Borland now offers educational editions of these products at special prices for colleges and universities to instruct students using best of breed development environments and to introduce cross-platform solutions to students before they enter the work force.
Delphi 6 and Kylix are RAD environments that allow users to quickly and easily build e-business applications for both the Windows and Linux operating environments (OE). JBuilder is a Java development environment that allows users to develop and deploy e-business applications on Windows, Linux and the Solaris OE, and offers fully integrated development support for Extensible Markup Language (XML).
Greater access to real-world environments is critical to the quality of students’ education, said Andrew Noymer, a graduate student at the University of California, Berkeley. Borland technology is giving our university the best tools at a reasonable price so students can be up and running with the most innovative technology on the market today.
