Hey I'm aware this question isn't very technical, but I'm new to the Delphi language and I'm wondering what IDE would be great (preferably free) for a beginner with C# and Java experience? I've heard from google that Delphi XE is a good place to start, does anyone have a different opinion on other IDE's available (advantages and disadvantages).
Thanks, appreciate the help.
The nearest thing of Delphi language that you can get outside of Embarcadero's Delphi IDE, AFAIK, is Lazarus. It is constructed on the same base language Delphi was, (Object Pascal), but as RRUZ has already said, is not the same. Anyway, link. http://www.lazarus.freepascal.org/
The only IDE for the Delphi language is the Embarcadero Rad Studio IDE. and
there is not free versions of this IDE only a Starter version.
Yet another Delphi language is Delphi Prism which is an object Pascal variant which targets .net. You can develop Visual Studio and MonoDevelop.
lazuras free pascal is ide for development delphi app and it is free

We need to support and update the old but still perfectly working project written many years ago using Borland C++Builder 6 Personal. No new significant development is expected. Switching to RAD Studio is taking much more effort than just keep using the old stuff.
Is there any option to legally purchase Borland C++Builder or whatever, but register and keep using the old stuff?
Is there any option to legally purchase BCPP Builder or whatever but register and keep using the old stuff?
Not directly, no. The old products are long dead. They are no longer sold or supported.
However, if you purchase the latest RAD Studio version, you can get licenses for old versions, including C++Builder 6. See the following page for more details:

In my current project Delphi 2010 with Firebird latest version used. Also used FIB Plus 7 to connect to firebird.
There is a plan to go for Delphi XE5.
Any suggestions whether support for Delphi XE5 with FIB Plus available or any good alternatives available along with conversion to from FIB plus components ?
Thanks In Advance.
With Best Regards.

You can compile it and use FIB+ in XE5 but you won't be able to use the designers etc. in the IDE. For example you will just get a memo box to enter SQL instead of the fancy form that the designers provide. To get it working you just need to create new packages for XE5 which are pretty much the same as the XE4. I just copied the folder "C:\Program Files (x86)\Devrace\FIBPlus 7.5\sources\D_XE4" on my PC to and edited FIBPlus.inc to inculde:
// Delphi XE5
{$IFDEF VER260}
{$DEFINE D_XE5}
{$ENDIF}
{$IFDEF D_XE5}
{$DEFINE D_XE4}
{$ENDIF}
But really the product is all but dead now and it would be best to think about using something else. We have moved to FireDac but some customers had lots of fast reports using FIB+ and it was easier to compile in the FIB+ just for their reports than do them all again as a stop gap.

I have just finish a small delphi xe7 application, which need some dll file for working. How should i create the application installer .exe for installing such application in other pc?
I suggest you use Inno Setup, which is free, easy to use and can correctly handle all current OS's flavours.
I don't have XE7, so I'm not aware if there's an installation generator shiped with it or not. If not, I advise you to learn about InnoSetup. It's a free setup wizard generator, that has a scripting language similar to Pascal (PascalScript), so it's very welcoming to Delphi programmers. There's a lot of info about it around the net and its documentantion is complete and clear.

I've been using Delphi (Turbo Pascal before that) and have always been a windows guy. My wife bought me one of the new iPads for my birthday and I used it for the first time last night. Wow!... I had no idea how addicting that thing can be.
So, now I need to think about writing an app or two for this iPad. I'm guessing I need to upgrade from Delphi 2010 to Delphi XE2 and I'm looking for a good Delphi resource on development and distribution of iPad apps.
If you want to go the Delphi way you have to upgrade to XE2.
Google for (FireMonkey iOS).

Bob Swart has a course manual called 'Delphi XE2 native iPhone/iPad Development'. It is not free, I have no stocks in it, but I can recommend it.
Check out:

I think to compile a program for an iPad, you either need Delphi Prism, which creates a .NET application that could be run in Mono, a cross platform .NET framework.
Or, if you want to write native code, I think you will need a MacBook to compile the last step and publish it to your iPad. I think there is no compiler included with Delphi XE2, that runs in Windows and creates an executable for the iPad. The compiler for iOS (the FreePascal compiler, which is shipped with Delphi 2) needs to run on a Mac.

I want to use a "spin button control" (also known as an up-down control) in my Delphi Win 32 application (I'm using Delphi 2007).
The aim is to have a control that looks like in Microsoft Office:
image of up/down control in Powerpoint. http://img167.imageshack.us/my.php?image=updownzn8.png
I found this on the Microsoft website: CSpinButtonCtrl Class
But I haven't so far found a control that uses this class - here's where I've been searching:
The SpinEdit control in Delphi looks well... not so good, and doesn't seem to use the official Microsoft control
The JVCL classes have their own implementation
A Google search did not return any results (except some home-brew up/down controls)
I couldn't find something in the Jedi API as well
Can somebody please point me to where I can find a Delphi implementation of the common spin control from Microsoft, or how I can do that myself?
Have a look at TUpDown. It wraps the Win32 control.
Raize Components Raize.com have a nice one
TMS Software do a wide range of components including spin edits (fancy an iPhone style one!) and I have found their support through the newsgroups to be excellent.
