Overview and History (JavaScript and Delphi Prism Cross Reference Guide)

By Mike Prestwood

JavaScript versus Delphi Prism: A side by side comparison between JavaScript and Delphi Prism.

Tool Basics

Developer environment basics such as common file extensions, common keyboard shortcuts, etc.

Overview and History

[Other Languages]

JavaScript:

Language Overview: Class-like language with limited but usable class-like and object-like functionality but no formal inheritance nor visibility control, etc.

Many developers are hoping the next version of JavaScript will be a fully OOP language. If you're a working OO developer and need to use JavaScript in an OO manor now, there are many books that help you simulate OOP. One such book we recommend is Pro JavaScript Design Patterns.

Target Platforms: JavaScript is most commonly used to extend HTML by executing code on the browser side when visiting a website. It does have other uses including server side scripting and AJAX.

Delphi Prism:

Language Overview: Prism is a type safe language and a fully OOP language (no global functions or variables except for a very special __Global class). You code using a fully OOP approach (everything is in a class) but you have the additional benefit of a hybrid language using a special __Global class. Prism targets the .Net CLR and Mono. Based on Borland's original work with Delphi.Net and then continued by RemObjects as Oxygene, and now co-developed by CodeGear and RemObjects.

Target Platforms: Delphi Prism is most suitable for creating .Net Framework applications. This includes desktop business application using WinForms and websites using WebForms.
