I have been using PHP because I did not want the server to be tied to MS. Its also very popular. I started off with Delphi for PHP. But the investment in learning it was wasted. The only thing I use it for is for debugging now. There is no vcl in sight.

Had t learn PHP, javascript, HTML and CSS. I think you have to , if you want it efficient. Mine has to be as I am targeting millions of users not just hundreds. It is my spare time project too. Check it out if you want 7bfaces.com. You have to signup to see it and note its work in progress.

Thanks Berend,
I'm not doing this for a job but working on my on applications at home in my spare time. I've been programming for many years but not as a job since about 2005. My next project will be totally web based and I've been thinking that I'd need to make the move to RubyonRails at that point, but before I make that commitment, I wondered if anyone was using Delphi successfully on good advanced web projects - or something else. I know the C#.NET argument is a pretty good argument but for some reasons I'm resisting that move.

    I mean, you're learning this for fun or for having a job? Not sure how
    many RoR jobs there are in NZ.

    Some years ago I heard that most Delphi programmers went to PHP. The
    PHP market in NZ is pretty robust, so that works.

    But if you want to stay in the Microsoft World, C# + ASPX or whatever
    the greatest latest technology is from M$ would be the best fit.
