Delphi was originally developed by Borland as a rapid application development tool for Windows as the successor of Turbo Pascal. Delphi added full object-oriented programming to the existing language, and the language has grown to support generics, anonymous methods , closures , and native Component Object Model (COM) support.
Delphi evolved from Borland's Turbo Pascal for Windows, itself an evolution with Windows support from Borland's Turbo Pascal and Borland Pascal with Objects, very fast 16-bit native-code MS-DOS compilers with their own sophisticated integrated development environment (IDE) and textual user interface toolkit for DOS (Turbo Vision).
C++Builder uses the same IDE as Delphi, and shares many core libraries.Notable shared Delphi (Object Pascal code) and C++ Builder routines include the FastMM4 memory manager, which was developed as a community effort within the FastCode project, the entire UI framework known as the VCL, which is written in Object Pascal, as well as base system routines, many of which have been optimised for ...
On September 5, 2006, Developer Tools Group of Borland Software Corporation announced the initial releases of the Turbo products. [2] There were two versions of Turbo Delphi, one which generates native Win32 applications (Turbo Delphi for Windows), and one that generates bytecode for the Microsoft.NET CLR. Each version came in two editions, a ...
Borland’s Turbo Pascal had a "database" Toolbox add-on, which was the beginning of the Borland compiler add-ons that facilitated database connectivity. Then came the Paradox Engine for Windows – PXENGWIN – which could be compiled into a program to facilitate connectivity to Paradox tables.
Borland licensed Hejlsberg's "PolyPascal" compiler core (Poly Data was the name of Hejlsberg's company in Denmark), and added the user interface and editor. Anders Hejlsberg joined the company as an employee and was the architect for all versions of the Turbo Pascal compiler and the first three versions of Borland Delphi. [3]
In 1995, Borland C++ 4.5 with OWL 2.5 was released. As it was released before Windows 95, Borland promised a free upgrade for any incompatibility present in the final Windows version. In August 1995, Microsoft launched Windows 95 and Visual Studio 4.0. By then, Visual Studio had already eclipsed Borland C++ in shipments, and it was clear that ...
With Borland's reorganization of their development tools as CodeGear, all references to Borland C++ and Turbo Assembler vanished from their web site. The debuggers in later products such as C++Builder [4] and Delphi are based on the Windows debugger introduced with the first Borland C++ and Pascal versions for Windows.
