Pioneering Simplicity: The fascinating history of Delphi and Pascal (CMG Publishing)
Friday, 25 October 2024

This book looks at the world of Pascal and Delphi. From the innovative mind of Niklaus Wirth at Zurich's ETH to the global software revolutions powered by Borland's Turbo Pascal, Marco Geuze unravels the story of how simplicity and efficiency became the core of modern software development. With a focus on pivotal moments, Marco captures how they revolutionized not only coding but also the way programmers think. Filled with behind-the-scenes stories from key players like Anders Hejlsberg, Zack Urlocker, Allen Bauer and Chuck Jazdzewski, this book dives deep into the heart of programming history and showcases the development environment that sparked the era of rapid application building.
