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?

Wise words. Thanks to third-party
The Polytech here has substantially moved from Delphi to Java in
the past year or two also. This is regrettable.
On another sad note:
Auckland Uni held a technology expo day a couple of months or so ago. I was
informed by a reliable source that they announced at this event the

Live data to the web? You make it sound uncommon, or make it sound like VB
can't do that. I find PHP allows me to get data from my databases to a
webpage quicker and easier than Delphi anyday, with alot less overhead.

Delphi set the standard for RAD OO development 5 years ago, no question.
However it's competitors are catching rapidly. (I believe VB will even have
inheritance in it's next release!)
If I couldn't use Delphi then they would have their
