Hello developers, I am really happy this year about the new version of RAD Studio 12, it has been released with a big impact of a lot of enhancements and quality improvements in C++ Builder 12 and Delphi 12. After this release, Embarcadero has restored the ability of the 12.0 GetIt server to install additional packages from the RAD Studio 12 Athens IDE via the GetIt package manager. New patches and updates for the C++ Builder 12 and Delphi 12 are coming too.
This month, the Embarcadero Team and Delphi Developers are Celebrating Delphi’s 29th year. 29 years is really much for a programming language and RAD Studio, Delphi, and C++ Builder enhance themselves with a lot of improvements by the release of core versions, update versions, and patches every year. A full replay of the special anniversary webinar is here below.

How to use modern data containers with C++ Builder 12?
Our educational LearnCPlusPlus.org site has a broad selection of new and unique posts with examples suitable for everyone from beginners to professionals alike. It is growing well thanks to you, and we have many new readers, thanks to your support! The site features a treasure-trove of posts that are great for learning the features of modern C++ compilers with very simple explanations and examples.
This week, we have 3 post picks about modern containers. Modern C++ is very powerful with many great features to help you write programs more easily with safer template class objects that have faster algorithms and methods. A container is a holder object that stores data elements (a collection of data objects). std::vector, std::array, and std::map are these kinds of containers. In these posts, we explain container types in general and we explain what std::list is, what std::forward_list is, what std::multimap is, and how you can use it with multiple keys.
In addition, we should note that;
- GetIt Packages for RAD Studio 12 Available Now
- 12.0 Patch 1 is Also Available
- Upcoming Inline Installer
Where I can I learn C++ to test these examples with a free C++ compiler?
If you don’t know anything about C++ or the C++ Builder IDE, don’t worry, we have a lot of great, easy to understand examples on the LearnCPlusPlus.org website and they’re all completely free. Just visit this site and copy and paste any examples there into a new Console, VCL, or FMX project, depending on the type of post. We keep adding more C and C++ posts with sample code. In today’s round-up of recent posts on LearnCPlusPlus.org, we have new articles with very simple examples that can be used with:
- The free version of C++ Builder 11 CE Community Edition
- or a professional version of C++ Builder
- or free BCC32C C++ Compiler and BCC32X C++ Compiler
- or the free Dev-C++
What are the posts about modern C++ data containers with C++ Builder?
Modern C++ is very powerful with many great features to help you write programs more easily with safer template class objects that have faster algorithms and methods. In C++, Containers are the powerful data storage arrays in modern C++ and they are very useful for iterating and searching data with their amazing methods, algorithms, and properties. A container is a holder object that stores data elements (a collection of data objects). std::vector, std::array, std::map are these kinds of containers. There is another useful container, in the first post, we explain what std::list is.
In addition to std::list, there is another useful container std::forward_list. The forward_list (std::forward_list) is a sequence container class template defined in <forward_list> header that supports forward iterations, and faster insert and delete operations. In the next post, we explain what std::forward_list is.
The multimap container (std::multimap)is an associative container class template defined in <map> header that contains a sorted list of key-value pairs where keys can be same values. In the last post, we explain what std::multimap is and how you can use it with multiple keys.
How to learn modern C++ for free using C++ Builder?
LearnCPlusPlus.org has been producing full of educational articles about C and modern C++ that can be used with C++ Builder, C++ Builder CE, Dev-C++, BCC Compiler and some other compilers such as the GCC compiler. Here are our post picks for today.
We like to hear your feedback. You motivate us so much with your likes and comments on social media (find us on Facebook, LinkedIn, Reddit, Twitter / X and all over) and here on the blogs too. Thank you for your valuable comments and questions. All of them help improve the quality of our future posts.
We have a lot of unique posts waiting to come. We keep adding new topics every week about C++ in general and specific topics for C++ Builder, Dev-C++, and for the other C++ compilers.

Feel free to comment and share with your colleagues, students, members – knowledge is power, and knowledge shared is empowering.
Do you want to know some news about C++ Builder 12?
RAD Studio 12 focused on many quality and stability improvements for both Delphi and C++ as well as the whole IDE. However, it also contains a number of really great improvements specifically for C++ developers including a new preview of the CLANG toolchain and the totally awesome integration of the popular Visual Assist functionality. Here are every new and enhanced feature of RAD Studio 12, C++ Builder 12 and Delphi 12.
C++ Builder is the easiest and fastest C and C++ IDE for building everything from simple to professional applications. It is also easy for beginners to learn with its wide range of samples, tutorials, help files, and LSP support.
There is a free C++ Builder Community Edition for students, beginners, and startups; it can be downloaded from here. For professional developers, there are Professional, Architect, or Enterprise versions of C++ Builder and there is a trial version you can download from here.
