Metrowerks is now offering the “Productivity Bundle,” which combines REAL Software’s REALbasic 4.5 object-oriented rapid application development (RAD) environment, SolidWave Software’s RADicode 1.0 code converter, and Metrowerks’ CodeWarrior Development Studio. “This bundle essentially gives developers a head start in the creation of Mac applications,” said Greg Hemstreet of Metrowerks. “Developers can easily prototype their applications, then convert them in a matter of minutes, allowing more time for C++ coding and other important tasks.” The bundle is priced at US$299.
