This no doubt is partly Borlands fault. A lot of people lost a lot of money when Borland went down, and while the pressure from Microsoft is the root cause, Borland did drop the ball on their last releases. So I dont blame people for holding a grudge against Borland, but i do think its strange that they categorically refuse to give the product a second chance.
The product never failed. Management did. Jon, Stack Overflow did include a write-in option at one point. Stack Overflow added any tool that got significant results into its subsequent surveys; Delphi failed to make the cut. In fact, all quantifiable evidence points to a very small handful of legacy Delphi developers left in the world. The fact is its methodology is fundamentally flawed, as many commentators have pointed out in the past.
I did a lot of original research before entities like Stack Overflow opened up their data and made it easy to access. The sad reality is that no objective measure of programming language adoption paints the rosy picture its fiercest advocates promote. You are commenting using your WordPress.

There are free IDE addons that address some issues, but why? Then the crazy pricing… it shows they want to milk an old customer base. What about the freelancers out there? They also did something stupid with education in the past. It was used everywhere including the dreaded JBuilder. Few years later? They screwed up multiple times but indeed are still alive which says something about the base of the language.
Dare to look at the STL library? For native GUI applications and utilities its the best. Too bad they ignored webserver usage. Anyway dont forget to also take a look at Lazarus terrible name, but now its quite a fine Pascal IDE. Lets not forget when it was first developed web sites were static HTML pages, and who could imaging being constantly connected to the Internet…. So now I have been away from coding for a long time… And find myself needing scripts to keep up with all the things, so I learned Python.
And you know what sux about Python? Trying to deliver anything in a format for other people. Its great for me… But how can I explain to my 5 member team of non-coders how to use the script, or even install it on their machine?
All you want, but there is no competition. I can write a program in Delphi to calculate your commission and put it on your desktop before lunch.
So we are going to wake up to this need real soon. All those old apps that WORK are reaching a critical point of needing to GTFO of my environment… Those users will go to spreadsheets until you developers get your heads out of your asses and figure out that you need to actually just deliver GUI application interfaces to the users with proper field validation and built in calculations or you will spend your entire life using Python to scan spreadsheets in to databases….
I assume Delphi can call Python scripts? If not Delphi get your head out of your ass. So the closest competition in my mind right now for Delphi is Anvil. Click here to cancel reply. Name required. Email will not be published required. March 8, at pm. February 2, at pm. February 4, at pm.

Developers who use the study guide and have at least four years of Delphi programming experience should be able to pass the exam. Your first step toward becoming certified is to prepare for the certification exam.
To become certified, you generally need at least four years of experience using Delphi. The study guide reviews the topic areas of the certification test and provides links to online learning resources as well as a list of books on Delphi. Another option is to contact an Embarcadero Certification Partner to learn about training courses that they may offer to help you prepare for the test.
Once you have enrolled, you can take the Master Certification exam online in your secure Embarcadero Academy portal. Upon successfully completing the test, you will receive your score and if you pass the test you will receive a certificate of achievement and a certified developer logo that you can use to show the world that you're a Certified Delphi Master Developer.
