Yeah, delphi is good. Very easy to learn for a beginnner. We learnt Pascal at school and did a major project on delphi. Quite a little powerful language, i wrote a three-level email encryption program with it.
However, back to being easy to learn. TOO easy for my liking... :; :D
Delphi is good. You make make a much smaller application than with VB that will do the same thing. VB and C are much more popular because of ease of use and compatability on one side and the open source nut cases on the other.
I say Nut Case as a compliment. :D
Err... smaller apps, NO!! You have to include runtimes.... VB sucks, just because of that. Delphi is great, cause there are no runtimes required.... But, i guess people do have their opinions, even if they suck :P
Oh, and there is open source for delphi, you just have to look with your eyes open :P
That's what I said! Delphi makes a much smaller app than VB. :)
err.... my bad...
I didnt notice you said makes smaller apps THAN vb
I have Delphi, and Delphi can get pretty complex. Take a look at Dev C++.
DOD, Dev C++ is a compiler for C++... You shudda said "Take a look at C++"... Anyways, i've looked into C++, and it is alot like JAVA, and delphi (more like JAVA) but it is still kinda hard, even tho i have the VB, Delphi, and JAVA background.....
Oh, BTW, DEV C++ is a nice compiler :D
give me vi and g++ anyday. delphi is a good oop I once made a point of sale program with delphi (pascal) that used access for the database and incorperated a barcode scanner and took care of all the buisness aspects of a golf courses club house. It is faster to make a prog in delphi than c++ in my opinion. but if you want to make a program that doesnt need as much code perl is the way to go.

Dev C++ is written in Delphi that utilizes mingw (http://www.mingw.org/).Quote:

So yes it is written in Delphi 6. So research before you yap.Quote:
The SourceForge project page is located here. The bleeding edge source code is located at the SourceForge CVS.

In order to compile it, you'll need Borland Delphi 6.
