Artur Majtczak is a Delphi user since 1997. He has developed an application (ALLPlayer), which was a showcase entry for the Delphi 26th Showcase Challenge and we got to ask him about his Delphi journey throughout the years. Head over to the ALLPlayer website for more information about the application.

When did you start using RAD Studio Delphi and have long have you been using it?

I’ve been using Delphi since I can remember, most likely it was Delphi 3. Ah, I just checked, it was probably as early as 1997, so it’s been a long time!

What was it like building software before you had RAD Studio Delphi?

In my case it was really long time ago, in times when software was created in simple text editor. Thanks to Delphi I was able to create software ideas very quickly, design and build the user interface with just the computer mouse, and all this intuitively and with incredible ease.

How did RAD Studio Delphi help you create your showcase application?

ALLPlayer in its first version was created in 1998. it was not the prettiest, I admit, but it had features not seen in other players at that time, which was noticed and the number of ALLPlayer users quickly began to grow into millions of users. Subsequent versions added new features and the graphics adapted to changing needs over the years.

What made RAD Studio Delphi stand out from other options?

If we have a cool idea for a new application, regardless of whether it is a database application, corporate app or for the casual user, it would be hard to find a tool in which we can more quickly program a working version with a nice user interface.

What made you happiest about working with RAD Studio Delphi?

What made me happiest about working with RAD Studio/Delphi? Work goes fairly quickly and easily, the RAD Studio software is convenient. I think it’s also a matter of getting comfortable with it.

What have you been able to achieve through using RAD Studio Delphi to create your showcase application?

Readability and simplicity of code. Decent and easy to use user interface.

What are some future plans for your showcase application?

Continued development and enhancement of applications. Simplicity and adaptation to the latest requirements.
