Personally I am tired with Borland marketing policy or people who do not see that more and more delphi jobs / programmers are shrinking. Everybody brings his experience. And if you want mine, let me share the numbers with you folks : In my current company : Stop buying Delphi since version 5. My project which kept 3+ Delphi programmers has been switched completely in Java. Another project in my company (a pharmacy software one) is been switched completely in Java too. Number of delphi programmers in this project: 10+. (BTW my company used to us JBuilder but now is switched on Eclipse.....fyi : Number of Java programmers 50+ ) My previous company (5+ Delphi programmers) is thinking to switch in MSVS/C#. It is not decided yet. Hope my experience is not what is going on out there and/or is not what we delphi programmers share with each-other at least in east-coast. Probably you have heard that many VB(Visual Basic) programmers are switched from VB6 to Delphi.Net but still this is not the case in my company. Very good VB(Visual Basic) programmers loved VB.Net (at least those I know of). If someone of you gens will show us the increasing Delphi programmer number that would be great, and that is what we want to hear. As you mentioned above, "if 6 were in the agreement and 5 were not", obviousely at least that is not a good sign. G.Y. - Delphi fan. Cool enough ? Get Delphi ! |
