CodeGear - Delphi 2010

Delphi 2010

Delphi® is one of the most respected and widely used Rapid Application Development (RAD) environments today. Over 1.7 million developers worldwide choose Delphi over other tools because Delphi radically speeds desktop, workstation, touch, kiosk, and Web application development without sacrificing an ounce of programming power or control. Applications built with Delphi are lightning fast, compact, provide rich UIs, and can connect with virtually any database or data source “out-of-the-box”. With Delphi, you can:

  • RADically reduce development time and build Windows applications up to 5x faster than with other development solutions
  • Speed your way from prototype to production with visual drag-and-drop tools and a powerful component library
  • Free your customers from keyboards with dazzling touch based UIs

Delphi 2010 is available in Professional, Enterprise and Architect editions. For details on the differences between the editions, see the Product Editions section and Feature Matrix page.
