I have been thinking about this myself.
I started trying to get to grips with PHP, but in the end got fed up with
wrestling with HTML and CSS - working with those technologies is like
stepping back in time in terms to tools and "debugging" etc, and I found it
frustrating and tiresome.
So at that point I decided that the next major web project I would do I
would tackle very differently:
1. Build the functionality as a web service using
Delphi - something I can then host in Azure or Amazon EC2
if I wish
2. Build a Delphi desktop app to exercise and test my
service (and perhaps provide a desktop app GUI for
the users)
This allows me to leverage my expertise in Delphi and focus very much on the
functionality of the web site without. Then, once enough of the web site
functionality is in place in the web service...
3. Hire a web designer co. to build the web *GUI*
4. Ditto for an Android/iPhone app if appropriate

Friday question (or Can of Worms)
Hey guys, I'm looking at getting into serious web development. I used to do
this a number of years ago with standard Delphi 6 at that time.
I have Delphi 7
I've been looking seriously at Ruby on Rails but that would mean learning a
whole new language and process
There has been a lot of talk of the validity of using IntraWeb with Delphi.
Perhaps others have a better suggestion? What do others use? Should I bite
the bullet and jump to RoR or upgrade to D2011 or something else?
Steve
