The Delphi programming language, or Turbo Pascal, has become a starting point for many developers. Thanks to the simple and clear syntax and the ability to write in a procedural style, it turned out to be very easy to learn. Many would compare it with Visual Basic, but at the peak of its popularity ...

Applications built in Delphi are less common than, for example, those built in C #. These programming languages are from different times. However, even nowadays Delphi and VCL can complete some of the modern tasks. There are many free and commercial libraries that can modernize even old applications...

As for Delphi applications, we understand that we are talking about applications implemented in VCL (Visual Component Library) for the Windows operating system.
