Since many years, I have been using Borland Delphi as a development tool for Windows applications. Delphi is certainly an excellent RAD tool and the Delphi language (Object Pascal, even though Borland has abandoned that name now and calls the language Delphi too) is very elegant and well structured. The single-pass compiler is very fast, even though it could do with some revisions to better support the most recent generations of processors.
C makes it easy to shoot yourself in the foot; C++ makes it harder, but when you do, it blows away your whole leg.

With this section, I am trying to make a small contribution to the world of Delphi by providing various articles and code fragments. I invite you to send me any comments or remarks about the content of these pages. From time to time, you should be able to find me on some of the Borland Delphi Newsgroups, another great resource of information for many programmers.
