Embarcadero's RAD Studio XE3 World Tour: Surabaya

I attended Embarcadero's RAD Studio XE3 World Tour: Surabaya in Sept 14. The event is nice, and RAD Studio XE3 is kinda cool. The speaker is Steve Ho and Gordon Li.


-I ate a lot of brownies back there, hehe
 
 

RAD Studio XE3 is an IDE, heavily based on Delphi with FireMonkey GUI designer and rapid prototyping tool, and Prism which is kind of wrapper for mono and .NET. The IDE is available on Windows (XP onwards) and MacOSX. Demos on the event highlighted its readiness to develop rich business application on Windows 8 and HTML5 with flashy interface, d'oh.

I can't help but comparing RAD Studio and Qt. It's Pascal and C++, it's FireMonkey and Qt Designer, it's Prism and Qyoto, it's Delphi and Qt Creator, moreover it's proprietary license and LGPL.
 
Later in the event, they said RAD Studio's going to support Linux by 2015 (on Lazarus maybe?)
