1. Support XML standards to quickly submit business information on the web.
Delphi simplifies the data distribution and optimizes the data exchange process. Support for XML enables developers to quickly build systems that are resilient and scalable to accommodate the new wave of technology brought on by Internet e-business.
2. Use internetexpress to build high-speed Internet applications.
Delphi 5 enables developers to develop hyper "thin" (ultra-thin) clients with DHTML and XML, and to quickly distribute client applications of standard Web features over the Internet. Internetexpress includes the Web Client Page wizard, MIDAS Pageproducer, and WebBroker, which are used to build distributed DHTML and XML applications to accommodate the needs of numerous clients and large amounts of data.
3. Support ADO.
With Microsoft's ActiveX Data Object (ADO) and OLE DB technology, Delphi 5 can quickly access relational and non relational databases, including e-mail and file systems. Developers can make direct access to Internet information to help users better make business decisions. Teamsource enhances the productivity of the entire development team.
4.Delphi 5 enables the entire development team to work more harmoniously and faster.
Teamsource revolutionized the way the source code is managed. Teamsource builds on existing source code management and versioning, and expands its functionality through an efficient workflow model, simplifying source control for large, decentralized development teams.
5.MIDAS extends Internet applications.
Submit an application system that adapts to large volume and multi-user numbers. Setting up an Internet application simplifies management of many browser clients or Windows clients on the Internet or on an intranet. MIDAS supports all distributed computing standards, such as CORBA, COM, and MTS, and integrates existing systems smoothly with e-business and Internet applications.
6.InterBase Express builds excellent critical application systems.
Delphi 5 makes Delphi and InterBase more closely combined, the high efficiency, high-performance development tools and fast, low maintenance and optimized configuration of small and medium-sized relational database technology integration. With the InterBase Express component, VARs, SLS, and ISVs are able to deliver and distribute efficient application systems quickly.
The 7.Borland translation suite quickly localized the Delphi 5 application.
While visualizing the development of applications in different geographies, Delphi can also manage the conversion of resource files and save the conversion information in a library (repository), accelerating internationalization development.
8. Use Delphi's professional IDE to build powerful and rugged applications.
Delphi's visual development environment enables developers to quickly build applications and develop prototypes simply by selecting the appropriate components on the panel. Delphi 5 The latest project browsing and data Module view help programmers to better understand the code, and thus greatly improve development efficiency. The To Do List feature and new development wizards, such as Control Panel Wizard, speed up program writing.
The 9.Visual Component Library enhances the power of object-oriented development.
Developers can create, customize, and reuse their own components, or they can choose from more than 200 components in the Visual Component Library of Delphi. With the latest frames feature developers can visually create components for business logic. Developers have access to VCL source code, including new decision cube components and additional property Editors, as well as the latest automation components that are available to support MS Office. Delphi based on component technology greatly simplifies a lot of complex development tasks.
10. Further enhanced debugging capabilities make complex projects more responsive to market demands.
Using Delphi 5 to correct and correct a fairly complex project can be very simple. Delphi's further enhanced debugging capabilities enable developers to better understand and master program code, including breakpoint ToolTips, Actions, Groups, fpu/mmx View, support for drag and drop, and so on.
