dman Posted February 27, 2005 Share Posted February 27, 2005 Delphi is Borland's RAD (Rapid Application Development) Tool. It uses the Turbo Pascal language instead of Basic, but the IDE and coding style is very similar. During the 90's it was always said if you wanted to see what was in the next version of VB, look at the current version of Delphi.IMHO, blowing them both away is Visual FoxPro. Microsoft's red-headed step child that doesn't even get a mention on MSFN. It is a common misconception that VFP is just a database. It is also the simplest and most powerful general purpose RAD tool yet developed. Too bad MS keeps trying to bury it in favor of that VB.NOT abomination. (not that Visual Studio.NET isnt a great development env in it's own way, but if you use it, do yourself a favor and learn C#, its easier than trying to unlearn the language that VB used to be) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psytechnic Posted March 6, 2005 Share Posted March 6, 2005 Interesting comment, DMan.But one slight quibble...And I quote... "(not that Visual Studio.NET isnt a great development env in it's own way, but if you use it, do yourself a favor and learn C#, its easier than trying to unlearn the language that VB used to be) "Unlearning which language? VS.NET compiles VB, C++ and C#...Secondly, C# is easier to write, aye, but C++ is not limited to the .NET framework...Every programming language has its forte and failiures. I picked C to start, because it was the one I heard about the earliest... (Although, unwittingly, I'd previously programmed in BASIC!!!) But it could have easily been VB, Delphi, Perl, C++ etc...Just go with what feels good... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dman Posted March 6, 2005 Share Posted March 6, 2005 @psytechnic:I say "unlearn" VB6 because there are just enough syntax differences between VB6 and .NET that almost nothing written in VB6 will compile on .NET. The project converter tries and fails on all but the simplest projects. Some common examples are 0 based arrays and variant data types. Not to mention all of the .net framework code that doesnt apply to vb6 and you have enough incompatibilities to warrent just switching to C#.And yes, for heavy duty development, C++ is the obvious choice, but for RAD C# is much quicker.Don't go with what feels good, go with what will satisfy job requirements in minimum development time (which is why I mainly use VFP) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doggie Posted March 11, 2005 Share Posted March 11, 2005 i agree with dman in a way, vb6 sucks if u wanna learn languages like delphi, C++ etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
