Ultimate++

Ultimate++ is a C++ cross-platform rapid application development framework focused on programmer’s productivity. It includes a set of libraries (GUI, SQL, etc.), and an integrated development environment. Rapid development is achieved by the smart and aggressive use of C++ rather than through fancy code generators. In this respect, U++ competes with popular scripting languages while preserving C/C++ runtime characteristics. The U++ integrated development environment, The IDE, introduces modular concepts to C++ programming. It features BLITZ-build technology to speedup C++ rebuilds up to 4 times, Visual designers for U++ libraries, a Topic++ system for documenting code and creating rich text resources for applications (like help and code documentation) and Assist++ - a powerful C++ code analyzer that provides features like code completion, navigation and transformation.

The IDE can work with GCC, MinGW and Visual C++ as contained in free Windows Vista SDK and contains a full featured debugger. The IDE can also be used to develop non-U++ applications. It is mainly used by C++ developers and U++ users. But, it can be easily used to develop application in other languages such as Java, Python etc. It can act as a text editor as well. The Ultimate++ provides a very effective C++ library for cross-platform development in source form and a good integrated development environment, designed for developing large C++ applications. Ultimate++ is free BSD licensed software. Users do not have to pay anything for downloading and using the service. This is great for start ups and wanted to familiarize their selves with the usage.
