Overview of Delphi

Delphi is a complete environment for programmers who are involved in the visual design, compilation, and debugging of Windows Applications. Programs can be targeted for Win32 and Microsoft .NET Applications using a common source code base.

Because Delphi is an Integrated Development Environment, it provides support for Rapid Application development (RAD).

The Delphi programming language is a variant of Pascal, with object oriented features.

Delphi provides a Visual WYSIWYG client for stand alone Applications, as well as support for Web Application development.
