Borland's merger announcement with Segue Software on February 8th included
the news that Borland plans to exit the tools business. David Intersimone, VP of developer relations and
chief evangelist, and Rob Cheng, director of products, discussed what this announcement means for developers
with ADT's senior editor, Kathleen Richards.
Software developers using Borland's soon-to-be dumped integrated development
environments (IDEs) are being sized up by the competition. Sun Microsystems and REAL Software are working
separately to persuade JBuilder and Delphi developers to switch to their application development tools.
In this animated presentation, David Intersimone provides an overview of
some of the new features of Borland Developer Studio 2006, also known as Delphi 2006, C++Builder 2006,
and C#Builder 2006.
So, Borland is selling its IDE business and buying Segue, a well-respected
"quality optimisation" and software testing company (as well as a currently trendy verb: segue: \SEG-way;
SAYG-way\, intransitive verb 1. To proceed without interruption; to make a smooth transition). I wonder
how smooth this segue will be?
This article shows how easy report writing is with an ECO application, given
suitable tools. It also demonstrates using derived attributes and OCLColumns in an application and adding
ECO support to an existing unit.
Given Borland's announcement of its intent to exit the development tools business,
REAL Software announced today that all Borland Delphi users can receive a free license for REALbasic 2006 for
Windows Standard Edition through February 28th 2006.
Borland's plan to abandon the development tool business to focus on its
application life-cycle management (ALM) products found support among some users that are looking to manage
software development as a process.
Listen to the replay of the chat Developer Relations had with our technology
partners regarding the future of our Developer tools. It's a great source to dispell myths and rumors.
Anyone hoping Borland's decision to exit the IDE game will meet the same fate
as its plan (subsequently dumped) to re-invent itself as Inprise in 1998 is likely to be sorely disappointed.
Borland is flogging its JBuilder, Delphi, C++ and C# business while buying
Segue Software, in a strategy to reverse corporate losses by focusing on software performance instead of
development.
