Special Upgrade Offer:
This special upgrade to C++Builder XE2 Professional, Enterprise, Architect or Ultimate edition is available to registered owners of XE-XE2 versions of C++Builder Starter.
Embarcadero C++Builder® XE2, now with FireMonkey™, is the only true visual C++ development environment - designed for ultra-fast, component-based creation of highly-maintainable, visually stunning GUI applications for Windows and Mac OS X. C++Builder’s fully visual two-way RAD IDE and thousands of available components speed and simplify building visually-rich and data-intensive end-user applications. C++Builder combines a powerful ANSI C++ tool chain with a rich and extensible visual framework for building lightning-fast native workstation, touch-screen, kiosk, multi-tier, Web and cloud applications. Use C++Builder with the FireMonkey platform to build 100% CPU and GPU native, visually engaging, cross-platform applications with 2D and 3D interfaces, effects, and animation.
C++Builder® XE2 Professional is designed for building high-performance PC, Mac, kiosk/touch-screen, and workstation GUI applications with or without embedded and local database persistence for Windows and Mac OS X. C++Builder’s powerful combination of ANSI C++, component-based development, and ultra-small and fast “single exe” application generation makes it especially well-suited for C++ developers needing to build and maintain “packaged” Windows and Mac GUI applications.
C++Builder® XE2 Enterprise is designed for C++ developers building data-rich client/server and multi-tier, cloud, GUI and Web applications that work seamlessly with a wide variety of database servers, services, and connectivity with most desktop, web, and mobile client platforms. C++Builder Enterprise’s high performance heterogeneous database server support is ideal for multi-vendor database server scenarios, or building turnkey applications that can work with a wide array of database servers.
C++Builder® XE2 Architect is designed for C++ developers and teams building data-intensive client/server, cloud, GUI and Web applications with large or complex enterprise database systems. C++Builder Architect combines data-driven rapid application development and heterogeneous high-speed data access with rich visual data modeling to help developers understand, design, and get the most value out of existing enterprise databases and data structures.
C++Builder® XE2 Ultimate is designed for software developers and teams building, managing, and tuning database-intensive applications with enterprise database systems. In addition to RAD application development, C++Builder Ultimate includes SQL development, database change management, SQL profiling, and SQL tuning tools with DB PowerStudio®.
