Award-Winning Educational Tools
From teaching fundamentals to advanced computer science:
Educators worldwide choose Delphi from Embarcadero.
In our educational institutions, computer science is a subject justified more by its methods than by its rapidly changing content. Computer-specific methodologies are not only “discussed” in class but are also realized. Terms like “individual learning,” “student-centered teaching,” and “hands-on learning” do not need to be mere buzzwords; they describe the actual connection to “real life.” If any discipline can provide the experience of independently tackling and solving problems according to one’s own ideas, it is computer science—with its powerful tool, the computer, and its methodical possibilities.
Embarcadero is committed to training developers worldwide. Every day, educators at all levels—from secondary schools to universities—use Embarcadero's tools, documentation, and books to inspire the next generation of computer experts to engage in software development. The “Embarcadero Education Program” includes licenses for group use in educational institutions as well as private licenses allowing students to learn at school and at home.
Why Use Delphi for Teaching Programming?
To teach programming, you need a clear and understandable programming language that conveys fundamental and central principles of computer science. Delphi is that language: a modern, powerful, object-oriented evolution of Pascal, a language ideally suited for teaching the theory and practice of proper program development.
The clarity of the Delphi language is not only a guarantee of successful learning but also a foundation for creating high-quality software. Delphi is used in thousands of well-known applications by leading developers on Windows, macOS, iOS, Android, and Linux. The skills acquired with Delphi can be applied to other languages at any time, providing a valuable qualification in the job market.
The use of Delphi in education simplifies the teaching process for instructors and the understanding of complex topics for students. Students acquire exactly the fundamental, practical, and sustainable skills they need.
The IDE plays an important role by providing students with immediate feedback on the quality and structure of their code. This accelerates the learning process by directing attention to the technical and logical structures of programming rather than the layout of the code. From the start, unnecessary negative experiences with formatting issues (common with scripting languages) are avoided, ensuring sustained motivation among students.
