Borland to Bring Back Turbo Development Tools
Borland Software has announced that it is reviving its Turbo-branded development tools of the ’80s as it plans to release single language versions of Borland Developer Studio, the company’s development environment for Microsoft Windows and .NET applications.
Bringing back the Turbo moniker, the new Borland Turbo products offer low-cost, language-specific rapid application development capabilities for students, hobbyist developers, occupational developers as well as individual professionals.
"The brand is classic, but the technologies and capabilities in the new Turbo editions are leading edge," said Michael Swindell, senior director of product management for the Borland Developer Tools Group.
The Turbo product set includes Turbo Delphi for Win32, Turbo Delphi for .NET, Turbo C++® and Turbo C#®. Each version will be available in two editions: Turbo Explorer, a free downloadable version, and Turbo Professional, a version priced less than USD 500 which is designed to accept thousands of available third-party tools, components and plug-ins. All Turbo editions enable developers to rapidly build high performance GUI, Database, Web, and Web Services applications for Microsoft Windows. Turbo Delphi for .NET and Turbo C# support the Microsoft .NET and ASP.NET platforms. More information is available at www.turboexplorer.com.
"Even a development novice, who hasn’t written a line of code, will find the Turbo editions extremely easy to use," said David Intersimone, vice president of developer relations and chief evangelist at Borland.
Introduced in 1983, Turbo Pascal was one of the industry's first commercial PC development environments.
