Embarcadero RAD Studio XE3 17.0.4625 incl.

Embarcadero Technologies announced a suite of major new releases empowering developers to rapidly build, migrate, and maintain single code base native applications for Windows 8. Embarcadero’s new developer tools, Delphi XE3, C++Builder XE3, and RAD Studio XE3, help enterprises support the rapidly growing heterogeneous client environment.

Embarcadero’s new tools create an opportunity for ISVs to sell to new users in a growing market as well as being more competitive in the Windows packaged software space. Delphi XE3 and C++Builder XE3, both included in RAD Studio XE3, enable developers to build native PC and Slate/Surface Pro tablet applications with the Windows 8 UI style widely known as “Metro”.

- Fastest Path to Windows
The new “Metropolis UI” toolset enables developers to easily build new applications or migrate existing applications to the Windows 8 UI style with integrated support for touch, Live Tiles, and tablet device sensors. The tools enable easy migration of legacy Windows apps and applications with the new Windows 8 UI style that can be deployed across Windows versions from XP to Windows 8, including x86 based Surface Pro and Slate tablets.
- Multiple Platforms From a Single Codebase
The new FireMonkey FM2, included in Delphi and C++Builder, enables development teams to visually design and develop user interfaces with powerful 3D graphics and animation, then compile and deploy to multiple versions of Windows. The new FM2 UI engine delivers a choice of “pixel perfect” native OS UIs or fully custom UIs developed by graphic designers or 3rd parties.
- Visually Connect to Any Data
New Visual LiveBindings enables developers to visually connect user interfaces and graphic elements to any data source by simply drawing connections between data and the UI. Visual Live Bindings makes it easy to design data-driven UI rich applications with dynamic content, eliminating the complex coding of data bindings and connections. Delphi and C++Builder are available with high performance embedded, client/server, n-tier and cloud connectivity to major RDBMSs including Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle, IBM DB2, InterBase, Sybase, MySQL and more, as well as web, REST, and cloud services.
- Delphi, C++Builder, and RAD Studio
Delphi enables developers to rapidly develop prototypes to high performance native applications for Windows, delivering rich user experiences with powerful data connectivity. Delphi is a developer “force multiplier,” increasing developer and team productivity by up to five times.
C++Builder is a rapid C/C++ development solution that enables Delphi-like productivity, with standards based C/C++ coding for both Windows. Time consuming and repetitive code such as UI and data access are encapsulated into visual components, so developers can focus on coding the business value in standards based C/C++ leveraging existing ANSI/ISO C/C++ source code and libraries.
RAD Studio is a completely integrated development solution for Windows, mobile, and Web. RAD Studio includes Delphi, C++Builder, InterBase and new HTML5 Builder. HTML5 Builder (See separate release) is the only tool that enables visual development of web and end-to-end mobile apps (iOS, Android, BlackBerry, and Windows Phone) from a common HTML5/CSS3/javascript codebase.
