Borland Delphi is my programming environment of choice. This union of a powerful programming language (Object Pascal) with a good GUI designer and a development environment with integrated source level debuger and other tools is in my opinion simply the best such tool on the market.

dzPrepBuild

Class and Variable declaration pitfall

There has recently been quite a lot of hubbub in the Delphi blogosphere about a blog posting by a guy called Branden Tanga, who was venting his frustration with Rad Studio 2007. Here is my analysis on his problem.
