I rebuild a large number of demos with no change. Well, the UI looks date, you need to manually enable HighDPI (one checkbox away), do a few tweaks. The IDE plugins, those are broken. And some libraries don't ship any…
Thank you, it was a nice project, partially walking down the memory lane, but also checking how many features in that version of Delphi are still core today -- not just for the product but for the industry
Delphi is single pass today... this has drawbacks, but the compiler is fast!
Yes, sorry, it's an old personal blog based on my own code, which doesn't handle traffic spikes very well
Delphi produces native applications with no dependency, offers components encapsulating Windows APIs, COM, WinRT -- and a great native platform experience. Binary code with no dependency = real xcopy deployment, small…
Ops, fixed, yes somehow funny
The old museum site is currently offline, but if you visit the Delphi 25th anniversary site (https://delphi.embarcadero.com/) you can find in the menu at the top a link to download "Historic Delphi 1 Client/Server…
To my knowledge, the software was provided for free, there was no economic transaction. In fact, Delphi Community Edition is free to any student over the world. This deal adds support for teachers.
Got it, makes sense
What are you talking about? Delphi let's you build Android apps, not just DOS apps. And iOS, and Win64, etc...
Nice review ;-) I think I read it, back then
You are right about MongoDB... as for "VCL source code" it is available, but with licensing limitations
Well notice that info is for application with DEBUG information, not release...
"Delphi has a Community Edition now (which is free), but the fact that are excluded from a large portion of the library" That's not really the case. With Delphi Community edition you get support for 4 operating systems,…
For home projects, the Starter edition is free.
Delphi is used a lot, desktop has first class Win10 support (store included) and mobile clients are cross-platform. Also fast server code -- now coming to Linux. Skype for Windows is still written in Delphi! But I'm…
Sorry about that, my blog is self-hosted and never gets much traffic -- roughly 100x general volume
A million lines in 5 seconds, even if this is generated code: https://community.embarcadero.com/blogs/entry/compiling-a-mi...
