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.

Notes: If you put a <mailto:> link in the URL field your address will not be mangled: this could be a bad idea as your email address could be easily harvested by bots designed for SPAM. The comments field should now format correctly for line feeds and carriage returns: when you hit the 'Enter' or 'Return' keys in your comment it should break to a new line. The text should wrap cleanly. Please let me know if it doesn't. No HTML tags will pass through - entering links seems to be the main cause of comment SPAM. Also, please be sure that Javascript is enabled in your browser before attempting to post a writeback. Sorry for any inconvenience, but this really helps cut down on the amount of comment SPAM I have to deal with.
