I am in that boat at the moment. We have not moved from Delphi because not of all our customers have a machine that could run .Net, and despite trying, they didnt want to upgrade. That has changed a bit over recent years, but we have not had the time to look at C#. I have had a quick look at Prisim but once again no real oportunities you use it. I WANT to leave my current job. I have been here for 8.5 years and NEED a change, but I stuck because our organsiation had not moved with this times and I cant really apply for a .net role. We did do a vb.net training course 5 years ago....never used it ! I must admit too, that .Net had not really "spun my wheels" becasue I really dont like the whole .net overhead and having to deal with .net installations as part of an installation process. Delphi is just one exe and windows, simple. (well thats a bit general, but you get my point) I have heard too that C# is meant to be easy-ish if you come from a Delphi back ground. I that a true statement? Jeremy On Thu, Apr 9, 2009 at 10:59 AM, Kyley Harris <[email protected]> wrote: haha.. I simply am watching the market and trends of delphi in this country, and I've kept track of many of the companies I know that use delphi. Most of the companies that had delphi developers now have 1 or 2 maximum on staff. the rest is outsourced offshore, or they are now using other languages and following modern trends of c# etc. I am in the position of writing and selling software, so choosing delphi is fine.. my customers are not concerned by the language used, only the end product.. More and more, I see other bigger companies ditch delphi for other languages.. So I said no hope, meaning.. If you loose your delphi employment, and are seeking a new job as an employee, rather than as an independant software vendor.. its getting slimmer and slimmer pickings in the market.
