Borland Delphi (now a product of Borland's subsidiary, CodeGear) is a software development package created by Borland. The 10th and latest version, Delphi 2006 supports the Delphi programming language (Object Pascal) and C++ for the 32 bit Microsoft Windows platform, and Delphi and C# for the Microsoft .NET platform.

Delphi's most popular use is the development of desktop and enterprise database applications, but as a general-purpose development tool it is capable of, and is used for, most types of development projects.

The Delphi product is distributed as various suites: Personal, Professional, Enterprise (formerly Client/Server) and Architect.

The main features that distinguish Delphi and Kylix from other IDEs are:
  • The Pascal-based programming language
  • The VCL/CLX (Visual Component Library)
  • A strong emphasis on database connectivity
  • A large number of third party components.
  • Delegation of interface implementation to a field or property of the class
  • Implementation of message handlers by tagging a method of a class with the integer constant of the message to handle
  • COM independent interfaces with reference counted class implementations
  • Can be compiled into native x86 code or managed .NET code
