HI Alister,
Horses for courses.
Many programmers on this List work on just one or two large projects, in which
case it is a no-brainer to use OO.
On the other hand, many others are involved with many smaller projects, in
which case the RAD approach wins out.
Somewhere along the way y
My older code is RAD style. I have a 14 year old application with 500k+
lines of code that I still maintain and extend without too much pain.
All my newer stuff uses the ti object persistence framework (tiopf.com). it
takes a bit more work to get started but results in better code.

Same as most of the others on the list. A bit of both. RAD, Data Bound
stuff for simple edit screens and reports, but OO structure for more
complex screens and processes. Even the simple edit screens are based on
top of a few useful base classes that do most of the grunt work.

Just an interesting observation - why do people think that RAD programming
excludes OOP programming?
RAD is a methodology, OOP is a programming style.

Thanks Steve, I was wondering too. I think the OP has something specific
in mind.

My approach depends on the project.
For quick, cheap and cheerful projects, or utility style applications I
use RAD. For mid size projects I always use an OO approach. I've had good
luck with InstantObjects.

Yea, thanks Conor,
Sure, in RAD, as it is in any Delphi project, you can certainly get away
with simply programming the event handlers in the components (depending on
the application). That should not preclude being able to create, for
example, an Application Object that handles all your globals l

So what we need is OO RAD? Where you define classes and they 'instantly'
appear on your palette (and are dynamically updated)
And a O-R framework is part of the language?
The problem has been of course that the Table Row = Business Object is a
95% accurate solution and so the Delphi IDE
h
Its never "that other 5%". My favourite saying is explaining that the main
problem with most programming is that last little wee 95%.

Has anyone done anything significant with ECO, it looked pretty good to
me but I haven't started a green field project in years so haven't had a
reason to give it a try.

Anybody using Borland's ECO framework in a production app?
I played with this a few times as versions came out but I always found that
it managed to screw itself up even on very simple apps and it was too hard
to try and fix it.

Sounds like a title looking for a salary

Must be something to do with age as they say that "Wisdom comes with age".

it never pays to ask if that's happened with me :o)

Well I would say a "Software Architect" must be an order of magnitude

Hi
Just trying to use the free version of Install aware that comes with
Delphi 2007. Seems to work ok, however in a couple of the screens I get
a 'include index.htm with your project to show here' or similar
wording. I would do this however I don't know how !
Any ideas?

Hi,
Is there any open source or free memory leakage tool available to track
memory leakage in delphi application.

FreeMM?
If you got Delphi 2006 and above you can make a start by just doing
on main form create
ReportMemoryLeaksOnShutdown := true;
for more detailed info then you need to add the full FreeMM pas files
and dll etc.
