I think most people are interested in ASP.Net as it makes developing web
aps almost as easy as developing native aps in Delphi.
I still use Delphi for native and Chrome with ASP.Net for web development.

I don't use Lazarus even though I would like to because it doesn't have
a standard DB interface like dbExpress. It is too bad everyone keeps
recreating the wheel for each database. I am the author of dbExpress
Plus and would love to port the components to Lazarus if someone would
help with the low level db stuff. I also have a very good relationship
with many of the commercial 3rd party driver companies and I am sure I
could get them to support the interface if it where similar to dbExpress
Plus.
Hope this helped.

Hi
Why is it that every body and anything got a Dot Net version? Even
Borland's got a dot net enabled Delphi coming it seems. Some say that
Microsoft got Dot net idea from Delphi.
In Linux there is a mono project. What could the advantages be ? Is it
for collaborative development? Where does all this leave Lazarus/Fpc?
Already my head is cluttered and confused with so many tools. One
company is offered me a job , if I could write the Suduku game using
Python. For my work I use Delphi/Lazarus and PHP. Now if I need to
get out of this company I need to go the dot net way.
Yeah, I understand, Computer Science is not like Physics or
Mathematics. Today's tech is dumped within few years. Quantum
mechanics and Relativity is perennial as Calculus and Probablity
theory. Is there anything like that in CS? Maybe plain C or Pascal
fits the bill?
My colleagues in other departments like Physics and Math regret they
dint go the CS route. But I regret I dint stick to Physics or
Mathematics. In these an Equation is always an equation. We dont have
another company coming up and throwing away an equation for a new one.
And we dont have to learn things from scratch to stay in the job.
