What do you like best about C++Builder?

C++ Builder is an excellent complier , it's ability to complile programs is remarkable. It makes the building of complex business application very easily. I build a wide range of application for native use using the builder. It makes building commercial applications very easily and assures that thes applications are secure from competitors. The most helpful part about this complier is that its an open source for windows. You can use many languages as you want. it has a wide range of libraires , this makes life so easy. The UI interface is just amazing , this has helped me build the most amazing designs ever for my clients

One of the benefits of using this complier , is the ability to run applications on many interfaces like Windows,IOS,Andriod; this makes the life of a software developer so easy not having to learn several programming languages for different consumers saving massive time and increasing the reach and popularity of the product in the market hence making more money. It also takes lesser time and less memory usuage in the computer.The complier helps scale massive complex products in themarket faster.Making it very unique and different from other C++ compliers. The user interface is usuable require your a professional or your used to the C++ language. The builder also gives you the ability to connect over 20 datbases like MariaDB,Oracle and so on.The framework is completely optimised for high performing native applications . It's the best i used so far. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about C++Builder?

The least helpful aboutthe C++ Builder is the interface , it combasome,not user friendly . There are so many options and functions on the plateform that maybe difficult to understand for a newbie . Videos on how to use the software are not well explained , makes kit hard to use the software and exploit maximum abilities Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering C++Builder:

If you're considering using the C++ builder application, I will advise if you are a beginner to watch youtube videos on how to use the software so that you are more familiar with the software and not discouraged when using the software for the first time. Also, master the language to be more effective when using the application. For advanced software developers, it's excellent software to use. It will make your work easier, help you scale your business, enlarge your market, and run programs faster and effectively with amazing designs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
