI,

Database, Web, and Web Services applications for Microsoft Windows. Turbo Delphi for

.NET and Turbo C# also support the Microsoft .NET and ASP.NET platforms.

Each Turbo product is available in two editions:

· Turbo Explorer editions, available as a free download, are fixed, all-in-one solutions that

let programmers learn and develop in a single language and platform environment.

· Turbo Professional editions, priced at US$399, are extensible and customizable with over

200 pre-built drag-and-drop components. They are also designed to accept any of thousands

of compatible third-party tools, components and plug-ins.
