Description
Borland's Sidewinder-C# Builder-tool will be released in mid-summer 2003. Prior to the release of C#Builder, Microsoft's Visual Studio tools was the only products available for commercial C# development in a visual IDE. Borland's announcement that they have licensed the .NET Framework-as Microsoft's first commercial licensee-was welcomed by the millions of developers who need to move to .NET but who love Borland's excellent Delphi, JBuilder, and C++ Builder tools.C#Builder Kick Start will provide a rapid overview of the C#Builder tool, a Borland developer's introduction to C# explaining the new forms and interfaces, and a set of examples illustrating the power of C#, C#Builder, and .NET development. Special attention will be paid to differences between existing Borland tools and development strategies and C#Builder, as the initial target audience for this product will be Borland developers.
