About Delphi

Delphi is an integrated development environment (IDE) that helps individual developers and small and enterprise teams build native apps for MacOS, iOS, Windows, Android and Linux platforms. Key features include deployment management, graphical user interface, workflow management, visual modeling and collaboration tools.

Teams using Delphi can build connected business applications for desktop and mobile platforms through the FireMonkey and visual component library (VCL) components. The system allows developers to automatically mark errors, build code by leveraging cross-platform libraries and add live logging to applications through CodeSite Logging. Additionally, it offers integrated cross-platform native debugging by inspecting the current value of variables that ensures deployment and debugging of applications on any device.

Delphi's compilers enable users to customize the IDE according to individual coding styles. The solution can be integrated with various version control systems such as Subversion, Git and Mercurial.

Delphi is available on annual subscription and support is extended via phone, email and FAQs.

Delphi is a valuable development tool for multiple targets.

It has been great creating solutions for customers. Including Forensic laboratories and police departments.

Pros:

It can do anything from make an android app to connecting a Laboratory toxicology screening instrument via tcp/ip. It can deliver results to a Oracle database as easy as a mysql database.

Cons:

New forms are automatically created at program startup. Make an option to create on reference like this example.* This leaves nothing to change in existing programs.In a form unit, remove the existing auto created variable and make it a function.

Reasons for choosing Delphi

Past knowledge and belief that it would be continously updated. It has been for 25 years!

A life with Delphi

If you want to develop a cross-platform app from scratch quickly, it is a good environment to work with. But if / when you need to integrate with other technologies a few questions are raised.

Functionality

Pros:

The ability to deliver cross-platform applications from the one code base makes the development process much easier. I am able to create an application for iOS, Android, and Windows. Additionally the apps are native to each target. Debugging is also a breeze, even with Android apps.

Cons:

While the community version is free, the cost to purchase otherwise is a tad on the expensive side when you consider what is possible in other development environments. Not all technologies (and associated libraries) can be use with Delphi.

Object-oriented desktop programming for small shops

I loved Delphi straight out of college like a young boy loves his dog: I was excited when it was a puppy and I taught it tricks and we were best friends and did everything together; and then the dog got older, laid around the house a lot, and we would just spend time together by being in the same room. I would never get rid of it, because I love it so much, but it was time to move on.

Pros:

Programmers my age might remember programming with Pascal. Delphi is the modern IDE for that language which is why source files are named with the .pas extension to this day. Delphi is a fun IDE where a programmer can learn a lot about object-oriented programming. If I had to write a new desktop software today, I would do it in Delphi. Delphi is not an interpreted language like Java; it compiles right into binary machine code that Windows can readily run. I understand that one can also compile programs for iOS devices, though I never tried. I learned so much about programming with Delphi in my decades using it. I learned about refactoring, code insight, coding patterns, and user interface design.

Cons:

Delphi has always had difficulty moving into the modern age of web and app development and code sharing. It tries to solve modern challenges using old school techniques. Delphi marketing has shown a lot of cool, modern things that Delphi can do, but I found documentation, walk-throughs, and samples to be lacking and of superb quality. Delphi has also had a hard time grappling with web standards like XML, namespaces, SOAP, REST, JSON, https, authentication protocols, and more. What astounded me was that, once these technologies were implemented the first time, Delphi wouldn't look back, see what they did poorly, and improve it; the features would just be deployed the same way, year after year, version after paid version. In later years I wondered what we were paying for when these web deficiencies stayed the same. So, they're great at desktop and database communication, but not for much else.

Reasons for choosing Delphi

At the time, there really was no other product which allowed programmers to create native Win32 applications that talked to an enterprise database.

Pros:

The software is super simple to use and works great with all other systems we have in place in our company!

Cons:

While a quality product, it's not super intuitive fore beginner employees. Once they have time to practice it is great, but in the beginning it seems to be a little clunky/overwhelming.
