Delphi

Delphi is a software product that uses the Delphi dialect of the object pascal programming language. It provides an integrated development environment (IDE) for rapid application development of desktop, mobile, web, and console software. Delphi is developed and maintained by Embarcadero Technologies.

Why Delphi?

Delphi, as a programming language, has been around from the onset of web and software development. Many websites and apps are built on Delphi. Though it sounds obsolete, it has some sought after features that makes it a good framework for web, desktop, mobile, and console software development. Some of these features include:

• Single-code base that enables a developer to create apps for all major platforms with less coding effort
• Up-to-date user interface control which makes it competitive with other technologies
• Dedicated database abstraction layer to connect to more than 20 databases with InterBase, SQlite, mySQL, SQL server, Oracle, PostgreSQL, DB2 etc.

Delphi prides itself on smarter code navigation when refactoring. Recently, most of the interfaces on Delphi have been rebuilt, which makes it more intuitive to use.

Do People Still Develop in Delphi?

If you looked at Google Trends, you might wonder whether people are still building with Delphi. The simple answer is “yes.” Delphi has recently passed through a series of reformations like integrating the Delphi GUI framework to Python, making it a sought-after cross platform for developers. This means that Delphi developers who want to use a Python or C++ integrated framework now have an option with Delphi. It also means that migrating Delphi software is easier.

Are People Migrating their Delphi Applications to the Web?

Migrating older editions of Delphi is possible, though there are things one needs to consider, like the UNICORN compatibility, or 3rd party components; however, if you are interested in migrating your Delphi built-in web apps and software, or upgrading to a newer version, there are experts like iBCScorp™’s Delphi team available for you.
