Quality Applications built using Delphi – Skype is one of them

Want to know what are the quality applications built using Delphi ?. In this blog post , we’l start exploring them.

Skype is a software that allows users to make voice , video calls or send text messages over internet. I never realised that the application that i use ( skype ) was developed using Delphi . I found this information in the following links

Here is the further information on the skype .

• Windows user interface was developed in Pascal using Delphi,
• Linux version was Developed using C++ with Qt
• Mac OS X version was written using Objective-C with Cocoa.

That sounds interesting to me too 🙂 .
