General Information
From Upp
Ultimate++ is a cross-platform rapid application development suite. It includes a set of libraries(called packages) to enable the program code to compile on different platforms with minimal to no changes. It is primarily aimed at creating graphical user interfaces and interfacing with an SQL compatible database.
It comes with its own integrated development environment TheIDE which is self hosted but not required. Currently it has full support for Microsoft Windows and Linux/FreeBSD(X11, GTK+), with Mac OS and Windows CE in development.
The most notable feature is a rewritten template library NTL instead of STL that comes with C++. Combined with TheIDE it makes up an application framework/toolkit.
