In the second of a three-part series, we are looking at the family of brands to which Embarcadero belongs. The first and third articles in the series are also available.
As a RAD Studio, Delphi, C++Builder and InterBase user you’re likely aware that Embarcadero is a subsidiary of the Idera Corporation. The Idera Corporation also owns a number of other brands that fall into three broad groups – data tools, dev tools, and devops tools.
Many of these brands have offerings that represent value for customers across the Idera family. If you also work with languages beyond Delphi and C++, such as JavaScript for example, you’ll find many offerings that will be of interest.
Besides Embarcadero, the Idera family of brands representing developer tools include Sencha, APILayer, Froala, Whole Tomato, UltraEdit, Lansa, FusionCharts, FileStack, and Yellowfin.
