About me
Welcome!
I am the editor of this blog. My name is Marius Alin Popescu. I am a Romanian software developer working in France (since 2001), mostly in Delphi and .Net. I am currently working at PC PAL, near Paris (France), as a solution developer and architect for healtchcare desktop and web applications. I am married and father of two daughters and a little boy. Love listening to progressive music, take a bike or walk in the roundabouts, fishing from time to time and definetly having good laughs as often as possible.
Working in Delphi for all this time (more than 12 years now) gave me a lot of experience in the (database) desktop software. For the last couple of years, however, I watched more closely the web side of applications development. Coming from a mostly desktop oriented programming language, I had/have interesting if sometimes painfull experiences on my web development "conversion" (Delphi, ASP.NET, Ruby on Rails and now ASP.NET MVC).
This blog is mostly about web development, thinking about a "new web" i.e. better using the current one, and about Delphi now and then. You can see from my early posts that I was (still am) floating on the web 2.0 wave of ideas and developments. I think both desktop and web development can and should learn from each other’s strengths and issues. The two worlds are more and more close nowadays, especially since the AJAX boom (around 2004).
Another area of interest form me is the visual design of software applications. The company I am working for produces some really advanced scientific graphic controls specialised in children growth charts. Our clients usually include them in their own applications (web and desktop).
