Hey guys,
Anyone here use C++ Builder?
I've had Builder 4 Professional since I was a young lad, my dad got it for me and I really enjoyed messing around with it. Never completed anything beyond a little address book program but that's not the point
.
So are there any Borland devotees here? I've been a fan of Borland products since Turbo Pascal 6/Borland Pascal 7, Turbo C++ 2, etc. Never really completed anything but had a great lot of fun learning to program in Pascal when I was younger and learning C++ as a teenager was awesome, the scope and power I discovered from learning the language was an amazing jump ahead.
I got Builder 4 before I'd managed to start on C++ in depth. I remember looking at all the automatically generated code thinking it looked far too weird to be legitimate C++, and then learning more, and realising exactly how it worked and that it certainly was standard coding
.
I've also got the free version - Turbo C++ Explorer. It's great! Unfortunately you can't install custom packages, but it's still great for doing stuff.
I never really got into using Visual Studio products, except for a bit of Visual Basic when I want to do something quickly and simply using Basic code which I already know works. I learned Basic in Qbasic when I was quite young
