"Kylix still alive. DecCo think Kylix will support MacOS and Solaris. "
That is great! Specially the MacOS port (okay, I'm being a little selfish here, but what the hell... ). These DevCo plans are getting better and better.
Thanks for the info!
Regards,
Marco |

What? No .Net 2.0 support in 2006?
According to the original Roadmap, Highlander should be out in 2006. Has
this changed?

A person's blog said Highlander will be released in year 2007.
But another person's blog said Highlander will be released still year 2006.
David I can not speak Japanese language, I think.
A lot of information may lost in translation.

better 2007 than a 2006er solution that works instable...

Fairly odd with a roadmap slide that maps the past...
Anyway, too bad Unicode didn't figure on the slide!
Though I suppose it's fairly certain it'll be a part of VCL 64 bit (in
2-1/2 years time), I really hoped we'd see some solid progress on the
VCL 32-bit front too.
These days Delphi is probably used more outside the US than inside.
Plenty of Delphi developers in Southern and Eastern Europe, Middle East
and Asia needs Unicode...

As if these two options were the only available.
What about a stable version in 2006?
A RAD tool is sorely needed for ASP.Net 2.0, for real programmers.
Microsoft has with VS 2005 taken a step backwards, in the wrong
direction IMO. The tool satisfies "point and click" development, but the
muddling of GUI controls and non-visual components together in a messy
soup is not what I would have done.
Here DevCo would have had a real opportunity to repeat the success with
Delphi 10 years ago. What the world needs is an IDE that separates the
GUI and the code logic, and still maintains the RAD approach.
VS 2005 is horrible for spoilt Delphi developers. Still it is ASP.Net
2.0 and C# 2.0 which both have so many advantages that one today has no
choice for ASP.Net development than to use 2.0. (IMHO that is)
When Highlander finally hits the street, a lot of water has flowed in
the rivers, and I hardly see myself developing web apps using Delphi,
unless DevCo manage to come up with a Delphi-ish solution for ASP.Net
2.0 - soon.
In the mean time, I (and probably a lot of others) use VS 2005 and tweak
it as much as we can to resemble the Delphi way of doing things.
I write some components and a small framework to circumvent the new VS
"advantages", maybe this will be made public one day..

But a "bad" NET 2.0 solution is much more worse that a late NET 2.0
solution. Remempber D2005 and D8. They should deliver it if it is ready.
I also take a look at VS2005, nice tool. Nevertheless Delphi (VCL, RAD
Dev) - 2006 - ist much more better.
Nils
PS:we don't use ASP.NET... we still use ISAPI/Webbroker (with a lot of
success)...

I agree with you Ingvar.
What worries me is that .Net 3.0 might be in the works when Borland finally
delivers .Net 2.0 support. I'd rather want them to catch up and quickly.

Why can't DevCo write a VS plug-in?
They could acquire chrome and with combined efforts show the world what
real RAD development is.
I have seldom seen such a great opportunity for a product as a real RAD
IDE for ASP.Net. Microsoft is years behind Borland in certain areas, and
the VS 2005 way of doing it for web apps is so clumsy that only VB
developers can feel at home.
Even if the product got 5% market share it should mean a success, if I
am not completely wrong.
