Perhaps, but how about Interbase data? How about data inwards from the web
to the main live database. How about if that main live database was also
interacted with by the main application written in Delphi?
With Delphi, that edge is that I can not only program their application, I
can also interact with their diversely located customers and employees.
Sure I could do that with 2 different languages (or with VB), but I have an
edge if I can do it with Delphi. I've written a lot of stuff in Perl, but I
just don't like it and why should I if Delphi gives me that ability - Hell,
even FoxPro will give be that ability and I confess that the only reason I
dropped that direction was because it's constantly being buried by
Microsoft so it's future is shaky.
I could go to VB or C but VB gives me the willies and STILL tries to decide
how you should program. C I have done but not enough to be comfortable
with, perhaps it's time. I'm a Pascal man - eat, sleep talk and think in
Pascal. I was using Pascal even before Borland was born (anybody remember
Pascal MT+ in CP/M?).
