Here in Italy, Delphi is no longer proposed for new programs in a serious industrial/setting: Java, VisualStudio, C++, a little C#; there are NO requests for experienced Delphi programmers in Milan;
I have tried to work in Delphi here and I have 2 choices: learn something else or emigrate; I can't see Lazarus as a working substitute for Delphi, given the advantages of Eclipse, Mono etc Chrome as a plugin for VisualStudio? - Just as well learn Java or C#: why insist on Pascal? The current state of Borland will make little difference in Italy, though I think it's on the right track for finishing Delphi off completely elsewhere: it seems that the 2006 version is a VisualStudio clone with the disadvantage that it is less widely used; sorry to be pessimistic, but that's how it has seemed to me for quite a while; Kevin O'Neill P.S. I am currently cross-training to C# which I don't like as much as Delphi, but it does work. ----- Original Message ----- From: "bongp" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, June 15, 2006 6:02 AM Subject: [delphi-en] Delphi where is now and where it going > Hi guys, > > We love delphi for its fast and its robust on developing windows > applications plus the third parties and delphi communities that exist > all over the net.
