Borland C++Builder 4 puts the IT into Mission CrITical

C++ is the language of choice for building mission-critical applications. With Borland C++Builder 4, developers retain the strength of C++ and gain the benefits of true visual application development. In fact, as projects get larger or more complex, applications built in Borland C++Builder 4 are more likely to succeed. This is because:

• Borland C++Builder 4 significantly reduces the complexity of developing applications. Developers can assemble applications from high-level components, but sub-class or kick down whenever necessary to optimize control or performance.
• Borland C++Builder 4 includes full support for evolving technologies. While most C++ tools can claim support for just about anything because all new technologies ship with a C or C++ API, only Borland C++Builder 4 delivers full RAD and advanced debugging support for COM and CORBA.
• Borland C++Builder 4 is built for team cooperation. The built-in PVCS source control, advanced project manager, code explorer, AppBrowser, and CodeInsight all work together to ensure that team members know the development status of a particular module and how the project pieces together. CodeInsights and Wizards can even comment code to make it easier to read and review!

Borland C++Builder 4 is capable of handling all types of projects, from small utilities through to large mission- critical projects.

Borland C++Builder 4 moves with you from Windows to radically simplify COM, CORBA, and Web application development.

The Borland C++Builder 4 tools you use today to develop desktop and two-tier client/server applications are the same tools you will use to develop advanced enterprise and Internet applications. Borland C++Builder 4 unique Enterprise Data architecture means that as your applications become more successful they can manage the increase in demand for more users and more data.

Use the same Borland C++Builder 4 skills for developing to multiple standards

• Borland C++Builder 4 includes full support for both COM and CORBA. Borland C++Builder 4 components can easily be deployed in either a COM or CORBA environment with the aid of Borland C++Builder 4 sophisticated wizards.
• Borland C++Builder 4 applications can take full advantage of transaction servers such as the Microsoft Transaction Server (MTS) and the X/Open distributed XA architecture. Applications remain secure, robust, and fault-tolerant.
• The Borland C++Builder 4 MIDAS application server makes it easy for developers to move their application logic into a multi-tier environment. It also helps to manage high-speed connections to legacy databases and systems

Applications developed using Borland C++Builder 4 have the future built in.

Borland C++Builder 4 is the tool for developing Internet-enabled C++ applications

Borland C++Builder 4 developers can also use their same tools and skills to deliver powerful interactive Internet- and Web-based applications.

• Borland C++Builder 4 includes over 17 drop-in components for eliminating the complexities of Sockets, UDP, TCP, SMTP, POP3, NNTP, HTTP, FTP, and HTML.
• Borland C++Builder 4 includes WebBroker technology that is platform-neutral and supports both NSAPI and ISAPI, so developers can support both server standards without writing any extra code.
• Any Borland C++Builder 4 for can be deployed as an Active/X or COM component. This combined with the Borland C++Builder 4 plug-in remote DataBroker makes it the best solution for developing intranet applications.

Borland C++Builder 4 is the best tool for developing C++ Internet applications.

Borland C++Builder 4: a part of the fully open INPRISE solution

We believe that when you use an Inprise tool, it should open opportunities for you:

• We do not tie you to a specific platform; instead, we do everything we can to insulate you from changes in standards and industries. We do this by partnering with all major industry players (such as Microsoft, Sun, Oracle, and Netscape) and by supporting multiple standards (such as COM and CORBA, ISAPI, and NSAPI, among others).
• If you need to use or work with another language, we ensure that your skills, code, and data are transferable. Borland C++Builder 4 is directly compatible with Delphi and Borland JBuilder. Not only are the user interfaces familiar, but the products work together closely at a data and component level. If you know one tool, you know them all.
• We keep you current with support for the latest operating system features, component models, application servers, SQL databases, and transaction servers. If you wish, we can provide you with a fully integrated solution. The benefits of one-stop support: development tools (Borland C++Builder 4, Delphi, and JBuilder™); Application Servers (Entera™ and Inprise MIDAS™); Database Server (InterBase) and CORBA support (VisiBroker™).

Your copy of Borland C++Builder 4 is your passport to the full Inprise technology and service solution.

Summary

Borland C++Builder 4 is the tool of choice for today's C++ developer. With the power of the latest ANSI/ISO C++ standards, a high-performance compiler, and true visual development tools, Borland C++Builder 4 developers complete better applications in a much shorter time than with other tools:

• With Borland C++Builder 4, developers are more productive. They can develop Windows applications even faster than Visual Basic developers, without giving up the power, performance, and quality of C++.
• Windows, BackOffice, and data-intensive applications built with Borland C++Builder 4 are better. They run faster, have fewer bugs, and have better user interfaces.
• Borland C++Builder 4 developers can make immediate use of existing C and C++ code from Borland C++, Visual C++, or other tools.
• Borland C++Builder 4 unites industry standards and keeps developers ahead of the game by providing them with everything they need to radically simplify development for Web, Distributed Systems, COM, and CORBA.

New features in Borland C++Builder 4 enhance the tool further:

• Enhanced ANSI/ISO C++ with new templates and dynamic arrays, for rapidly developing more robust applications.
• An efficient Visual user interface with breakthrough AppBrowser, ClassExplorer, Advanced Project Manager, CodeInsights, and Actions lists.
• Full Windows 98 and NT Services support, including a new ControlBar component and Docking and Intellimouse support.
• Native support for Oracle8 and Access 97 has been added to the already extensive list of database capabilities, as well as a host of new database components.
• Enhanced COM and CORBA support.
• Extensive improvements and enhancements to the existing tools and features.
