I remember when I first saw Delphi 1. A mate of mine brought his laptop around and
said, “You’ve got to see this”. I was literally blown away. I
couldn’t believe that Windows programming could be so easy.
It’s a shame I think that Delphi never really took off in the States. There is no
doubt in my mind that Delphi has been the best development tool available since
Delphi 1, with maybe C# (IMO) starting to catch up – if you don’t mind
using .NET.
The thing I like the most about Delphi is the community – forums such as this and
things like JEDI etc.
How long has this list been around? I have
been a member since ’99 any of the originals still around? I do notice
some of the names from the early days (well of my membership anyway) on the
.NET list these days. Bit of a shame, but I guess job availability etc dictate
what people use…..
