The development of Linux development tools will have to drive enterprise-level applications for Linux software.
[Internet Weekly Message] The theme of the Linuxworld China 2001 conference has taken a step in Linux development, service and management operations, and also highlights Linux development tools to gradually develop the Dangu development in the future. Mr. Lin Feng, General Manager of Borland Software, China, said: "The development of Linux requires software driving, and development tools will drive software applications." Borland Software has been working on Linux, application, service and management operations. work. Last year, Borland officially launched the first product of the Kylix program, thus enabled developers with visual rapid development tools on the Linux platform. Later, Kylix - Borland was also launched a well-known development tool Delphi's Linux version. The application on Linux becomes rich due to the Kylix plan.
Kylix combines the best compiler technology of Borland software with efficient visual design environments, and develops GUI, Web procedures, and database programs, which are the only development tools that have the above advantages on the Linux platform. Kylix provides a rich library that is comparable to the Windows development environment in user interface, database, web, and network function. Kylix also helps programmers to easily convert those programs on Windows to Linux. In the industry, experts' evaluation, with the release of Kylix, the Linux program development environment will be greatly improved. It completely changed the IDE environment that left a large number of monotonous work to users to manually completed. In addition, Borland Software In June this year, Borland's new version of the Windows Fast Application Development (RAD) environment in Beijing, Delphi 6, as the first RAD tool for developers to easily use and create industry standard Web Services. Delphi 6 users can build a single source application for Windows and Linux when they work with the Borland Kylix environment, which further brings new opportunities while improving the potential return of development investment. Developers Developed for Windows can easily use Borland Kylix to transplant to the Linux system, the same truth, the application developed with Kylix can be easily ported under Windows. Linux has become a new market growth point, this business opportunity is not willing to let go of any manufacturer. In the domestic market, the government has announced that Linux is used as a standard operating system and provides loose external environments for Linux vendors. Borland is undoubtedly a chance. Since Borland is the only software company that launches Linux native application development tools, China is likely to become a potential market in Borland.
