I once programmed with Delphi 3-5 very extensively until about three
years ago. Then I got into web design for a while. I wanted to start
doing some programming projects again but cross-platform, and I looked
and found Lazarus.  At first I thought - this is great but it'll
probably be some half-baked work in progress. Wow was I wrong! Even
though it isn't perfect yet, I have looked and looked and looked for a
good, intuitive, easy-to-learn, cross-platform development environment
and have not found anything that comes even close to Lazarus. Lazarus
and Free Pascal are miracles for me. Thanks to all the developers who
made it possible.

There´s also the excellent and very complete wxWidgets cross-platform
library that has Code::Blocks and wxDevCpp RADs which are pretty cool.
wxWidgets has binding for several languages like C++ (the most common)
but also Pascal, Java, Python and even Lua.  All these are GPL
software.

www.wxwidgets.org - Main library project
wxdsgn.sourceforge.net - Excelent RAD IDE but windows only (yet
project are still cross-platform)
www.codeblocks.org - Cross-platform RAD IDE (with wxSmith plugin)

If anyone knows any others please post. I´m allways looking for news

One thing that missed out of Lazarus project is: a professional web
site.  Let's take a look and learn from other open source projects web
sites or the wxWidgets web site in particular.

the other one.
