Embarcadero has published a YouTube video series explaining how to combining C++Builder with MSVC++.
Developers can learn by following 10 videos in the series, with a 10-minute overview hosted by Embarcadero MVP Rob Swindell (pictured).
“My experience with the C++ development tools from Borland, and Emprise, CodeGear and Embarcadero, goes back 30 years, to the original Turbo C – probably version 2.0,” he says in the introductory overview.
“I’ve been very involved with a lot of other embedded development environments, Unix, Gnu, C-compilers and many others.”
The full “Rapid C++ Development: Combining C++Builder with MSVC++” playlist is on YouTube here.
“Even an experienced developer may assume that all object files and library files are interoperable,” says Swindell.
More information about C++Builder can be found on the Embarcadero website.
