Productivity Bundle Enables Developers to Rapidly Prototype, Convert and Complete Software Projects
AUSTIN, Texas; July 1, 2003 - Metrowerks has joined forces with REAL Software, Inc. and
SolidWave Software, Inc. to create a bundled product that helps Macintosh©
developers boost productivity and speed time to market.
The offering, called the Productivity Bundle, includes REAL Software's
REALbasic 4.5 object-oriented rapid application development (RAD)
environment, SolidWave Software's RADicode 1.0 code converter, and
Metrowerks' CodeWarriorTM Development Studio, Mac© OS X Edition. The combined
offering makes it easy for developers to create high quality interface code,
and then to convert it into a CodeWarrior project built on Metrowerks'
PowerPlantTM object-oriented C++ application framework. The project is then
ready to leverage the CodeWarrior Development Studio, which is the
industry-standard development environment for commercial Mac OSTM
applications.
"This bundle essentially gives developers a head start in the creation of
Mac applications," said Greg Hemstreet, director of core and desktop
technologies, Metrowerks. "Developers can easily prototype their
applications, then convert them in a matter of minutes, allowing more time
for C++ coding and other important tasks."
Pricing and Availability
Metrowerks is offering the Productivity Bundle with special pricing of US
$299 for all three integrated products. The bundle is available for a
limited time online at http://www.metrowerks.com/4/productivity.
