The C++Builder Developer's Journal is the only publication devoted specifically to C++Builder development.

For the past 13 years (since BCB 1), we've published approximately 50 articles per year on topics such as using/creating VCL components, mastering the Windows API, using databases, C++ libraries/templates, Direct3D, GDI+, and even specialty topics such as shell programming, JPEG-2000, interfacing with hardware, and Fourier transforms.

The C++Builder Developer's Journal is a non-profit publication run by long-time C++Builder users. All of our income goes directly to our authors and for website maintenance. To keep this publication running, we need your support.

Special Issue on C++Builder 2010 (Vol. 15, No. 5)

2010 Special Issue (PDF 3.3 MB)

Open-access special issue of the C++Builder Developer's Journal on C++Builder 2010!

C++Builder 2010 provides many new features not found in previous versions. Examples include enhancements to the IDE, compiler, and debugger; new VCL components/classes; updates to existing VCL components/classes; support for Unicode, new C++ libraries, new databases, touch-enabled applications; and much more. Yet, despite these advancements, much of this new power has yet to be harnessed by developers. The goal of this special issue is to highlight and openly discuss these features which are distinctive to C++Builder 2010.
