Next Sunday, February 14th 2021, will be the 26th anniversary of the launch of Delphi 1 by Borland. Last year Embarcadero had a great celebration, inviting some of the original developers to get involved, as you can see at https://delphi.embarcadero.com/

This year, the company is organizing a showcase challenge, inviting all Delphi developers to describe the applications they have built using the tool. You can read the details at https://blogs.embarcadero.com/delphi-26th-birthday-showcase-challenge/

There are some great prizes but also the change to feature your application at https://blogs.embarcadero.com/category/showcase/ and share it with other developers. Tools and utilities, mobile apps, business apps, games and simulations, medical and scientific apps, music and image processing, anything goes and the variety of applications build with Delphi is a clear testament of its power and versatility.

Only a few development tools have proved to be such a great platforms for developers for such a long time, and possibly none has offered the same level of compatibility with 20 years old code while offering support for the latest Windows 10 (and mobile platforms) features. Celebrating Delphi's birthday is not simply looking to the past, but it is discussing the present and the future of this great tool and of software development.
