    Hi, nortee, Yes, there are :) I use Delphi mainly for desktop UI on Windows, though. I would love to see articles talking about Delphi techniques, and I'm sure I will definitely thumb up your articles.

    Hi smags13!!! Excellent, we live!!! :D I use delphi for (amongst other things) standard windows applications, windows service applications and client/server products as well :). To get the ball rolling, this is where my technical article "cherry" was popped: The Configurator[^]. I am going to be adding more articles related to the techniques I described/highlighted because admittedly they require a lot more detailed explanation that would not only be kind of outside the scope of the article, but would have made the article very long and take away what the article was actually about. I hope you, and any others out there, like it :).

    Cheers, Glen Vlotman "You cannot code for stupidity"

      Hi, I'd just like to ask: Are there still people on here that dabble and/or work with Delphi? I'm just asking because I am in the process of posting several articles and tips and tricks regarding Delphi and I'd just want to know that my efforts to help people would not be in vain. I will still post the articles, don't get me wrong, I'd just prefer that the articles and stuff would be useful to the rest of the community. :)

      Hi Glen, There are no much such Delphi fans here. You can make some speculation from my Delphi article statistics. But I will be very glad to see your articles about Delphi ;) . Good Luck

        Hi Amir, I believe that there are more Delphi guys at heart than they would like to admit. I work on C# and stuff more now than before, but as my "about" states, I will always be a Delphi guy at heart :). And keep yourself posted on my articles, I will be writing a few articles pertaining to (but not limited to) Delphi :)

                Add another Object Pascal affectionado to the list! We use Lazarus/FPC more than Delphi these days for it's cross platform capabilities, but Delphi is the original and genuine! Be well, Dave H.

                    Yup. Using Delphi 2007 for Windows desktop and client/server apps. There is still nothing that beats it for speed and deployment ease IMHO. Cheers -- Jan Holst Jensen, Denmark

                        Delphi since 1.0 baby! Hehe. I use both lazarus and delphi, but do almost all of my initial work in delphi then port it to lazarus. I'm currently using delphi 2007 but expect to be upgrading to the latest and the greatest shortly.

                                  Yes. Something so easy to use, read, maintain and produce "good enough" results with will not easily die. Please, please, post your articles. "They" are probably writing our names down somewhere right now ....

                                    :cool: !!! The more articles on Delphi development there is on the web the better - as long as there good!!! :) Delphi since D4 & now DXE since 1999 - I got an extra $2000 bonus back in 1999 thanks to Delphi. It was so easy to make sure our apps were Y2K compliant compared to COBAL, VB, etc. Also, there for a while Borland had a much better C++ compiler than MS did - in my humble opinion. Our bread & butter app is Delphi 2007 with some linkage to .NET via the Hydra libraries from RemObjects. I wanted to move the app to DXE, but the whole Unicode thing would be a nightmare for us. I think Delphi developers are still out there, but mainly for maintenance development. I've seen a lot of Delphi devs hired to port apps to C#. I think the C# learning curve is easier for a Delphi dev - at least if was for me. I'm currently moving to the web in the form of ASP.NET MVC 3 & HTML5 to get the cross platform thing going on...including mobile. This type of development takes a whole different mind set and make my brain hurt. Delphi development taught me how to be a developer, has helped me provide for my family, allowed me teach others how to develop "good code", and will always be my 1st love.

                                    -Rob C#, ASP.NET MVC, WCF, Delphi, C++, HTML, jQuery, SQL Server, Firebird, Interbase, blah, blah

                                      Would love to have been, but still stuck on CPPB6 (upgraded from 5 about 3 months ago). Still a great environment though, even though I use C# more these days.

                                        Hi, I'd just like to ask: Are there still people on here that dabble and/or work with Delphi? I'm just asking because I am in the process of posting several articles and tips and tricks regarding Delphi and I'd just want to know that my efforts to help people would not be in vain. I will still post the articles, don't get me wrong, I'd just prefer that the articles and stuff would be useful to the rest of the community. :)

                                        I probably will never touch Pascal in my life, but one thing I can say about this: Write them! Write them well, not only you will help people here (even if they were only a few) but you will also attract people that will find your articles on google and will love the content so much that they will join the community, making the community even better.

                                          Yes, indeed. I've used Delphi since Turbo Pascal as my sole language for desktop. All my work (medical equipment) is Delphi. There has never been a technical reason to switch, and many technical reasons to stay with Delphi. It is still the most advance language IMHO. Later, Paul
