What is Delphi?
If you are looking for a solid first language for developing in Windows or you
are a Clipper or dBASE programmer looking to move to Windows development, this
is the product for you.
Delphi is next generation object-Pascal; a solid programming language that in
many ways out-classes C++. With Delphi you can create object-based data driven
applications in less time. The Pascal in Delphi is easier to learn for most
first-time programmers than many other languages. Delphi offers rapid
development of truly object-oriented applications without the nightmares of
most object-oriented languages.
Delphi's integrated development environment (IDE) combines the code editor,
debugger and visual designer into one easy to use system. Delphi's code editor
features automatic syntax highlighting and color-coding. Color-coding helps in
finding syntactical errors and aids in learning the language. Delphi's
Designer makes creating forms as simple as drag-and-drop. Delphi's debugger
aids in finding and fixing errors in your Delphi code.
Delphi enables strong Rapid application development (RAD) in the area of
databases. Delphi simplifies developing both desktop and client/server
data-centric applications. Delphi has native support for the Borland Database
Engine (BDE) for driving popular databases like Access, xBASE, Paradox and
SQL. Delphi also offers support for ODBC and many other data sources.
Delphi comes with a wide selection of components that you can use as well as
learn from. Delphi offers components for database, internet, and many other
areas of development. Delphi also empowers programmers via custom components.
The custom components in Delphi shorten the development time through the
creation of reusable visual objects. Theses objects can be dragged and dropped
into the visual designer, significantly decreasing development time.
Delphi has kept up with technology by offering development in OLE,
DLLs, COM, DCOM, CORBA, XML, Microsoft Office, and many other technologies. Delphi also provides a migration path to Microsoft .NET. Delphi offers a complete e-business development studio,
with the freedom to easily take your solutions cross-platform to Linux.
