RE: [DUG] Delphi turned 10 on the 14th of Feb

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…..
