Borland Software Corp will increase its support for .NET with development tools the company believes will win corporate backing despite reduced IT spending, Gavin Clarke writes.
The Scotts Valley, California-based company is preparing an integrated development suite called Borland .NET Development Environment, as an alternative to Microsoft Corp's Visual Studio.NET.
Borland .NET Development Environment was announced at the company's developer conference, where it was code-named Galileo.
Borland said yesterday its IDE would expand the current level of support for .NET, provided in Delphi 7.0 Studio. The Delphi 7.0 Studio, launched in August, can compile elements of an application to Microsoft's Common Language Runtime (CLR).
