RE: DELPHI - where does it fit in the scheme of things?
We use Delphi and CF here. The main reason for that is most of our products have some standard application interfaces as well as web interfaces. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, January 09, 2001 1:48 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: DELPHI - where does it fit in the scheme of things?

For those that are using Delphi, what role does it play in the internet? Is it being used strictly for COM access with CF, or are there hidden web abilities some of us may be unaware of?

RE: DELPHI - where does it fit in the scheme of things?
We use it for all of our COM stuff and for all of our stand alone Windows apps. Delphi can be used as a CGI by using its ISAPI capabilities. There are those that argue that Delphi's ISAPI is superior(in speed) to ASP,CF, or whatever. I still think that it is personal preference as to what any developer uses. I am not sure how you would set up your web server to use Delphi's ISAPI, but it is an option that you have. One thing we consider when we are trying to decide what 'Technology' to use, is when the person who creates this app is gone, how hard is it to find good CF,ASP, or Delphi programmers?

Delphi is a client/server RAD development tool, developed by Borland (Inprise or whatever they are called this days). Main competitors are (were) Visual Basic and PowerBuilder.

Re: DELPHI - where does it fit in the scheme of things?
I remember that Nick Bradbury's original releases of Homesite (before HS was bought by Allaire, which begat CFStudio...) was a Delphi app. It would stand to reason, then, that the current releases at least have some Delphi floating around in them. And wasn't there a known bug with how Delphi handled Z-Order that caused CFStudio/HS that caused it not to "pop forward" on window focus? I recall having a problem with this at the previous job, and I think it was attributed to a Delphi glitch.

RE: DELPHI - where does it fit in the scheme of things?
Yeah, its all Delphi based.

DELPHI - where does it fit in the scheme of things?
At one of my sites, an employee who has some influence over my client decision maker has started saying they need to use Delphi in our site, presumably to give himself a role in the web site. We already have too many technologies in my opinion - ASP, ColdFusion, static HTML pages, and my immediate reaction is to pour cold water on the notion of using DELPHI anywhere. But I confess, I don't know a lot about Delphi, and before I react, I wanted to find out from some of you knowledgeable people whether I'm about to knock a great idea on the head. What is Delphi? Is it a peer to ASP and ColdFusion or is it more a peer to VisualBasic and used for making COM Objects? Is it any good? Would you other webmasters live with ASP, ColdFusion AND Delphi in your sites? Aside from the politics involved, what are the issues I face having Delphi added to my mix of technologies?
