Embarcadero Technologies will preview its Delphi Prism .Net development product today at the 2008 Microsoft Professional Developers Conference (PDC) in Los Angeles. It features a managed code database engine that targets Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux.
Available later this year, Delphi Prism is expected to let developers use the Delphi Prism programming language to build Windows .Net applications, using Microsoft .Net 3.5 technologies such as Silverlight and ASP.Net. Featured in Delphi Prism is Oxygene, a Common Language Runtime compiler engine that supports CLR-based platforms such as .Net and the open-source Mono runtime.
Delphi Prism fuses Web, rich Internet application, and desktop .Net application development with a .Net database engine and ADO.Net connectivity, Embarcardero said.
