Anders Hejlsberg, designer of Turbo Pascal, Delphi, and C#, Microsoft Technical Fellow and lead architect of TypeScript: “Pascal is among the most significant programming languages in history and was used to teach an entire generation of programmers. This book is the definitive history of Pascal and the many implementations that made it popular. It is also an excellent recounting of the early history of Borland and Turbo Pascal, the first true integrated development environment that became a runaway success in the 80s. If you’ve ever used Pascal or have ever been curious about its success, you’ll love reading this book. I know I did!”

Ian Barker, Embarcadero Developer Advocate: “This book is not just the result of painstaking research by an avid Pascal fan; it is the distilled product of many hours of direct interviews by the author with key figures who were present at the time of such milestones as the initial launch of many of Borland’s products. For any fan of computer history, these pages are an engaging read. For those who loved or love Pascal in all its forms, they are nothing short of required reading.”

Marco Cantu, Best-selling Delphi books author and Delphi Product Manager at Embarcadero: “This is an incredibly well researched and extraordinarily detailed account of the journey of the Pascal language, from the early days of compilers and tools to the huge success of Borland’s Turbo Pascal, and on to the birth of Delphi and where it stands today. I witnessed the last part of this story, having been on board as a user since Turbo Pascal 3 and now fully on Delphi, but I found a lot of extra details and information I wasn’t aware of or for which I had a vague recollection. This is a must read for every Pascal and Delphi fan of the developer community!”
