Ok. Simple Commercial Productivity Tool: Productivity Percentage = Profits/Wages;
If this is less than 1 then you are not a productive person, but a liability. if it is >= 2 then you are probably a productive employee to your employer. There may be many other methods of productivity, such as in an open source environment etc. but at the end of the day, you don't want to work at a loss so productivity is not really a measurement of skill level, but perceived usefulness measured by profitability. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of John Bird Sent: Saturday, 29 April 2006 6:24 p.m. To: 'NZ Borland Developers Group - Delphi List' Subject: RE: [DUG] Productivity Well obviously the quality and simplicity and brevity of code and its saleability are all important.....I am just wondering if how productivity is measured by others. One way is how a programmers output fulfills a specific implementation request...but that is only relevant to one firm and one project. What I am wondering is what are more general measures useful for Delphi/Windows projects? In the stuff in D2006 are there any code statistics tools?

Dbl click on it to open the onclick event, and go showmessage('abc'); This will generate what, 1 line fo code for the declaration of the control, 1 line for the procedure declaration, then 4 lines for the actual procedure wrapper including the begin and end; so that's 6 lines of code, and you only actually wrote.....ONE so IMHO, lines of code written in a RAD enviroment means squat.

Also. What you do in 1000 lines of code, could be done by another in 50. And vice versa. If x = 5 then Result := true else Result := false; Or Result := x =5; Which is more efficient? Which is more productive? Lines of code tell you nothing except that you will always refactor it down to a better set of code As you become a better programmer.

In my first year seriously doing Delphi (learning Delphi and programming around 1/4 of my working days) I have written around 25,000 lines of .PAS files in about 15 programs - are there any standard measures of productivity?
