C++ is an incredibly versatile, powerful, multi-purpose programming language. There is quite literally nothing that cannot be done with C++ whether it be a low-level, close to metal system application which pulls out the maximum amount of power from the computer to the most modern applications with the very latest innovations in user interface design and hardware integrations. A truly great C++…

Happy 27th Birthday Delphi and a Few Thoughts about Building the Future
February 14, 2022
My first Pascal, Turbo Pascal and Delphi Experiences
I wrote my first Pascal program in 1972 as a Computer Science student at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo. I knew from the beginning that Pascal would be part of my future career in some way. I first met Philippe Kahn at the Comdex Las Vegas 1983 convention when he stopped our Softsel Computer Products (now Merisel) booth. Back then I was running…
While many believe that programmers or coders interact directly with computers or machines through code, it isn’t entirely true. Computers understand what we refer to as machine language- a set of instructions in binary combinations, the zero’s and ones. On the other…
The C++ Compiler and C++ IDE features really evolved from the early and auspicious beginnings of Turbo C, C++ and Borland C++. Today we have a wide array of capabilities supporting a rich and diverse amount of OS platforms running on many thousands of types of devices…
Windows 11 is fast reaching the point where it’s impossible to ignore if you want to carry out c++ app development with Builder C++ or target Windows users with your apps. Despite the more rigorous hardware requirements, which meant that not every user could immediately install this free new version, it’s still reaching a huge percentage of the world. If you’re going to embrace…
C++ is subjectively the World’s most powerful programming language and consistently one of the world’s top four most popular programming languages. Thanks to it’s huge range of ready-made variables, functions, methods, namespaces and libraries it’s the…
While the idea of integrated development environments (IDE software) dates back to 1983 when Borland launched TurboPascal, the first-ever editor-compiler integration, many believe the IDE wave really started with Microsoft’s Visual Basic and Delphi in the 1990s. Long…
Have you ever wondered how web browsers can offer smart text options such as auto-fill and hover translate/definition? This is made possible through complex development tools, or IDE Software (Visual Studio, Vims, Eclipse, RAD Studio) tailoring features for each server (C/C++, Java, Python, etc.). This used to be a repetitive process, as each development tool would have to customize its…
