C plus plus builder

C++ Builder is a popular RAD (Rapid application development) environment produced by Borland (known for a time as Inprise) which uses a slightly modified version of the C++ language. It bears close resemblance to Delphi, as a result many consider it to be a C++ version of Delphi. C++Builder and Delphi components are inter-reusable as the vast number of components developed in Delphi can be used in C++Builder with no modification. The reverse is not true.

C++Builder is a subset of RAD tools that include true drag-and-drop visual development, making programming easier by incorporating a WYSIWYG GUI design interface into its IDE.

Other popular visual RAD tools include

• Visual Basic
• Delphi
• JBuilder
• C#Builder

C++Builder, originally targeted only the Microsoft Windows platform, now incorporates Borland CLX, a cross-platform development visual component library that supports Linux (through Kylix), and may well extend to support other platforms in the future.

The C++Builder product is distributed as various suites, appropriately named C++Builder Studio, each offering more or less functionality:

• Personal
• Professional
• Enterprise
• Mobile
