VCL for the web

February 20, 2007 | Filed by Marius under: web dev, desktop software, ajax, delphi

Finally, some action from the Delphi side, related mostly to Vista and the Web.
CodeGear (ex-Borland Developer Tools Group) announces today their new products for 2007:

But the most exiting news is burried in the press release. First:

Delphi for Win32 enables development of Vista supported applications
from the familiar Win32 environment, easy creation of web applications
that support AJAX, and streamlined enterprise database connectivity.

Then:

New
VCL for the Web lets you quickly and visually build interactive and
responsive web pages and applications that support AJAX techniques. VCL
for the Web embeds the low level technologies in visual objects so you
don’t need to know HTML, JavaScript, CSS, or HTTP, abstracting you from
such details so you can focus directly on code and user interface.

And it continues on the Delphi for PHP page:

The powerful
PHP editor and debugger increase coding speed and efficiency, while the
integrated VCL for PHP 5 component class library lets you quickly and
visually create PHP web applications and integrate PHP open source
components.

The old/new Delphi VCL (Visual Components Library) for desktop applications (from Delphi, Kylix, C++Builder), now arrives to the web development world (from Delphi, PHP and maybe Ruby?).

Now that is NEWS! If it really works, this could be really big.
