Best Windows development environment
Delphi now includes Windows 98 controls for state of the art UI development. With Dockable support you can easily integrate sophisticated Toolbar and Windows Docking into your applications with little or no code. The Control Bar makes it easy to build user interfaces with the look and feel of Microsoft Office97, and Action Lists separate user interface activity from application logic thereby reducing lines of code and increasing both reusability and robustness. You also get components to support Windows 98 features such as MonthCalendar, PageScroller, and Flat Scrollbars. Awarded for technical excellence worldwide, Delphi is the fastest, most productive Windows development tool.
Integrate your enterprise with CORBA
Delphi allows you to build, edit, debug, and deploy CORBA objects with One-Step CORBA. One-Step CORBA allows you to use your existing skill set to build reusable business rules that meet CORBA standards. As a CORBA developer, for the first time, you get the advantage of a visual development environment to quickly construct CORBA objects. Delphi provides a robust environment for the full CORBA development cycle.
Faster time to market
Delphi shortens time to market by simplifying the reading, writing, managing, and debugging of code. Simplify code creation and navigation with the advanced AppBrowser environment. Find the tool you need when you need it with the fully customizable IDE with Task Window docking and floating toolbars. Manage complex projects with the new multi-targeted Project Manager, and debug quickly and easily with a complete suite of robust debugging tools.
Speed communication, deployment and scalability
Delphi gives you high-speed, high throughput Web-based data applications with WebBroker technologies. The WebBroker builds robust, distributed HTML applications that support large numbers and clients and large volumes of data. For high performance response, Delphi binds directly to ISAPI and NSAPI web servers. Centralize your information publishing with WebModules, and use WebDeploy for delivering thin-client, zero-configuration applications over the Web.
Develop, deploy, manage
Delphi's advanced multi-target Project Manager is an invaluable tool for organizing, coding, and debugging multiple-project applications. Project Groups can contain a variety of objects, unit files, DLLs, OCXs, DFMs, libraries and more. Delphi's Advanced Project Manager controls the contents, compiler settings, and build order of every module in your project, even multiple projects simultaneously.
Deliver robust, reliable applications
Delphi's advanced debugging features help meet the demanding requirements of creating sophisticated applications. Integrated into the visual development environment, you get Remote and Multi-Process Debugging, plus a robust suite of enhanced features such as: Module View, CPU View, Event Logging, DataWatch Breakpoints, Local Variable Inspection and more, simplify getting reliable code to production.
Exclusive Oracle8 support
Delphi is the first and only development tool on the market today with high performance database support for Oracle8 including Object Relational Extensions. With automatic support of both Nested Tables and Abstract data types, displaying the content of Oracle8 Business Objects is as easy as placing a grid on a form. Delphi surfaces the power of business objects by dynamically creating customizable grids and field objects that display business object contents. You're free to focus on the creation and behavior of business rules, while Delphi handles the complexities of how to display the correct information.
