Hello everybody, I like to use external components in our projects, I tend to look for the positive points in using them, but my boss prefered that I use only what IDE provides, his reason for that: Next Relaeases of the IDE, he is afraid that these components maybe not be supported well in future releases of the IDE, we use Delphi programming language, I think this problem is not a big deal in C#, what do you think about using externals components in Software Projects ? Thanks everybody!!!

Thanks everybody, I got a lot of important ideas from you, thanks for your help!! :) :) :cool:

Hello everybody, What are the steps and skills required to estimate the cost of a project or some programming task, I don't want 100% exact estimate, but I want some indicator for the time needed, and for the progress, my collueage at work doesn't believe in Estimates, so he prefers to not do estimation at all, (he has 3 years experience, while I have only about 1 year experience, ) and becuase of this we can never give boss an estimate to our projects, which I believe not to be good, so experienced developer what can I do to do good estimation for my work?? Thanks so much
