Answer 1

It is definitely a challenge for this MIGRATION to be executed. But need good PLANNING!

We first need to find all the possible components which also needs to be migrated along with the Code. If there are 3rd party components used in Delphi7 project which are not available then its quite complicated to get further on. Secondly, the other type conversion related to Unicode, which is quite easy. And finally ofcourse we need to get other supporting libraries, BDE, and Database Adapaters in place.

For Rich User Interface, Delphi FireMonkey can be used.

Delphi is getting better and better as it has now support from Desktop to Web to Mobiles application development.
