borland delphi 2005 splash screen
1. introduction
borland delphi 2005 is the latest version of borland delphi, offering rapid application development for the microsoft windows operating system and the microsoft .net framework version 1.1. with both the delphi language (for win32 and .net 1.1) and c# (for .net 1.1 only).
product overview
delphi 2005 can be seen as having three different personalities: a win32 personality using the delphi language (where delphi 2005 is the successor of borland delphi 7), and two .net personalities: one using delphi as language (the successor of borland delphi 8 for the microsoft .net framework), and the other using c# as language. with respect to the latter personality, delphi 2005 is the upgrade from borland c#builder 1.0.
as a result, delphi 2005 is the next step for current borland delphi 3 through 8 and borland c#builder developers for rapid application development (rad) on win32 as well as the .net framework.
