A very nice "reading" of the sale of CodeGear to Embarcadero.
Verity Stob in "A reading from the second book of Codh" has the usual terrific and truth-telling poem about the sale ot CodeGear to "Encheladoramawhat" (Embarcadero). Hilarious and truth-telling (like the explanation of the term "kylixed")... you must read it!
This is old hat. Nick Hodges referenced it in his blog ages ago.
Funny, but was actually published 6 weeks ago. Anyway go read the new Verity Stob article "How to be an instant Web me-2.0 developer" from last Monday 2008-07-07. Nice take on the state of web app development and web apps less than optimal UI. The article do reference Delphi as well. Doei RIF
I'm glad somebody finally pointed out the .NET Emperor with no clothes. While .NET is all the rave, has (what?) 80% of the job market, and is the "all-in-all" if you want to be a software developer in the future, I STILL think Delphi is the best damn software development tool I've ever used. While it doesn't have all of the built-in niceties (like native support for all bitmap file formats), it has a GUI builder and IDE that beats Visual Studio hands down! I hope this transition is a positive one for CodeGear, and that the product survives and thrives in the future.
