Re: Delphi in the future

I had a conversation with a guy who has spent the last couple of years
writing .net commercial software and his answer to what he gained by
doing .net was largely seamless networking and even bigger, better code
security.

I think I would have to side with him on the latter. Being able to
specify security right down to the method level is something I can't
see being easily done in any Win32 development platform right now.

Before I started my last project, I spent some time reading about .Net. I went
through a .Net book, and ended up with more questions than I had to start with.
I have cousin who teaches .Net, so borrowed some of his time. The end result of
the conversation was there would be little gained by using .Net for my project.
I had to balance the time lost in productivity on the learning curve vs. .Net
gains for the application. Not to mention the thousands of dollars I have
invested in VCL components; both 3rd party and internal.

I suppose when I need security at the method level I'll have to take another
look at .Net. So far I'm just not impressed enough to make that move.
