I started out with Delphi 2 and went through upgrades until Delphi 2007. I have never been able to figure out why anyone would have a need for InterBase. I have had to go outside Delphi to get useful add-ons Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28009703.post-45166425776469481352013-01-13T05:55:42.765-05:002013-01-13T05:55:42.765-05:00I really think that Delphi could be a better-accep...I really think that Delphi could be a better-accepted RAD program if it offers decent entry level versions at an affordable price.

Very bad choice.I still code all my personal projects with Delphi 2007. The expanded product "updates" are really product price increases with no discernible benefit over the base Delphi 7 version. I will definitely not fall for XE3!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
