AUSTIN, TX (PRWEB) December 17, 2004 -- REAL Software announced today a special offer for Visual Basic developers -- treat yourself to a new programming tool this holiday season and save 50%.

Instant Productivity, Easy Conversion for Visual Basic Developers

REALbasic's powerful object-oriented development environment is similar in language and interface to Visual Basic. Visual Basic developers quickly discover that they are very productive in REALbasic. In addition, REALbasic comes with a conversion utility that does the "heavy lifting" to migrate existing Visual Basic applications to REALbasic.

Support Many Versions of Windows, Easy Deployment

Once Visual Basic applications are converted to REALbasic, they can be compiled for Windows 98, NT, Me, 2000 and XP. In addition, REALbasic creates self-contained executables, so applications created with REALbasic do not require DLLs or installed frameworks. This makes software made with REALbasic easier to deploy and support than software made with Visual Basic.

Full Cross-Platform Support for Windows, Mac and Linux

REALbasic Professional Edition compiles for Windows 98, NT, Me, 2000 and XP, Macintosh and even Linux. Unlike other cross-platform development environments, REALbasic creates native compiled applications that do not require installed frameworks, runtime engines or virtual machines. Cross-platform development has never been easier.

Special Offer for Limited Time Only
