REALbasic 2005 for Windows Now Shipping, Completely Redesigned to
Enhance Productivity and Speed Software Development
Provides Greater Compatibility with Visual Basic
AUSTIN, Texas, USA - June 14, 2005 - REAL Software announced today
that REALbasic 2005 for Windows, a groundbreaking new release of the
product, is shipping. REALbasic 2005 sports a brand-new user
interface that improves productivity and ease of use for both new and
experienced Windows software developers, especially Visual Basic users.
"REALbasic 2005 represents the most significant upgrade to REALbasic
ever," stated Geoff Perlman, president and CEO of REAL Software. "We
took extensive feedback from our users, especially Visual Basic
users, and used it to design a brand-new REALbasic user interface
that makes Windows software development faster and easier for both
experienced and novice developers alike."
"With the new interface and all the improvements, REALbasic 2005 for
Windows is a very compelling alternative for Visual Basic users
looking for a new home," said Jim Hubbard, principal developer at
Hubbard Software, a software integrator based in Atlanta. "Not only
do Visual Basic users get ongoing development and support from a
company that is focused entirely on REALbasic, they get the freedom
to develop for the platforms they choose, whether Windows, Macintosh,
or Linux."
REALbasic for Windows includes a host of new features and
functionality designed to make the transition easy for Visual Basic
developers, including:
• REALbasic 2005 has a new browser-style tabbed interface that makes
it very easy to navigate for new users. New toolbars have been
added that contain the most common functions; a status bar
provides up-to-the minute information. A screenshot of this new user
interface is
available here: <http://www.realsoftware.com/realbasic2005/

• REALbasic's newly redesigned interface also helps experienced users
be more productive. Multiple projects can now be opened and
searched. Search results, including those found with regular
expressions, can be listed in batch. REALbasic 2005 also includes a new
database browser. All of these capabilities make it easier to work
more efficiently.
• Web pages or any other HTML-based content can now be displayed
directly in any REALbasic application via a new HTML viewer control.
• REALbasic Professional Edition now includes the ability to create
custom controls. It also makes it easy to encapsulate code in order to
facilitate code maintenance.
• REALbasic 2005 includes REAL SQL Database, a new SQLite-based
single-user database engine recently acquired from SQLabs.
• The new REALbasic 2005 for Windows IDE is even more compatible with
Visual Basic, so Visual Basic developers can feel right at home
with REALbasic.

the kind of software that can be created with REALbasic.
