Piken does a more than sufficient job of breaking it down.

Some of his diagrams are slightly confusing, but you'll get over it.

Posted on 09-19-04 04:26 AM, in What is Delphi? Link
Delphi is a development environment created by Borland. It uses Borland's GUI toolkit (VCL/VCL.NET) and Object Pascal.

If you were to compare Delphi 6 with Visual Basic 6, I believe you'd agree with me that Delphi is superior in many aspects.

However, Windows development has changed quite a bit in recent years. The last version of Delphi to support win32 (through standard VCL) development was 7. Delphi 8 is designed to build programs for the .NET platform.

Likewise, Visual Basic has changed enormously as well.

Delphi 6 or 7 is a pretty decent place to start programming. You'll get virtually all the benefits of RAD (rapid application development) without most of the flaws generally associated with it. Object Pascal is as much a object-oriented language as C++ is. Pascal traditionally has been rather similar to C, and Object Pascal is not an exception.

Delphi has an excellent debugger; on par with Visual Studio (though Microsoft generally finds some way to edge out minor advantages).

Beware of one thing if you're developing with Delphi 6/7: executables are normally statically linked with the VCL. The Visual Component Library is a huge base of code and will bloat your executable to pretty much all hell. A basic program is over 400 kbyte. The executable will compress by about 50% using standard ZIP, though.

You can build with "runtime" packages, also known as dynamic linking, but then you'll have to distribute (and install) the libraries seperately.

Fortunately, executable size isn't related to speed of execution. Code that isn't run can't slow anything down.

Executable size isn't generally as important as it used to be, since broadband is still steadily growing among home users.

The .NET runtime is available at Windows update, or as a separate download here:

Delete the line break after the question mark; I didn't want to cause unnecessary table bloat.

Asking for ROMs publicly is not wise.

Being impatient is not at all practical, either.
