The Journey to Delphi

 I am a Computer Science student at KNUST, a prominent tertiary in Ghana and West Africa. I'm at level 400 and will complete soon. I started programming in Delphi in January 2020 during the Covid 19 pandemic. It seems I have a little knowledge in Delphi now. During my first year in the tertiary, I learned c++ which was my favorite programming language. But I didn't like Java so much. I used c++ to write a console application which was a school terminal report project. The user needs to key in the marks and the program will calculate totals and assign grades. I was very happy I was able to do this. But I had a second thought, we are in the erra of GUI so I need to get another framework of C++ that I can design UI and write codes. I started researching on the web. Fortunately, I found Qt. But installing Qt on my machine was a problem. I continued to research and subscribe to a C++ channel which send me news on it. On one day, this channel sent me email describing C++ builder. That's when I started reading about Embarcadero and its powerful language Delphi from their website - embarcadero.com.

Thanks to that blogger. I wish Delphi will help me build my career as a software engineer in future.


Thanks for reading.

Improvements for Remote Desktop Connection

In addition to compiler speed and a responsive IDE, the IDE now can also handle being used in a MRD connection. In the past versions of Delphi, the IDE did not handle the resolution change caused by Remote Desktop and became unresponsive. Now that's a thing of the past. With 10.4.2, you are ready for all that and it works just fine. One merit of this is that you are able to access Delphi on your laptop through a remote connection when you're outside your office. Yes it's possible to access your office desktop. Ready for software production, visit embarcadero.com.
