PrintDat! now supports Delphi XE2

I received the following email from Barry McClure of Grebar Systems Inc telling me that PrintDat! now supports Delphi XE2 for 32 and 64 bit Windows.

"As of April 1st, we started shipping PrintDAT! v1.60 which works with Delphi XE2 32-bit and 64-bit (VCL). Our PrintDAT! component now has Unicode output which supports over 40 different languages in a single report. PrintDAT! is a report component that can create ad-hoc reports from grids, tables or queries in just one second. Drop a TpdtPrintDAT component onto a form with a grid or table and you’ve got yourself a report. It is the fastest report designer on the planet, bar none!"

PrintDat! supports Delphi versions 3 to XE2.  You’ll find all of the details at http://www.grebarsys.com/html/printdat_features.html.

Thanks for the update, Barry, and thank you for supporting our customers.

Webinars this Wednesday - Use your Windows C++ and Delphi Programming Skills to Create Mac Applications

Have you noticed an increased presence of Mac in the workplace in the last few years? Forrester says that almost half of enterprises (with 1,000 employees or more) are issuing Macs to employees – and they plan a 52% increase in the number of Macs they issue in 2012.  How can you reach this growing market if you’re a Windows software developer?

This Wednesday, I will show you how to create Mac applications using your Windows development skills to create a Windows and Mac application from a single codebase in Delphi, C++Builder and RAD Studio XE2. There will be three webinars during the day. I hope you will be able to attend one of them and see how you can use your programming skills to build visually stunning business applications.

Date: Wednesday, March 21, 2012

Times:

6:00am PDT / 9:00am EDT / 2:00pm CET / 1300 GMT
11:00am PDT / 2:00pm EDT / 1800 GMT
5:00pm PDT / March 22 11:00am Australian EDT

Register for the webinars at http://forms.embarcadero.com/forms/AMUSCA1203RADWinMacWebinar3-21
