Windows 10 Modernize Webinar Series

The Windows 10 train has left the station

Our webinar series in August and September focuses on helping you modernize to get the most out of Windows 10. Are you running on Windows 7 or earlier? Effective January 14, 2020, Microsoft will end support of Windows 7. On that day, the company will also no longer patch Windows 7 with its security updates. Given the changes coming, now is the time to modernize. Learn how to do that in this webinar series.

Description:

Often JavaScript frameworks like Electron are used for Windows development because of rapid productivity, low barrier of entry, and getting up and running quickly. Unfortunately, they often bring massive overhead and lack some features necessary for desktop applications. That is where RAD Studio, Delphi, and C++Builder come in as the original Rapid Application Development solution. Not only do developers get maximum productivity, but they also get native desktop performance with less overhead and access to all the features of the platform. If multi-platform is important then the FireMonkey framework gives your Desktop applications compatibility on Windows, macOS, and Linux, with the option to extend them to Android and iOS mobile platforms.

Join this session to see how your favorite rapid application development framework stacks up against Electron and other JavaScript frameworks for desktop application development.
