>> Borland was .. a very traditional closed company One of the great things about Borland was they published the source code to their VCL (their main platform library Delphi and C++ builder applications used). So you could read, learn from, troubleshoot and debug with the source code. At a time when Microsoft and most companies didn't. And the VCL design patterns were/are incredibly elegant, and studying them an excellent and accessible way for an interested programmer to learn some real software architecture skills.
