Borland Delphi 2006

I was one of those C++Builder developers, and I always had Delphi on the system, too, if for no other reason than modifying components for BCB that were written in Object Pascal. And, as I'm currently looking for a bit more coding work to supplement my income, this is a welcome upgrade. They've finally combined the products, and I'll only have to pay one upgrade price. It's on the wish list...

Developers out there who're still plunkering along with M$ tools like Visual Studio (which isn't really very visual) or Visual Basic (which is neither) should really take a look at Borland's offerings - I think you'd be pleasantly surprised.

2006, and Borland has confounded its critics. Delphi 2006 is not only a bug-fixed version of the previous release, but adds in C++Builder, a Win32 development tool that marries the C++ language to Delphi’s Visual Component Library. I won’t dive into the sad story of C++Builder X, but enough to say that C++Builder is back; to the delight of C++Builder developers, who finally have an update they can use.
