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 Del开发者_开发技巧phi 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.
