AJAX in Delphi
I am a long time Delphi user. My interest in web development forced me to check other languages or areas that a standard Delphi (or desktop applications) programmer avoids or simply ignores. I am sorry, but this is the reality. Check the Borland Delphi newsgroups and see the amount of discussions on internet-related technologies for yourself. Those newsgroups are simply dying. The ASP.NET ones are still moving because they are new.
I even asked a couple of times if there is anybody using AJAX in Delphi. I had only some responses asking “what is this AJAX thing?” and it just stopped afterwards.
As always when it comes to Delphi web development, I see a hope in Marco Cantù’s books and articles. And now he’s even presenting an AJAX in Delphi session at the 2005 European Borland DevCon, which I will be trying to attend.
Note to self: an article on Delphi Internet technologies history would be usefull.
