Features
Cross-platform flexibility to develop for Windows, Mac and Linux
Embarcadero Prism supports the latest .NET 4.0 Framework and the Mono framework for creating applications for Windows, Linux and Mac OS X. You can install Embarcadero with a Visual Studio 2010 Shell based IDE, or as an add-in to Visual Studio 2010.
Feature rich language and compiler
Embarcadero Prism provides an easy-to-learn, advanced language for the Microsoft .NET and Mono frameworks. While staying true to its Delphi and Pascal roots, the modern Oxygene language helps developers move into the future by providing innovative language features not found in other .NET languages, such as Aspect Oriented Programming (AOP), generics, sequences, queries, and parallel computing.
Build applications using today's advanced technologies
With Embarcadero Prism, you get access to the latest development technologies and platforms available from Microsoft. This includes support for the latest Visual Studio 2010 release and support for Microsoft's .NET 4.0 Framework. Prism enables developers to harness the power of both tools and libraries to build applications fast, using an easy-to-learn language that can take advantage of the entire stack of technology. It includes design-time and runtime support for Windows Forms, ASP.NET, Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF), and more.
Access the multi-tier world of RAD Cloud
Cloud computing and multi-tier applications are not only all the rage, they're also a useful way to architect your applications for increased scalability and accessibility. Use Embarcadero Prism to create .NET and Windows Phone 7 clients that access your DataSnap servers. DataSnap server development and Mobile Connecter code generation for Windows Phone 7 require Delphi or C++Builder XE2 (sold separately). You can also get Delphi, C++Builder and Prism together in RAD Studio XE2.
