Re: I have seen some fat client Dot Net apps2007-09-03 11:45:22 PM delphi68 Just so so one takes this criticism out of context, I should probably point out that I think CodeGear is going a pretty good job (better all the time) and delphi is still the best tool available for the development that I do. -- Regards, Bruce McGee Glooscap Software |

QuoteI've had a chance to come up for air. I will post my thoughts on Delphi tools to develop their own Apache or IIS servers. Yes, people its possible. Once upon a time Delphi was known for delivering the power of C++ with the ease of VB. that is still the truth and it means we have the means to write *real* tech. But Delphi has never been marketed or positioned that way... What we need is a VCL for the Server-side of the tracks. Quote- Bring back something that lets us write native Linux applications.

JEDI? Quote- Bring back something that lets us write native Linux applications. Perhaps working together with FP is in the future. It would be interesting to hear from the FP guys what kind of colaboration they would like to see. Quote
