CELEBRATING

Valentine's Day February 14th 1995

Wayback Machine

Bill Clinton was President, Windows 3.1 was king, and CompuServe was still a thing. The R&D team at Borland Software Corporation which included Anders Hejlsberg, Gary Whizin, Chuck Jazdzewski, Dave Scofield, Allen Bauer, Hank Cox, Marc Cousineau, and Ray Kaestner released Delphi and changed the software development world forever.

BORLAND

Some Team Members Working On Delphi In 1995

In 1995 Delphi was lauded as the next generation Windows development tool, combining the most intuitive visual design environment with the unrivaled performance of a world-class optimizing native code compiler.

Dedication
The dedicated team members at Borland put together a software development tool that has stood the test of time delivering a stunning core rapid application development tool in 1995 and continues building the future today! The incredible history of this Windows (and now cross-platform) development tool is astounding.
Brilliance
Brilliance
““Delphi” started out as a beta codename for a closely guarded skunkworks project at Borland: a next-generation visual development environment for Windows based on Borland’s Object Pascal programming language. ” – Danny Thorpe

Rapid Application Development

27 Years Of Innovation

Fast compile times and rapid application development are bedrocks of Delphi development and today those same innovative features help bring Delphi applications to many platforms.

Object Pascal

Object Pascal is the core language at the heart of the Delphi development environment. Pascal is a software development language created by Niklaus Wirth as a teaching language to help developers learn to program. Object Pascal is easy to learn and use. The Delphi compiler can compile over a million lines of Object Pascal code in just a few seconds.

Rapid Application Development

Rapid application development is a core philosophy behind Delphi and is infused into every aspect of the development tool. Everything from fast compile times to visually building your application in real time Delphi delivers at every stage of the process.

VCL / FMX

The original Visual Component Library or VCL released in 1995 was a key component to the success of Delphi. Visual components that were easy to use and easy to expand drove innovation forward. The VCL has been greatly enhanced and expanded since then and a new cross platform framework called FireMonkey (FMX) has been added bringing Delphi to many different devices.

1995 to 2020

Delphi Versions

Twenty six years of innovation have brought Delphi 1 which targeted Windows 3.1 to Delphi 10.4.1 which targets Android, iOS, macOS, Windows, Linux, and HTML5*!

Design your master UI layout once, then easily customize platform and device specific views without duplication of design effort

DEVELOP

Spend less time waiting for lengthy compiles with our highly optimized compilers for every platform. In some cases compile one million lines in seconds.

DEBUG

Get to the bottom of bugs faster with integrated cross-platform native debugging. Debug applications running remotely on Windows, macOS, iOS, Android and Linux!

DEPLOY

Reach your users by creating apps for their preferred device. Create both desktop and mobile apps with one codebase and one UI.

Visual Development Environment

Delphi has always been about creating apps faster with less coding effort. Today apps can be created for many platforms. Write once, compile everywhere. The core tenants launched in 1995 of the award winning VCL framework for Windows and FireMonkey (FMX) visual framework for cross-platform UIs provide the foundation for intuitive, beautiful user interfaces that wow users today on every platform: Windows, macOS, iOS, Android, Linux, and HTML5*.

Capabilities

Are you ready to design the best UIs of your life?

Design It
Drag-and-drop visual and non-visual components from the palette using the visual designer. Visually connect user interface elements to data sources using the LiveBindings Designer.
Build It
Spend less time waiting for lengthy compiles with our highly optimized compilers for every platform. The Object Pascal compiler can compile over a million lines of code in only a few seconds in some cases.
Run It
Delphi apps on Windows require no additional run time libraries. It can create a small single executable with no dependencies. This has been a core tenet since 1995.
Deploy It
Rapid deployment to multiple devices directly from the IDE saves time. Real-time design validation using Live On-Device Preview to broadcast the active form to multiple devices simultaneously
Design faster with Live Data
Live data at design-time helps developers speed up user interface design across all target screen sizes. Prototype faster by seeing earlier how data fits within UI design, with live data support from multiple sources including databases and REST APIs.
High-Performance Compilers
Highly optimized compilers targeting all platforms ensures performance won’t leave you twiddling your thumbs each time you compile!
Single Codebase Single UI
It’s important that your code will compile and deploy to the platforms you need to support and with Delphi that includes Windows, macOS, iOS, Android, and Linux!
