Publisher's Description. Borland for many year has a complete dedication to the development tools. Borland has been a pioneer in many development technologies. I have worked for many years (I am very old) with a lot of development tools. Delphi IS THE BEST and the best creation of Borland until this moment.

I am kinda new in programming and I was wondering what is the main difference between Delphi and Delphi.NET? I hope I can get some examples about their differences, be it syntax or structures.
By the way, is there any 'simple and easy' compiler for Delphi.NET ? (such as Dev for C++ which is kinda simple)

Delphi is the language and IDE to create native Windows, Mac and iOS applications.

Delphi.NET is a deprecated version to generate .NET applications. The current alternative to create .NET applications using a Object Pascal syntax is use Embarcadero Prism.
David HeffernanThe difference is quite simple: Delphi was designed originally to create applications which run on Windows OS without any other 'interpreter'. That means that you were developing an application in Delphi and Delphi will generate the machine code needed.
When .NET arrived the guys from Borland create a separate compiler which was a layer on this technology, so the Delphi developers continue to create applications which work on that, without being forced to learn a new language and a the new platform(more or less).
From my knowledge the only tools which are more or less 'Delphi' developer friendly are Delphi for .Net(from old Borland) and the Prism compiler(known also as Oxygene) from RemObjects.
