IMHO, C++ Builder and Delphi are practically identical anyway. Several
years ago I took a break from Delphi to do a month's worth of
programming in C++ Builder. I'd never used C++ before, just C and
Delphi, but it was all grist to the mill. I've been tempted to try
winging C++ Builder certification just because it would be a good way to
prove this point, but I need a sponsor... :-)
