Okay I'm currently doing programming in Delphi7 and so far it's an easy language to learn and to understand basic concept is. I've noticed that there is always a C++ example in the help file. Is Delphi somehow based on C++ but only as more simplified version. I know it doesn't have all the funcions and capabillities but how well does it compare to other Standard languages.A proffessor at a workshop who is skilled in C++ , Delphi and Java didn't say anything about C++ but he says Java is outdated and way too complicated and that he preffers Delphi, can I please get youre comments on this since I'm still only doing basic OOP etc. and not yet more complicatd programming
