Borland Delphi for Windows Quick Info Guide
RADical performance Windows development
Delphi is the only Windows development tool to combine the
Rapid Application Development (RAD) benefits of visual
component-based design, with the power of an optimizing
native code compiler and scalable database access.
Delphi represents the next generation in:
- Performance--with the world's fastest compiler
- Rapid Application Development--via visual Two-Way-Tools
- Component Reuse--a true object-oriented
environment Scalable Database Access--the fast track to
client/server
The fastest way to the fastest applications
Delphi is the next-generation Windows development tool,
combining the visual design environment with the unrivaled
performance of a world-class optimizing native code
compiler. Delphi includes the world's fastest compiler,
capable of compiling Windows applications at more than
350,000 lines per minute, resulting in executable files
(EXEs) that are robust and lightning-fast.
Delphi executables are also immediately deployable and
completely royalty-free, and no runtime interpreter Dynamic
Link Library (DLL) is required. Delphi applications
typically execute up to 10 to 20 times faster than
interpreted p-code.
Only Borland can offer this unique combination of integrated
tools including its award-winning report writer,
ReportSmith, the Borland Database Engine, and the Local
InterBase Server.
RAD, from prototype to production
Delphi accelerates Windows development by providing a
comprehensive suite of visual design and debugging tools
that move you seamlessly from prototyping to deployment of
finished applications. Delphi's Two-Way-Tools help you
optimize your programming time by switching effortlessly
between visual design and the underlying source code.
Reuse components to maximize productivity
Included with Delphi is the comprehensive Visual Component
Library (VCL), a collection of more than 75 standard Windows
objects such as dialogs, buttons, and list boxes, along with
a host of additional reusable objects including database
controls, notebook tabs, grids, multimedia controls, and
much more! Delphi's Integrated Development Environment (IDE)
is fully customizable. Custom reusable components, external
DLLs, and commercial VBXs can be rapidly added to Delphi's
Component Palette.
Delphi is a true object-oriented development tool, including
polymorphism, inheritance, and encapsulation. Delphi's
component-based architecture allows you to seamlessly
integrate DLLs, VBX controls, and OLE 2.0 servers into your
applications.
Smooth scaling to client/server
Delphi has been designed to provide an easy path to the
fast-growing market of client/server applications
development. Transparent local SQL development is possible
with Delphi, using the built-in Local InterBase Server,
which enables you to rapidly develop high-performance ANSI
SQL-92 compatible applications for standalone systems.
